Abstract: Identifying unexpected objects on roads in semantic segmentation (e.g., identifying dogs on roads) is crucial in safety-critical applications. Existing approaches use images of unexpected objects from external datasets or require additional training (e.g., retraining segmentation networks or training an extra network), which necessitate a non-trivial amount of labor intensity or lengthy inference time. One possible alternative is to use prediction scores of a pre-trained network such as the max logits (i.e., maximum values among classes before the final softmax layer) for detecting such objects. However, the distribution of max logits of each predicted class is significantly different from each other, which degrades the performance of identifying unexpected objects in urban-scene segmentation. To address this issue, we propose a simple yet effective approach that standardizes the max logits in order to align the different distributions and reflect the relative meanings of max logits within each predicted class. Moreover, we consider the local regions from two different perspectives based on the intuition that neighboring pixels share similar semantic information. In contrast to previous approaches, our method does not utilize any external datasets or require additional training, which makes our method widely applicable to existing pre-trained segmentation models. Such a straightforward approach achieves a new state-of-the-art performance on the publicly available Fishyscapes Lost & Found leaderboard with a large margin.

How to Run

Train the segmentation model

Please download resnet101 network pretrained on ImageNet dataset from this link and place it in pretrained/resnet101-imagenet.pth path. Then run the below command.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 ./scripts/train_r101_os8.sh

Obtain statistics from training samples

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 ./scripts/calc_stat_r101_os8.sh

Evaluate on Out-of-Distribution dataset

Download the pretrained model here and after creating "<Directory Home>/pretrained", place it under the folder.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python eval.py --ood_dataset_path <path_to_OoD_dataset>
