`Concealed Object Detection (IEEE TPAMI)`

PyTorch implementation of our extended model, termed as Search and Identification Network (SINet-V2).

Authors: Deng-Ping Fan, Ge-Peng Ji, Ming-Ming Cheng & Ling Shao.

1. Features

Introduction. This repository contains the source code, prediction results, and evaluation toolbox of our Search and Identification Network, also called SINet-V2 (arXiv / SuppMaterial / ProjectPage) , which are the journal extension version of our paper SINet (github / pdf) published at CVPR-2020.
Highlights. Compared to our conference version, we achieve new SOTA in the field of COD via the two well-elaborated sub-modules, including neighbor connection decoder (NCD) and group-reversal attention (GRA). Please refer to our paper for more details.

3. Overview

Figure 1: Task relationship. One of the most popular directions in computer vision is generic object detection. Note that generic objects can be either salient or camouflaged; camouflaged objects can be seen as difficult cases of generic objects. Typical generic object detection tasks include semantic segmentation and panoptic segmentation (see Fig. 2 b).

Figure 2: Given an input image (a), we present the ground-truth for (b) panoptic segmentation (which detects generic objects including stuff and things), (c) salient instance/object detection (which detects objects that grasp human attention), and (d) the proposed camouflaged object detection task, where the goal is to detect objects that have a similar pattern (e.g., edge, texture, or color) to the natural habitat. In this case, the boundaries of the two butterflies are blended with the bananas, making them difficult to identify. This task is far more challenging than the traditional salient object detection or generic object detection.

4. Proposed Framework

4.1. Training/Testing

The training and testing experiments are conducted using PyTorch with a single GeForce RTX TITAN GPU of 24 GB Memory.

Note that our model also supports low memory GPU, which means you should lower the batch size.

Prerequisites:

Note that SINet-V2 is only tested on Ubuntu OS with the following environments. It may work on other operating systems (i.e., Windows) as well but we do not guarantee that it will.
- Creating a virtual environment in terminal: conda create -n SINet python=3.6.
- Installing necessary packages: PyTorch > 1.1, opencv-python
Prepare the data:
- downloading testing dataset and move it into ./Dataset/TestDataset/, which can be found in Google Drive.
- downloading training/validation dataset and move it into ./Dataset/TrainValDataset/, which can be found in Google Drive
- downloading pretrained weights and move it into ./snapshot/SINet_V2/Net_epoch_best.pth, which can be found in this download link (Google Drive).
- downloading Res2Net weights on ImageNet dataset download link (Google Drive).
Training Configuration:
- Assigning your costumed path, like --train_save and --train_path in MyTrain_Val.py.
- Just enjoy it via run python MyTrain_Val.py in your terminal.
Testing Configuration:
- After you download all the pre-trained model and testing dataset, just run MyTesting.py to generate the final prediction map: replace your trained model directory (--pth_path).
- Just enjoy it!

3.2 Evaluating your trained model:

One-key evaluation is written in MATLAB code (link), please follow this the instructions in ./eval/main.m and just run it to generate the evaluation results in ./res/. The complete evaluation toolbox (including data, map, eval code, and res): link.

3.3 Pre-computed maps:

They can be found in download link(Pytorch / Jittor) on four testing dataset, including CHAMELEON, CAMO, COD10K, NC4K.
