News

• Our work can be reproduced with high version pytorch after fixing the issue caused by InplaceABNSync. Please refer to our modification. 😃😃😃Thanks to Zhengyuan and Jiawen.
• Our another work [EWF] has been accepted to CVPR 2023.
• Our method RCIL has been re-implemented in the framework 🔥🔥🔥 [CSSegmentation].

Method

Update

• Support CIL on cityscapes dataset
• init code for Classification
• We have fixed bugs in the repository
• Add training scripts for ADE20K
• 09/04/2022 init code for segmentation
• 09/04/2022 init readme

Benchmark and Setting

There are two commonly used settings, disjoint and overlapped. In the disjoint setting, assuming we know all classes in the future, the images in the current training step do not contain any classes in the future. The overlapped setting allows potential classes in the future to appear in the current training images. We call each training on the newly added dataset as a step. Formally, X-Y denotes the continual setting in our experiments, where X denotes the number of classes that we need to train in the first step. In each subsequent learning step, the newly added dataset contains Y classes.

There are some settings reported in our paper. You can also try it on other any custom settings.

• Continual Class Segmentation:

  1. PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset:
     • 15-5 overlapped
     • 15-5 disjoint
     • 15-1 overlapped
     • 15-1 disjoint
     • 10-1 overlapped
     • 10-1 disjoint
  2. ADE20K dataset:
     • 100-50 overlapped
     • 100-10 overlapped
     • 50-50 overlapped
     • 100-5 overlapped

• Continual Domain Segmentation:

  1. Cityscapes:
     • 11-5
     • 11-1
     • 1-1

• Extension Experiments on Continual Classification

  1. ImageNet-100
     • 50-10

Performance

• Continual Class Segmentation on PASCAL VOC 2012

• Continual Class Segmentation on ADE20K

• Continual Domain Segmentation on Cityscapes

Dataset Prepare

• PASCVAL VOC 2012
  sh data/download_voc.sh
• ADE20K
  sh data/download_ade.sh
• Cityscapes
  sh data/download_cityscapes.sh

Environment

1. conda install --yes --file requirements.txt (Higher version pytorch should be suitable.)
2. Install inplace-abn

Training

1. Dowload pretrained model from ResNet-101_iabn to pretrained/
2. We have prepared some training scripts in scripts/. You can train the model by

sh scripts/voc/rcil_10-1-overlap.sh

Inference

You can simply modify the bash file by adding --test, like

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${GPU} python3 -m torch.distributed.launch --master_port ${PORT} --nproc_per_node=${NB_GPU} run.py --data xxx ... --test
