Introduction

The repository contains the preprocessing code of the SBD dataset for CASENet. CASENet is a recently proposed deep network with state of the art performance on category-aware semantic edge detection. For more information about CASENet, please refer to the arXiv paper and the paper published in CVPR 2017.

Usage

Note: In this part, we assume you are in the directory $SBD_PREPROCESS_ROOT/.

Download the SBD dataset tarball to data_orig/ and untar the dataset subfolder.

wget -O ./data_orig/benchmark.tgz "http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Research/Projects/CS/vision/grouping/semantic_contours/benchmark.tgz"
tar -xvzf ./data_orig/benchmark.tgz -C ./data_orig/ benchmark_RELEASE/dataset --strip 2 && rm ./data_orig/benchmark.tgz

Run the matlab code to preprocess the data.
```
# In Matlab Command Window
run code/demo_preproc.m
```
This will perform data augmentation, and generate the .bin edge labels and the corresponding file lists that could be read by CASENet in data_proc/.
