Qualitatively evaluation a pre-trained model

Run the script predict.py.

$ python predict.py --help
usage: predict.py [-h] --architecture {frrn_a,frrn_b} --model_file MODEL_FILE
                  --cs_folder CS_FOLDER [--sample_factor SAMPLE_FACTOR]

Shows the predictions of a Full-Resolution Residual Network on the Cityscapes
validation set.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --architecture {frrn_a,frrn_b}
                        The network architecture type.
  --model_file MODEL_FILE
                        The model filename. Weights are initialized to the
                        given values if the file exists. Snapshots are stored
                        using a _snapshot_[iteration] post-fix.
  --cs_folder CS_FOLDER
                        The folder that contains the Cityscapes Dataset.
  --sample_factor SAMPLE_FACTOR
                        The sampling factor.

Train a new model

Run the train.py script.

$ python train.py --help
usage: train.py [-h] --architecture {frrn_a,frrn_b,frrn_c} --model_file
                MODEL_FILE --log_file LOG_FILE --cs_folder CS_FOLDER
                [--batch_size BATCH_SIZE]
                [--validation_interval VALIDATION_INTERVAL]
                [--iterator {uniform,weighted}] [--crop_size CROP_SIZE]
                [--learning_rate LEARNING_RATE]
                [--sample_factor SAMPLE_FACTOR]

Trains a Full-Resolution Residual Network on the Cityscapes Dataset.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --architecture {frrn_a,frrn_b}
                        The network architecture type.
  --model_file MODEL_FILE
                        The model filename. Weights are initialized to the
                        given values if the file exists. Snapshots are stored
                        using a _snapshot_[iteration] post-fix.
  --log_file LOG_FILE   The log filename. Use log_monitor.py in order to
                        monitor training progress in the terminal.
  --cs_folder CS_FOLDER
                        The folder that contains the Cityscapes Dataset.
  --batch_size BATCH_SIZE
                        The batch size.

  --crop_size CROP_SIZE
                        The size of crops to extract from the full-resolution
                        images. If 0, then now crops will be extracted.
  --learning_rate LEARNING_RATE
                        The learning rate to use.
