Introduction

This repository contains the self-training based methods described in the ECCV 2018 paper "Domain Adaptation for Semantic Segmentation via Class-Balanced Self-Training". Self-training (ST), Class-balanced self-training (CBST) with Spatial Priors (CBST-SP) are implemented. CBST is the core algorithm for the 1st and 3rd winner of Domain Adaptation of Semantic Segmentation Challenge in CVPR 2018 Workshop on Autonomous Driving (WAD).

Requirements:

The code is tested in Ubuntu 16.04. It is implemented based on MXNet 1.3.0 and Python 2.7.12. For GPU usage, the maximum GPU memory consumption is about 7GB in a single NVIDIA TiTan Xp.

Setup

We assume you are working in cbst-master folder.

0. Datasets:

• Download GTA-5 dataset. Since GTA-5 contains images with different resolutions, we recommend resize all images to 1052x1914.
• Download Cityscapes.
• Download SYNTHIA-RAND-CITYSCAPES.
• Put downloaded data in "data" folder.

1. Source pretrained models:

• Download source model trained in GTA-5.
• Download source model trained in SYNTHIA.
• For ImageNet pre-traine model, download model in dropbox, provided by official ResNet-38 repository.
• Put source trained and ImageNet pre-trained models in "models/" folder

2. Spatial priors

• Download Spatial priors from GTA-5. Spatial priors are only used in GTA2Cityscapes. Put the prior_array.mat in "spatial_prior/gta/" folder.

Usage

0. Set the PYTHONPATH environment variable:

cd cbst-master
export PYTHONPATH=PYTHONPATH:./

1. Self-training for GTA2Cityscapes:

• CBST-SP:

python issegm/solve_AO.py --num-round 6 --test-scales 1850 --scale-rate-range 0.7,1.3 --dataset gta --dataset-tgt cityscapes --split train --split-tgt train --data-root DATA_ROOT_GTA5 --data-root-tgt DATA_ROOT_CITYSCAPES --output gta2city/cbst-sp --model cityscapes_rna-a1_cls19_s8 --weights models/gta_rna-a1_cls19_s8_ep-0000.params --batch-images 2 --crop-size 500 --origin-size-tgt 2048 --init-tgt-port 0.15 --init-src-port 0.03 --seed-int 0 --mine-port 0.8 --mine-id-number 3 --mine-thresh 0.001 --base-lr 1e-4 --to-epoch 2 --source-sample-policy cumulative --self-training-script issegm/solve_ST.py --kc-policy cb --prefetch-threads 2 --gpus 0 --with-prior True

2. Self-training for SYNTHIA2City:

• CBST:

python issegm/solve_AO.py --num-round 6 --test-scales 1850 --scale-rate-range 0.7,1.3 --dataset synthia --dataset-tgt cityscapes --split train --split-tgt train --data-root DATA_ROOT_SYNTHIA --data-root-tgt DATA_ROOT_CITYSCAPES --output syn2city/cbst --model cityscapes_rna-a1_cls16_s8 --weights models/synthia_rna-a1_cls16_s8_ep-0000.params --batch-images 2 --crop-size 500 --origin-size 1280 --origin-size-tgt 2048 --init-tgt-port 0.2 --init-src-port 0.02 --max-src-port 0.06 --seed-int 0 --mine-port 0.8 --mine-id-number 3 --mine-thresh 0.001 --base-lr 1e-4 --to-epoch 2 --source-sample-policy cumulative --self-training-script issegm/solve_ST.py --kc-policy cb --prefetch-threads 2 --gpus 0 --with-prior False

• To run the code, you need to set the data paths of source data (data-root) and target data (data-root-tgt) by yourself. Besides that, you can keep other argument setting as default.
• For CBST, set "--kc-policy cb" and "--with-prior False". For ST, set "--kc-policy global" and "--with-prior False".
• We use a small class patch mining strategy to mine the patches including small classes. To turn off small class mining, set "--mine-port 0.0".

• Train in Cityscapes, please check the official ResNet-38 repository.

Note

• This code is based on ResNet-38.
• Due to the randomness, the self-training results may slightly vary in each run. Usually the best results will be obtained in 2nd/3rd round. For training in source domain, the best model usually appears during the first 30 epoches. Optimal model appearing in initial stage is also possible.
