Using fully convolutional networks for semantic segmentation with caffe for the cityscapes dataset

Using fully convolutional networks for semantic segmentation (Shelhamer et al.) with caffe for the cityscapes dataset

How to get started

• Download the cityscapes dataset and the vgg-16-layer net
• Modify the images in the dataset with cut_images.py or downscale_images.py for less resource demanding training and evaluation
• Create the 32 pixel stride net with net_32.py
• Modify the paths in train.txt and val.txt (first line: path to training/validation images, second line: path to annotations)
• Start training with solve_start.py
• Run evaluate_models.py to evaluate your model or create_eval_images.py to create images with pixel label ids
