MiVOS (CVPR 2021) - Scribble To Mask

[arXiv] [Paper PDF] [Project Page]

A simplistic network that turns scribbles to mask. It supports multi-object segmentation using soft-aggregation. Don't expect SOTA results from this model!

Requirements

The package versions shown here are the ones that I used. You might not need the exact versions.

• PyTorch 1.6.0
• torchvision 0.7.0
• opencv-contrib 4.2.0
• davis-interactive (https://github.com/albertomontesg/davis-interactive)
• gitpython for training
• gdown for downloading pretrained models

Refer to the official PyTorch guide for installing PyTorch/torchvision. The rest can be installed by:

pip install opencv-contrib-python gitpython gdown

Pretrained model

Download and put the model in ./saves/. Alternatively use the provided download_model.py.

Interactive GUI

python interactive.py --image <image>

Controls:

Mouse Left - Draw scribbles
Mouse middle key - Switch positive/negative
Key f - Commit changes, clear scribbles
Key r - Clear everything
Key d - Switch between overlay/mask view
Key s - Save masks into a temporary output folder (./output/)

Known issues

The model almost always needs to focus on at least one object. It is very difficult to erase all existing masks from an image using scribbles.

Training

Datasets

1. Download and extract LVIS training set.
2. Download and extract a set of static image segmentation datasets. These are already downloaded for you if you used the download_datasets.py in Mask-Propagation.
