Introduction

The code and trained models of:

Learning Pixel-level Semantic Affinity with Image-level Supervision for Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation, Jiwoon Ahn and Suha Kwak, CVPR 2018 [Paper]

We have developed a framework based on AffinityNet to generate accurate segmentation labels of training images given their image-level class labels only. A segmentation network learned with our synthesized labels outperforms previous state-of-the-arts by large margins on the PASCAL VOC 2012.

*Our code was first implemented in Tensorflow at the time of CVPR 2018 submssion, and later we migrated to PyTorch. Some trivial details (optimizer, channel size, and etc.) have been changed.

Prerequisite

  • Tested on Ubuntu 16.04, with Python 3.5, PyTorch 0.4, Torchvision 0.2.1, CUDA 9.0, and 1x NVIDIA TITAN X (Pascal).
  • The PASCAL VOC 2012 development kit: You also need to specify the path ('voc12_root') of your downloaded dev kit.
  • (Optional) If you want to try with the VGG-16 based network, PyCaffe and VGG-16 ImageNet pretrained weights [vgg16_20M.caffemodel]
  • (Optional) If you want to try with the ResNet-38 based network, Mxnet and ResNet-38 pretrained weights [ilsvrc-cls_rna-a1_cls1000_ep-0001.params]

Usage

1. Train a classification network to get CAMs.

python3 train_cls.py --lr 0.1 --batch_size 16 --max_epoches 15 --crop_size 448 --network [network.vgg16_cls | network.resnet38_cls] --voc12_root [your_voc12_root_folder] --weights [your_weights_file] --wt_dec 5e-4

2. Generate labels for AffinityNet by applying dCRF on CAMs.

python3 infer_cls.py --infer_list voc12/train_aug.txt --voc12_root [your_voc12_root_folder] --network [network.vgg16_cls | network.resnet38_cls] --weights [your_weights_file] --out_cam [desired_folder] --out_la_crf [desired_folder] --out_ha_crf [desired_folder]

(Optional) Check the accuracy of CAMs.

python3 infer_cls.py --infer_list voc12/val.txt --voc12_root [your_voc12_root_folder] --network network.resnet38_cls --weights res38_cls.pth --out_cam_pred [desired_folder]

3. Train AffinityNet with the labels

python3 train_aff.py --lr 0.1 --batch_size 8 --max_epoches 8 --crop_size 448 --voc12_root [your_voc12_root_folder] --network [network.vgg16_aff | network.resnet38_aff] --weights [your_weights_file] --wt_dec 5e-4 --la_crf_dir [your_output_folder] --ha_crf_dir [your_output_folder]

4. Perform Random Walks on CAMs

python3 infer_aff.py --infer_list [voc12/val.txt | voc12/train.txt] --voc12_root [your_voc12_root_folder] --network [network.vgg16_aff | network.resnet38_aff] --weights [your_weights_file] --cam_dir [your_output_folder] --out_rw [desired_folder]
