Introduction

This is the official code of high-resolution representations for Semantic Segmentation. We augment the HRNet with a very simple segmentation head shown in the figure below. We aggregate the output representations at four different resolutions, and then use a 1x1 convolutions to fuse these representations. The output representations is fed into the classifier. We evaluate our methods on three datasets, Cityscapes, PASCAL-Context and LIP.

hrnet

Besides, we further combine HRNet with Object Contextual Representation and achieve higher performance on the three datasets. The code of HRNet+OCR is contained in this branch. We illustrate the overall framework of OCR in the Figure and the equivalent Transformer pipelines:

Segmentation models

The models are initialized by the weights pretrained on the ImageNet. ''Paddle'' means the results are based on PaddleCls pretrained HRNet models. You can download the pretrained models from https://github.com/HRNet/HRNet-Image-Classification. Slightly different, we use align_corners = True for upsampling in HRNet.

  1. Performance on the Cityscapes dataset. The models are trained and tested with the input size of 512x1024 and 1024x2048 respectively. If multi-scale testing is used, we adopt scales: 0.5,0.75,1.0,1.25,1.5,1.75.

Quick start

Install

  1. For LIP dataset, install PyTorch=0.4.1 following the official instructions. For Cityscapes and PASCAL-Context, we use PyTorch=1.1.0.
  2. git clone https://github.com/HRNet/HRNet-Semantic-Segmentation $SEG_ROOT
  3. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

If you want to train and evaluate our models on PASCAL-Context, you need to install details.

pip install git+https://github.com/zhanghang1989/detail-api.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI

Data preparation

Train and Test

PyTorch Version Differences

Note that the codebase supports both PyTorch 0.4.1 and 1.1.0, and they use different command for training. In the following context, we use $PY_CMD to denote different startup command.

# For PyTorch 0.4.1
PY_CMD="python"
# For PyTorch 1.1.0
PY_CMD="python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=4"

e.g., when training on Cityscapes, we use PyTorch 1.1.0. So the command

$PY_CMD tools/train.py --cfg experiments/cityscapes/seg_hrnet_ocr_w48_train_512x1024_sgd_lr1e-2_wd5e-4_bs_12_epoch484.yaml

indicates

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=4 tools/train.py --cfg experiments/cityscapes/seg_hrnet_ocr_w48_train_512x1024_sgd_lr1e-2_wd5e-4_bs_12_epoch484.yaml

Training

Just specify the configuration file for tools/train.py.

For example, train the HRNet-W48 on Cityscapes with a batch size of 12 on 4 GPUs:

$PY_CMD tools/train.py --cfg experiments/cityscapes/seg_hrnet_w48_train_512x1024_sgd_lr1e-2_wd5e-4_bs_12_epoch484.yaml

For example, train the HRNet-W48 + OCR on Cityscapes with a batch size of 12 on 4 GPUs:

$PY_CMD tools/train.py --cfg experiments/cityscapes/seg_hrnet_ocr_w48_train_512x1024_sgd_lr1e-2_wd5e-4_bs_12_epoch484.yaml

Note that we only reproduce HRNet+OCR on LIP dataset using PyTorch 0.4.1. So we recommend to use PyTorch 0.4.1 if you want to train on LIP dataset.
