Accepted by Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2023.

Installation

• Please refer to the dockerfile in the root directory for environment specs. We also provide the docker image here.

Training

Phase 1: Mask Auto-labeling

python main.py

Phase 2: Instance Segmentation Models

We copy the training scripts from mmdet.

To train a model, e.g. ResNet-50/SOLOv2, with 8 GPUs

cd mmdet;
bash tools/dist_train.sh configs/MALMask/solov2_r50_fpn_3x_coco_mal.py 8

For more detail, please refer the documentation or github repo of mmdetection.

Inference and Evaluation

Phase 1: Generating Mask Psuedo-labels

python main.py --resume PATH/TO/WEIGHTS --label_dump_path PATH/TO/PSUEDO_LABELS_OUTPUT --not_eval_mask

Phase 2: Evaluation and Inference of Instance Segmentation Models

To evaluate an instance segmentation model, e.g. ResNet-50/SOLOv2, with 8 GPUs:

bash tools/dist_test.sh configs/MALMask/solov2_r50_fpn_3x_coco_mal.py solov2_r50_fpn_3x_coco_essenco/latest.pth 8 --eval segm

To generate results of instance segmentation models, e.g. ResNet-50/SOLOv2, with 8 GPUs:

bash tools/dist_test.sh configs/MALMask/solov2_r50_fpn_3x_coco_mal.py solov2_r50_fpn_3x_coco_essenco/latest.pth 8 --format-only --options "jsonfile_prefix=work_dirs/solov2_r50_fpn_3x_coco_essenco/test-dev.json"

For more detail, please refer the documentation or github repo of mmdetection.

Phase 1: Mask Auto-labeling

Trained Weights

Mask Pseudo-labels

Phase 2: Instance Segmentation Models

COCO

F.A.Q.

It seems like MIL loss is using mask labels for training?

No, we do not use mask. Check this

I met errors during training/testing and MMCV exists in the error log, how do I do?

You have to rebuild your own docker since your nvidia driver version is different from mine and there are some customized operators in MMCV.
