Implementation of our ECCV 2020 paper The Devil is in Classification: A Simple Framework for Long-tail Instance Segmentation

This repo contains code of Simcal, which won the LVIS 2019 challenge. Note that it can achieve much higher tail class performance by simply change the calibration head from 2-layer fc with random initialization (2fc_rand) to 3-layer fc initialized from original model with standard training (3fc_ft), refer to paper for details. But we did not notice this during the challenge submission and used 2fc_rand, so much higher result of tail clasees on test set is expected with SimCal 3fc_ft.

TODO

  • remove and clean redundant and commented codes
  • update script for installing with pytorch 1.1.0 to have faster calibration training
  • merge mask r-cnn and htc model test file, add htc calibration code, add Props-GT experiment code

Pull requests to improve the codebase or fix bugs are welcome

Installation

Simcal is based on mmdetection, Please refer to INSTALL.md for installation and dataset preparation.

Or run the following installation script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
conda create -n simcal_mmdet python=3.7
source ~/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
conda init bash
conda activate simcal_mmdet
echo "python path"
which python
conda install pytorch==1.2.0 torchvision==0.4.0 cudatoolkit=9.2 -c pytorch
pip install cython==0.29.12 mmcv==0.2.16 matplotlib terminaltables
pip install "git+https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI"
pip install opencv-python-headless
pip install Pillow==6.1
pip install numpy==1.17.1 --no-deps
git clone https://github.com/twangnh/SimCal
cd SimCal
pip install -v -e .

To also get instance-centric AP results, please do not install official LVIS api or cocoapi with pip, as we have modified it with a local copy in the repository to additionally calculate instance centric bin AP results (i.e., AP1,AP2,AP3,AP4). We may create a pull request to update the official APIs for this purpose later.

Dataset preparation

For LVIS dataset, please arrange the data as:

SimCal
├── configs
├── data
│   ├── LVIS
│   │   ├── lvis_v0.5_train.json.zip
│   │   ├── lvis_v0.5_val.json.zip
│   │   ├── images
│   │   │   ├── train2017
│   │   │   ├── val2017

note for LVIS images, you can just create a softlink for the val2017 to point to COCO val2017

For COCO-LT (our sampled long-tail version of COCO, refer to paper for details), please download the sampled annotation file train_coco2017_LT_sampled.json and put it at data/coco/annotations/

Training (Calibration)

Calibration uses multi-gpu training to perform bi-level proposal sampling, to run calibration on a model, e.g.,

python tools/train.py configs/simcal/calibration/mask_rcnn_r50_fpn_1x_lvis_agnostic.py --use_model 3fc_ft --exp_prefix xxx --gpus 4/8

will use 3fc_ft head as described in the paper and save calibrated head ckpt with exp_prefix

note testing with LVIS can be significantly slower as max_det is 300 and det confidence threshold is 0.0

Props-GT experiment

By Props-GT experiment, we would like to emphasize that there is still large room of improvement along the direction of improving object proposal classification.

Balanced Group Softmax

We also encourage you to check our following up work Balanced Group Softmax after the LVIS challenge, (accepted by CVPR20 oral). It employs a more specific calibration approach with redesigned the softmax function, the calibration is more effective without dual-head inference, and only calibrates last layer of classification head. Code is available at https://github.com/FishYuLi/BalancedGroupSoftmax
