gelbing/segmentation_models

Segmentation models with pretrained backbones. Keras and TensorFlow Keras.

Python library with Neural Networks for Image Segmentation based on Keras and TensorFlow.

The main features of this library are:

• High level API (just two lines of code to create model for segmentation)
• 4 models architectures for binary and multi-class image segmentation (including legendary Unet)
• 25 available backbones for each architecture
• All backbones have pre-trained weights for faster and better convergence
• Helpful segmentation losses (Jaccard, Dice, Focal) and metrics (IoU, F-score)

Important note

Some models of version 1.* are not compatible with previously trained models, if you have such models and want to load them - roll back with:

$ pip install -U segmentation-models==0.2.1

Quick start

Library is build to work together with Keras and TensorFlow Keras frameworks

import segmentation_models as sm
# Segmentation Models: using `keras` framework.

By default it tries to import keras, if it is not installed, it will try to start with tensorflow.keras framework. There are several ways to choose framework:

• Provide environment variable SM_FRAMEWORK=keras / SM_FRAMEWORK=tf.keras before import segmentation_models
• Change framework sm.set_framework('keras') / sm.set_framework('tf.keras')

You can also specify what kind of image_data_format to use, segmentation-models works with both: channels_last and channels_first. This can be useful for further model conversion to Nvidia TensorRT format or optimizing model for cpu/gpu computations.

import keras
# or from tensorflow import keras

keras.backend.set_image_data_format('channels_last')
# or keras.backend.set_image_data_format('channels_first')

Created segmentation model is just an instance of Keras Model, which can be build as easy as:

model = sm.Unet()

Depending on the task, you can change the network architecture by choosing backbones with fewer or more parameters and use pretrainded weights to initialize it:

model = sm.Unet('resnet34', encoder_weights='imagenet')

Change number of output classes in the model (choose your case):

# binary segmentation (this parameters are default when you call Unet('resnet34')
model = sm.Unet('resnet34', classes=1, activation='sigmoid')

# multiclass segmentation with non overlapping class masks (your classes + background)
model = sm.Unet('resnet34', classes=3, activation='softmax')

# multiclass segmentation with independent overlapping/non-overlapping class masks
model = sm.Unet('resnet34', classes=3, activation='sigmoid')

Change input shape of the model:

# if you set input channels not equal to 3, you have to set encoder_weights=None
# how to handle such case with encoder_weights='imagenet' described in docs
model = Unet('resnet34', input_shape=(None, None, 6), encoder_weights=None)

Simple training pipeline

import segmentation_models as sm

BACKBONE = 'resnet34'
preprocess_input = sm.get_preprocessing(BACKBONE)

# load your data
x_train, y_train, x_val, y_val = load_data(...)

# preprocess input
x_train = preprocess_input(x_train)
x_val = preprocess_input(x_val)

# define model
model = sm.Unet(BACKBONE, encoder_weights='imagenet')
model.compile(
    'Adam',
    loss=sm.losses.bce_jaccard_loss,
    metrics=[sm.metrics.iou_score],
)

# fit model
# if you use data generator use model.fit_generator(...) instead of model.fit(...)
# more about `fit_generator` here: https://keras.io/models/sequential/#fit_generator
model.fit(
   x=x_train,
   y=y_train,
   batch_size=16,
   epochs=100,
   validation_data=(x_val, y_val),
)

Same manipulations can be done with Linknet, PSPNet and FPN. For more detailed information about models API and use cases Read the Docs.
