⚡Fast_Seg⚡

This repo try to implement state-of-art fast semantic segmentation model s on road scene dataset(CityScape, Mapillary, Camvid).

News!!

Check out our Fast Segmentation Framework in SFSegNets. SFNet-ECCV-2020, SFNet-Lite, IJCV-2023

What is the purpose of this repo?

This repo aims to do experiments and verify the idea of fast semantic segmentation, and this repo also provides some fast models.

Our ICnet implementation achieves 74.5% mIoU, which is 5% point higher than the original paper. !!!!! Here: model

GALD-net provides some state-of-art accurate methods of implementation.

Usage

1. use train_distribute.py for training For example, use scripts in exp floder for training and evaluation.
2. use prediction_test_different_size.py for prediction with different size input.

Datasets Perparation

• You can download [cityscapes] dataset (https://www.cityscapes-dataset.com/) from here. Note: please download leftImg8bit_trainvaltest.zip(11GB) and gtFine_trainvaltest(241MB).
• You can download camvid dataset from here.
• You can download pretrained XceptionA with RGB input and ResNet18 with bgr input and ResNet50 with bgr input [link]:(https://pan.baidu.com/s/1mM_Lc44iX9CT1nPq6tjOAA) password:bnfv. or ['link']: resnet50-deep.pth, icnet_final.pth, resnet18-deep-caffe.pth, xceptiona_imagenet.pth

Some Advice on Training

1. use syn-bn(apex).
2. use batch-size >=8.
3. use deep supervised loss for easier optimation.
4. use large crop size during training.
5. longer training time for small models(60,000 interaction or more).
6. use Mapillary data for pretraining for boosting performance.
7. Deeply based resnet runs slowly than torch pretrained resnet but with higher accuracy.
8. The small network doesn't need ImageNet pretraining if training longer time on Cityscape.(Fast-SCNN paper)
