Learning to Adapt Structured Output Space for Semantic Segmentation

Pytorch implementation of our method for adapting semantic segmentation from the synthetic dataset (source domain) to the real dataset (target domain). Based on this implementation, our result is ranked 3rd in the VisDA Challenge.

Example Results

Quantitative Reuslts

Installation

• Install PyTorch from http://pytorch.org with Python 2 and CUDA 8.0

• NEW Add the LS-GAN objective to improve the performance

  • Usage: add --gan LS option during training (see below for more details)

• PyTorch 0.4 with Python 3 and CUDA 8.0

  • Usage: replace the training and evaluation codes with the ones in the pytorch_0.4 folder
  • Update: tensorboard is provided by adding --tensorboard in the command
  • Note: the single-level model works as expected, while the multi-level model requires smaller weights, e.g., --lambda-adv-target1 0.00005 --lambda-adv-target2 0.0005. We will investigate this issue soon.

• Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/wasidennis/AdaptSegNet
cd AdaptSegNet

Dataset

• Download the GTA5 Dataset as the source domain, and put it in the data/GTA5 folder

• Download the Cityscapes Dataset as the target domain, and put it in the data/Cityscapes folder

Testing

• NEW Update results using LS-GAN and using Synscapes as the source domain

  • Performance: check the appendix of the updated arXiv paper (updated on 10/17/2019)
  • Pre-trained models

• Download the pre-trained multi-level GTA5-to-Cityscapes model and put it in the model folder

• Test the model and results will be saved in the result folder

python evaluate_cityscapes.py --restore-from ./model/GTA2Cityscapes_multi-ed35151c.pth

• Or, test the VGG-16 based model Model Link

python evaluate_cityscapes.py --model DeeplabVGG --restore-from ./model/GTA2Cityscapes_vgg-ac4ac9f6.pth

• Compute the IoU on Cityscapes (thanks to the code from VisDA Challenge)

python compute_iou.py ./data/Cityscapes/data/gtFine/val result/cityscapes

Training Examples

• NEW Train the GTA5-to-Cityscapes model (single-level with LS-GAN)

python train_gta2cityscapes_multi.py --snapshot-dir ./snapshots/GTA2Cityscapes_single_lsgan \
                                     --lambda-seg 0.0 \
                                     --lambda-adv-target1 0.0 --lambda-adv-target2 0.01 \
                                     --gan LS

• Train the GTA5-to-Cityscapes model (multi-level)

python train_gta2cityscapes_multi.py --snapshot-dir ./snapshots/GTA2Cityscapes_multi \
                                     --lambda-seg 0.1 \
                                     --lambda-adv-target1 0.0002 --lambda-adv-target2 0.001

• Train the GTA5-to-Cityscapes model (single-level)

python train_gta2cityscapes_multi.py --snapshot-dir ./snapshots/GTA2Cityscapes_single \
                                     --lambda-seg 0.0 \
                                     --lambda-adv-target1 0.0 --lambda-adv-target2 0.001
