Updates

  • 7 April 2020: A substantially extented version of this work can be found from here!
  • 4 April 2020: Training code is released!
  • 16 Aug 2019: The supplementary material is finalized and released!
  • 5 Aug 2019: Inference code of IndexNet Matting is released!

Highlights

  • Simple and effective: IndexNet Matting only deals with the upsampling stage but exhibits at least 16.1% relative improvements, compared to the Deep Matting baseline;
  • Memory-efficient: IndexNet Matting builds upon MobileNetV2. It can process an image with a resolution up to 1980x1080 on a single GTX 1070;
  • Easy to use: This framework also includes our re-implementation of Deep Matting and the pretrained model presented in the Adobe's CVPR17 paper.

Installation

Our code has been tested on Python 3.6.8/3.7.2 and PyTorch 0.4.1/1.1.0. Please follow the official instructions to configure your environment. See other required packages in requirements.txt.

A Quick Demo

We have included our pretrained model in ./pretrained and several images and trimaps from the Adobe Image Dataset in ./examples. Run the following command for a quick demonstration of IndexNet Matting. The inferred alpha mattes are in the folder ./examples/mattes.

python scripts/demo.py

Prepare Your Data

  1. Please contact Brian Price (bprice@adobe.com) requesting for the Adobe Image Matting dataset;
  2. Composite the dataset using provided foreground images, alpha mattes, and background images from the COCO and Pascal VOC datasets. I slightly modified the provided compositon_code.py to improve the efficiency, included in the scripts folder. Note that, since the image resolution is quite high, the dataset will be over 100 GB after composition.
  3. The final path structure used in my code looks like this:
$PATH_TO_DATASET/Combined_Dataset
├──── Training_set
│    ├──── alpha (431 images)
│    ├──── fg (431 images)
│    └──── merged (43100 images)
├──── Test_set
│    ├──── alpha (50 images)
│    ├──── fg (50 images)
│    ├──── merged (1000 images)
│    └──── trimaps (1000 images)

Inference

Run the following command to do inference of IndexNet Matting/Deep Matting on the Adobe Image Matting dataset:

python scripts/demo_indexnet_matting.py

python scripts/demo_deep_matting.py

Please note that:

  • DATA_DIR should be modified to your dataset directory;
  • Images used in Deep Matting has been downsampled by 1/2 to enable the GPU inference. To reproduce the full-resolution results, the inference can be executed on CPU, which takes about 2 days.

Here is the results of IndexNet Matting and our reproduced results of Deep Matting on the Adobe Image Dataset:

Methods Remark #Param. GFLOPs SAD MSE Grad Conn Model
Deep Matting Paper -- -- 54.6 0.017 36.7 55.3 --
Deep Matting Re-implementation 130.55M 32.34 55.8 0.018 34.6 56.8 Google Drive (522MB)
IndexNet Matting Ours 8.15M 6.30 45.8 0.013 25.9 43.7 Included
  • The original paper reported that there were 491 images, but the released dataset only includes 431 images. Among missing images, 38 of them were said double counted, and the other 24 of them were not released. As a result, we at least use 4.87% fewer training data than the original paper. Thus, the small differerce in performance should be normal.
  • The evaluation code (Matlab code implemented by the Deep Image Matting's author) placed in the ./evaluation_code folder is used to report the final performance for a fair comparion. We have also implemented a python version. The numerial difference is subtle.

Training

Run the following command to train IndexNet Matting:

sh train.sh
  • --data-dir should be modified to your dataset directory.
  • I was able to train the model on a single GTX 1080ti (12 GB). The training takes about 5 days. The current bottleneck appears to be the dataloader.
