Official Implementation of Adaptive Early-Learning Correction for Segmentation from Noisy Annotations (CVPR 2022 Oral)
Thanks to the work of Yude Wang, the code of this repository borrows heavily from his SEAM repository, and we follw the same pipeline to verify the effectiveness of our ADELE. We use the same ImageNet pretrained ResNet38 model as SEAM, which can be downloaded from https://github.com/YudeWang/semantic-segmentation-codebase/tree/main/experiment/seamv1-pseudovoc
The code related to PASCAL VOC locates in the main folder, we provide the trained model for SEAM+ADELE in the following link
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10cTOraETOmb2jOCJ4E0m_y9lrjrA3g2u/view?usp=sharing
We use two NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 GPUs to train the model, if you encounter out of memory issue, please consider decreasing the resolution of the input image.
- Install python dependencies.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Note that we use comet to record the statistics online. Comet is similar to tensorboard, more information can found via https://www.comet.ml/site/ .
- Create softlink to your dataset. Make sure that the dataset can be accessed by
$your_dataset_path/VOCdevkit/VOC2012...
ln -s $your_dataset_path data
Inference code is the same as the official code for SEAM. Attach the Code link provide by the SEAM author: https://github.com/YudeWang/semantic-segmentation-codebase/tree/main/experiment/seamv1-pseudovoc
For the training code, an example script for ADELE would be:
python train.py \
--EXP_NAME EXP_name \
--Lambda1 1 --TRAIN_BATCHES 10 --TRAIN_LR 0.001 --mask_threshold 0.8 \
--scale_index 0 --flip yes --CRF yes \
--dict_save_scale_factor 1 --npl_metrics 0 \
--api_key API_key \
--r_threshold 0.9 --Reinit_dict yes \
--DATA_PSEUDO_GT Inital_Pseudo_Label_Location
We store some default value for the arguments in the config.py file, those value would be passed to arguments as cfg.XXX. You may change the default value in the config.py or change that via arguments in the script. It is especially important to assign the path of your initial pseudo annotation via --DATA_PSEUDO_GT or specify that in cfg.DATA_PSEUDO_GT in the config.py file. For the detailed method to obtain the initial pseudo annotation, please refer to the related method such as AffinityNet, SEAM, ICD, NSROM, etc.

The code related to SegTHOR locates in the folder SegThor, please go to the subdirectory SegThor
- Install python dependencies.
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Downlaod the SegTHOR dataset and conduct data preprocessing, resize all the image to the size of 256*256 using linear interpolation of opencv_python (INTER_LINEAR).
The details of public SegTHOR dataset can be found in this link.
In this study, we randomly assign patients in the original training set into training, validation, and test set using following scheme:
- training set: ['Patient_01', 'Patient_02', 'Patient_03', 'Patient_04', 'Patient_05', 'Patient_06', 'Patient_07', 'Patient_09', 'Patient_10', 'Patient_11', 'Patient_12', 'Patient_13', 'Patient_14', 'Patient_15', 'Patient_16', 'Patient_17', 'Patient_18', 'Patient_19', 'Patient_20', 'Patient_22', 'Patient_24', 'Patient_25', 'Patient_26', 'Patient_28', 'Patient_30', 'Patient_31', 'Patient_33', 'Patient_36', 'Patient_38', 'Patient_39', 'Patient_40']
- validation set: ['Patient_21', 'Patient_23', 'Patient_27', 'Patient_29', 'Patient_37']
- test set: ['Patient_08', 'Patient_27', 'Patient_32', 'Patient_34', 'Patient_35']
We used only slices that contain foreground class and downsampled all slices into 256 * 256 pixels using linear interpolation.
Here is the example script of ADELE:
python3 brat/train_segthor.py \
--cache-dir DIR_OF_THE_DATA \
--data-list DIR_OF_THE_DATALIST \
--save-dir MODEL_SAVE_DIR \
--model-name MODEL_NAME \
--seed 0 \
--jsd-lambda 1 \
--rho 0.8 \
--label-correction \
--tau_fg 0.7 \
--tau_bg 0.7 \
--r 0.9
where the arguments represent:
cache-dir- Parent dir of the datalist, tr.pkl, val.pkl, ts.pkl, which are the input data for training, validation and testing set.data-list- Parent dir of the data_list.pkl file, which is the list of names for the input data.save-dir- Folder, where models and results will be saved.model-name- Name of the model.seed- the random seed of the noise realization, default 0.jsd-lambda- the consistency strength, if set to 0, no consistency regularization will be applied, default 1.rho- consistency confidence threshold, this is the threshold on the confidence of model's prediction to decide which examples are applied with consistency regularizationlabel-correction- whether to conduct label correction, if set this arguments, the model will do label correction, default False.tau_fg, tau_bg- label correction confidence threshold for foreground and background, in the main paper and all the experiment, we set these two values to be the same for simplicity, default 0.7.r- curve fitting threshold to control when a specific semantic category will be corrected, default 0.9.
Here is the example script of baseline:
python3 brat/train_segthor.py \
--cache-dir DIR_OF_THE_DATA \
--data-list DIR_OF_THE_DATALIST \
--save-dir MODEL_SAVE_DIR \
--model-name MODEL_NAME \
--seed 0 \
--jsd-lambda 0
