Self-supervised Augmentation Consistency
for Adapting Semantic Segmentation

License Framework

This repository contains the official implementation of our paper:

Self-supervised Augmentation Consistency for Adapting Semantic Segmentation
Nikita Araslanov and Stefan Roth
CVPR 2021. [pdf] [supp] [arXiv]

drawing

We obtain state-of-the-art accuracy of adapting semantic
segmentation by enforcing consistency across photometric
and similarity transformations. We use neither style transfer
nor adversarial training.

Installation

Requirements. To reproduce our results, we recommend Python >=3.6, PyTorch >=1.4, CUDA >=10.0. At least two Titan X GPUs (12Gb) or equivalent are required for VGG-16; ResNet-101 and VGG-16/FCN need four.

  1. create conda environment:
conda create --name da-sac
source activate da-sac
  1. install PyTorch >=1.4 (see PyTorch instructions). For example,
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
  1. install the dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. download data (Cityscapes, GTA5, SYNTHIA) and create symlinks in the ./data folder, as follows:
./data/cityscapes -> <symlink to Cityscapes>
./data/cityscapes/gtFine2/
./data/cityscapes/leftImg8bit/

./data/game -> <symlink to GTA>
./data/game/labels_cs
./data/game/images

./data/synthia  -> <symlink to SYNTHIA>
./data/synthia/labels_cs
./data/synthia/RGB

Note that all ground-truth label IDs (Cityscapes, GTA5 and SYNTHIA) should be converted to Cityscapes train IDs. The label directories in the above example (gtFine2, labels_cs) therefore refer not to the original labels, but to these converted semantic maps.

Training

Training from ImageNet initialisation proceeds in three steps:

  1. Training the baseline (ABN)
  2. Generating the weights for importance sampling
  3. Training with augmentation consistency from the ABN baseline

1. Training the baseline (ABN)

Here the input are ImageNet models available from the official PyTorch repository. We provide the links to those models for convenience.

Backbone Link
ResNet-101 resnet101-5d3b4d8f.pth (171M)
VGG-16 vgg16_bn-6c64b313.pth (528M)

By default, these models should be placed in ./models/pretrained/ (though configurable with MODEL.INIT_MODEL).

To run the training

bash ./launch/train.sh [gta|synthia] [resnet101|vgg16|vgg16fcn] base

where the first argument specifies the source domain, the second determines the network architecture. The third argument base instructs to run the training of the baseline.

If you would like to skip this step, you can use our pre-trained models:

Source domain: GTA5

Backbone Arch. IoU (val) Link MD5
ResNet-101 DeepLabv2 40.8 baseline_abn_e040.pth (336M) 9fe17[...]c11fc
VGG-16 DeepLabv2 37.1 baseline_abn_e115.pth (226M) d4ffc[...]ef755
VGG-16 FCN 36.7 baseline_abn_e040.pth (1.1G) aa2e9[...]bae53

Source domain: SYNTHIA

Backbone Arch. IoU (val) Link MD5
ResNet-101 DeepLabv2 36.3 baseline_abn_e090.pth (336M) b3431[...]d1a83
VGG-16 DeepLabv2 34.4 baseline_abn_e070.pth (226M) 3af24[...]5b24e
VGG-16 FCN 31.6 baseline_abn_e040.pth (1.1G) 5f457[...]e4b3a

Tip: You can download these files (as well as the final models below) with tools/download_baselines.sh:

cp tools/download_baselines.sh snapshots/cityscapes/baselines/
cd snapshots/cityscapes/baselines/
bash ./download_baselines.sh

2. Generating weights for importance sampling

To generate the weights you need to

  1. generate mask predictions with your baseline (see inference below);
  2. run tools/compute_image_weights.py that reads in those predictions and counts the predictions per each class.

If you would like to skip this step, you can use our weights we computed for the ABN baselines above:

Backbone Arch. Source: GTA5 Source: SYNTHIA
ResNet-101 DeepLabv2 cs_weights_resnet101_gta.data cs_weights_resnet101_synthia.data
VGG-16 DeepLabv2 cs_weights_vgg16_gta.data cs_weights_vgg16_synthia.data
VGG-16 FCN cs_weights_vgg16fcn_gta.data cs_weights_vgg16fcn_synthia.data

Tip: The bash script data/download_weights.sh will download all these importance sampling weights in the current directory.

3. Training with augmentation consistency

To train the model with augmentation consistency, we use the same shell script as in step 1, but without the argument base:

bash ./launch/train.sh [gta|synthia] [resnet101|vgg16|vgg16fcn]

Make sure to specify your baseline snapshot with RESUME bash variable set in the environment (export RESUME=...) or directly in the shell script (commented out by default).

We provide our final models for download.

VGG-16 FCN 46.8 45.8 final_e098.pth (1.6G) efb74[...]845cc

Inference and evaluation

Inference

To run single-scale inference from your snapshot, use infer_val.py. The bash script launch/infer_val.sh provides an easy way to run the inference by specifying a few variables:

# validation/training set
FILELIST=[val_cityscapes|train_cityscapes] 
# configuration used for training
CONFIG=configs/[deeplabv2_vgg16|deeplab_resnet101|fcn_vgg16]_train.yaml
# the following 3 variables effectively specify the path to the snapshot
EXP=...
RUN_ID=...
SNAPSHOT=...
# the snapshot path is defined as
# SNAPSHOT_PATH=snapshots/cityscapes/${EXP}/${RUN_ID}/${SNAPSHOT}.pth

Evaluation

Please use the Cityscapes' official evaluation tool evalPixelLevelSemanticLabeling from Cityscapes scripts for evaluating your results.
