PSPNet_tensorflow

Important

Code is fine for inference. However, the training code is just for reference and might be only used for fine-tuning. If you want to train from scratch, you need to implement the Synchronize BN layer first to do large batch-size training (as described in the paper). It seems that this repo has reproduced it, you can take a look on it.

Introduction

This is an implementation of PSPNet in TensorFlow for semantic segmentation on the cityscapes dataset. We first convert weight from Original Code by using caffe-tensorflow framework.

Update:

News (2018.11.08 updated):

Now you can try PSPNet on your own image online using ModelDepot live demo!

2018/01/24:

1. Support evaluation code for ade20k dataset

2018/01/19:

1. Support inference phase for ade20k dataset using model of pspnet50 (convert weights from original author)
2. Using tf.matmul to decode label, so as to improve the speed of inference.

   2017/11/06:

   Support different input size by padding input image to (720, 720) if original size is smaller than it, and get result by cropping image in the end.

   2017/10/27:

   Change bn layer from tf.nn.batch_normalization into tf.layers.batch_normalization in order to support training phase. Also update initial model in Google Drive.

Install

Get restore checkpoint from Google Drive and put into model directory. Note: Select the checkpoint corresponding to the dataset.

Inference

To get result on your own images, use the following command:

python inference.py --img-path=./input/test.png --dataset cityscapes  

Inference time: ~0.6s

Options:

--dataset cityscapes or ade20k
--flipped-eval 
--checkpoints /PATH/TO/CHECKPOINT_DIR

Evaluation

Cityscapes

Perform in single-scaled model on the cityscapes validation datase.

ade20k

To re-produce evluation results, do following steps:

1. Download Cityscape dataset or ADE20k dataset first.
2. change data_dir to your dataset path in evaluate.py:

   'data_dir': ' = /Path/to/dataset'

3. Run the following command:

   python evaluate.py --dataset cityscapes

   List of Args:

   --dataset - ade20k or cityscapes
   --flipped-eval  - Using flipped evaluation method
   --measure-time  - Calculate inference time
