High-resolution networks (HRNets) for Semantic Segmentation

News!!!

Now, our code support Pytorch-v1.1 and the official Sync-BN. We have reproduced the cityscapes results on the new codebase. Please check the pytorch-v1.1 branch. Welcome!!!

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.

Segmentation models

HRNetV2 Segmentation models are now available. All the results are reproduced by using this repo!!!

The models are initialized by the weights pretrained on the ImageNet. You can download the pretrained models from https://github.com/HRNet/HRNet-Image-Classification.

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

Install PyTorch=0.4.1 following the official instructions
git clone https://github.com/HRNet/HRNet-Semantic-Segmentation $SEG_ROOT
Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

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

# PASCAL_CTX=/path/to/PASCAL-Context/
git clone https://github.com/zhanghang1989/detail-api.git $PASCAL_CTX
cd $PASCAL_CTX/PythonAPI
python setup.py install

Data preparation

You need to download the Cityscapes, LIP and PASCAL-Context datasets.

Train and test

Please specify the configuration file.

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

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

For example, evaluating our model on the Cityscapes validation set with multi-scale and flip testing:

python tools/test.py --cfg experiments/cityscapes/seg_hrnet_w48_train_512x1024_sgd_lr1e-2_wd5e-4_bs_12_epoch484.yaml \
