Implementation of SegNet: A Deep Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Architecture for Semantic Pixel-Wise Labelling

Caffe SegNet

This is a modified version of Caffe which supports the SegNet architecture

As described in SegNet: A Deep Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Architecture for Image Segmentation Vijay Badrinarayanan, Alex Kendall and Roberto Cipolla [http://arxiv.org/abs/1511.00561]

Getting Started with Example Model and Webcam Demo

If you would just like to try out a pretrained example model, then you can find the model used in the SegNet webdemo and a script to run a live webcam demo here: https://github.com/alexgkendall/SegNet-Tutorial

For a more detailed introduction to this software please see the tutorial here: http://mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/projects/segnet/tutorial.html

Dataset

Prepare a text file of space-separated paths to images (jpegs or pngs) and corresponding label images alternatively e.g. /path/to/im1.png /another/path/to/lab1.png /path/to/im2.png /path/lab2.png ...

Label images must be single channel, with each value from 0 being a separate class. The example net uses an image size of 360 by 480.

Net specification

Example net specification and solver prototext files are given in examples/segnet. To train a model, alter the data path in the data layers in net.prototxt to be your dataset.txt file (as described above).

In the last convolution layer, change num_output to be the number of classes in your dataset.

Training

In solver.prototxt set a path for snapshot_prefix. Then in a terminal run ./build/tools/caffe train -solver ./examples/segnet/solver.prototxt
