vedaseg

vedaseg is an open source semantic segmentation toolbox based on PyTorch.

Features

  • Modular Design

    We decompose the semantic segmentation framework into different components. The flexible and extensible design make it easy to implement a customized semantic segmentation project by combining different modules like building Lego.

  • Support of several popular frameworks

    The toolbox supports several popular semantic segmentation frameworks out of the box, e.g. DeepLabv3+, DeepLabv3, U-Net, PSPNet, FPN, etc.

  • High efficiency

    Multi-GPU data parallelism & distributed training.

  • Multi-Class/Multi-Label segmentation

    We implement multi-class and multi-label segmentation(where a pixel can belong to multiple classes).

  • Acceleration and deployment

    Models can be accelerated and deployed with TensorRT.

Prepare data

VOC data

Download Pascal VOC 2012 and Pascal VOC 2012 augmented (you can get details at Semantic Boundaries Dataset and Benchmark), resulting in 10,582 training images(trainaug), 1,449 validatation images.

cd ${vedaseg_root}
mkdir ${vedaseg_root}/data
cd ${vedaseg_root}/data

wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2012/VOCtrainval_11-May-2012.tar
wget http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Research/Projects/CS/vision/grouping/semantic_contours/benchmark.tgz

tar xf VOCtrainval_11-May-2012.tar
tar xf benchmark.tgz

python ../tools/encode_voc12_aug.py
python ../tools/encode_voc12.py

mkdir VOCdevkit/VOC2012/EncodeSegmentationClass
#cp benchmark_RELEASE/dataset/encode_cls/* VOCdevkit/VOC2012/EncodeSegmentationClass
(cd benchmark_RELEASE/dataset/encode_cls; cp * ${vedaseg_root}/data/VOCdevkit/VOC2012/EncodeSegmentationClass)
#cp VOCdevkit/VOC2012/EncodeSegmentationClassPart/* VOCdevkit/VOC2012/EncodeSegmentationClass
(cd VOCdevkit/VOC2012/EncodeSegmentationClassPart; cp * ${vedaseg_root}/data/VOCdevkit/VOC2012/EncodeSegmentationClass)

comm -23 <(cat benchmark_RELEASE/dataset/{train,val}.txt VOCdevkit/VOC2012/ImageSets/Segmentation/train.txt | sort -u) <(cat VOCdevkit/VOC2012/ImageSets/Segmentation/val.txt | sort -u) > VOCdevkit/VOC2012/ImageSets/Segmentation/trainaug.txt

To avoid tedious operations, you could save the above linux commands as a shell file and execute it.

COCO data

Download the COCO-2017 dataset.

cd ${vedaseg_root}
mkdir ${vedaseg_root}/data
cd ${vedaseg_root}/data
mkdir COCO2017 && cd COCO2017
wget -c http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2017.zip
unzip train2017.zip && rm train2017.zip
wget -c http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/val2017.zip
unzip val2017.zip &&  rm val2017.zip
wget -c http://images.cocodataset.org/annotations/annotations_trainval2017.zip
unzip annotations_trainval2017.zip && rm annotations_trainval2017.zip

Train

  1. Config

Modify configuration files in configs/ according to your needs(e.g. configs/voc_unet.py).

The major configuration difference between single-label and multi-label training lies in: nclasses, multi_label, metricsand criterion. You can take configs/coco_multilabel_unet.py as a reference. Currently, multi-label training is only supported in COCO data format.

  1. Ditributed training

    train pspnet using GPUs with gpu_id 0, 1, 2, 3

    ./tools/dist_train.sh configs/voc_pspnet.py "0, 1, 2, 3"

  2. Non-distributed training

    python tools/train.py configs/voc_unet.py

Snapshots and logs by default will be generated at ${vedaseg_root}/workdir/name_of_config_file(you can specify workdir in config files).

Test

  1. Config

Modify configuration as you wish(e.g. configs/voc_unet.py).

  1. Ditributed testing

    test pspnet using GPUs with gpu_id 0, 1, 2, 3

    ./tools/dist_test.sh configs/voc_pspnet.py path/to/checkpoint.pth "0, 1, 2, 3"

  2. Non-distributed testing

    python tools/test.py configs/voc_unet.py path/to/checkpoint.pth

Inference

  1. Config

Modify configuration as you wish(e.g. configs/voc_unet.py).

  1. Run

    visualize the results in a new window

    python tools/inference.py configs/voc_unet.py checkpoint_path image_file_path --show

    save the visualization results in folder which named with image prefix, default under folder './result/'

    python tools/inference.py configs/voc_unet.py checkpoint_path image_file_path --out folder_name

Deploy

  1. Convert to ONNX

Firstly, install volksdep following the official instructions.

Then, run the following code to convert PyTorch to ONNX. The input shape format is CxHxW. If you need the ONNX model with dynamic input shape, please add --dynamic_shape in the end.

python tools/torch2onnx.py configs/voc_unet.py weight_path out_path --dummy_input_shape 3,513,513 --opset_version 11

Here are some known issues:

  • Currently PSPNet model is not supported because of the unsupported operation AdaptiveAvgPool2d.
  • Default ONNX opset version is 9 and PyTorch Upsample operation is only supported with specified size, nearest mode and align_corners being None. If bilinear mode and align_corners are wanted, please add --opset_version 11 when using torch2onnx.py.
  1. Inference SDK

Firstly, install flexinfer and see the example for details.
