Introduction

This repository is for Understanding Convolution for Semantic Segmentation (WACV 2018), which achieved state-of-the-art result on the CityScapes, PASCAL VOC 2012, and Kitti Road benchmark.

Requirement

We tested our code on:

Ubuntu 16.04, Python 2.7 with

MXNet (0.11.0), numpy(1.13.1), cv2(3.2.0), PIL(4.2.1), and cython(0.25.2)

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone git@github.com:TuSimple/TuSimple-DUC.git
   python setup.py develop --user

2. Download the pretrained model from Google Drive.

3. Build MXNet (only tested on the TuSimple version):

   git clone --recursive git@github.com:TuSimple/mxnet.git
   vim make/config.mk (we should have USE_CUDA = 1, modify USE_CUDA_PATH, and have USE_CUDNN = 1 to enable GPU usage.)
   make -j
   cd python
   python setup.py develop --user

   For more MXNet tutorials, please refer to the official documentation.

4. Training:

   cd train
   python train_model.py ../configs/train/train_cityscapes.cfg

   The paths/dirs in the .cfg file need to be specified by the user.

5. Testing

   cd test
   python predict_full_image.py ../configs/test/test_full_image.cfg
   

   The paths/dirs in the .cfg file need to be specified by the user.

6. Results:

   Modify the result_dir path in the config file to save the label map and visualizations. The expected scores are:

   (single scale testing denotes as 'ss' and multiple scale testing denotes as 'ms')

   • ResNet101-DUC-HDC on CityScapes testset (mIoU): 79.1(ss) / 80.1(ms)
   • ResNet152-DUC on VOC2012 (mIoU): 83.1(ss)
