Abstract

Semantic segmentation is a key problem for many computer vision tasks. While approaches based on convolutional neural networks constantly break new records on different benchmarks, generalizing well to diverse testing environments remains a major challenge. In numerous real world applications, there is indeed a large gap between data distributions in train and test domains, which results in severe performance loss at run-time. In this work, we address the task of unsupervised domain adaptation in semantic segmentation with losses based on the entropy of the pixel-wise predictions. To this end, we propose two novel, complementary methods using (i) an entropy loss and (ii) an adversarial loss respectively. We demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in semantic segmentation on two challenging synthetic-2-real set-ups and show that the approach can also be used for detection.

Demo

Preparation

Pre-requisites

  • Python 3.7
  • Pytorch >= 0.4.1
  • CUDA 9.0 or higher

Installation

  1. Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/valeoai/ADVENT
$ cd ADVENT
  1. Install OpenCV if you don't already have it:
$ conda install -c menpo opencv
  1. Install this repository and the dependencies using pip:
$ pip install -e <root_dir>

With this, you can edit the ADVENT code on the fly and import function and classes of ADVENT in other project as well.

  1. Optional. To uninstall this package, run:
$ pip uninstall ADVENT

You can take a look at the Dockerfile if you are uncertain about steps to install this project.

Datasets

By default, the datasets are put in <root_dir>/data. We use symlinks to hook the ADVENT codebase to the datasets. An alternative option is to explicitlly specify the parameters DATA_DIRECTORY_SOURCE and DATA_DIRECTORY_TARGET in YML configuration files.

  • GTA5: Please follow the instructions here to download images and semantic segmentation annotations. The GTA5 dataset directory should have this basic structure:
<root_dir>/data/GTA5/                               % GTA dataset root
<root_dir>/data/GTA5/images/                        % GTA images
<root_dir>/data/GTA5/labels/                        % Semantic segmentation labels
...
  • Cityscapes: Please follow the instructions in Cityscape to download the images and validation ground-truths. The Cityscapes dataset directory should have this basic structure:
<root_dir>/data/Cityscapes/                         % Cityscapes dataset root
<root_dir>/data/Cityscapes/leftImg8bit              % Cityscapes images
<root_dir>/data/Cityscapes/leftImg8bit/val
<root_dir>/data/Cityscapes/gtFine                   % Semantic segmentation labels
<root_dir>/data/Cityscapes/gtFine/val
...

Pre-trained models

Pre-trained models can be downloaded here and put in <root_dir>/pretrained_models

Running the code

For evaluation, execute:

$ cd <root_dir>/advent/scripts
$ python test.py --cfg ./configs/advent_pretrained.yml
$ python test.py --cfg ./configs/minent_pretrained.yml
$ python test.py --cfg ./configs/advent+minent.yml

Training

For the experiments done in the paper, we used pytorch 0.4.1 and CUDA 9.0. To ensure reproduction, the random seed has been fixed in the code. Still, you may need to train a few times to reach the comparable performance.

By default, logs and snapshots are stored in <root_dir>/experiments with this structure:

<root_dir>/experiments/logs
<root_dir>/experiments/snapshots

To train AdvEnt:

$ cd <root_dir>/advent/scripts
$ python train.py --cfg ./configs/advent.yml
$ python train.py --cfg ./configs/advent.yml --tensorboard         % using tensorboard

To train MinEnt:

$ python train.py --cfg ./configs/minent.yml
$ python train.py --cfg ./configs/minent.yml --tensorboard         % using tensorboard

Testing

To test AdvEnt:

$ cd <root_dir>/advent/scripts
$ python test.py --cfg ./configs/advent.yml

To test MinEnt:

$ python test.py --cfg ./configs/minent.yml
