Weakly-supervised semantic segmentation (WSS) ensures high-quality segmentation with limited data and excels when employed as input seed masks for large-scale vision models such as Segment Anything. However, WSS faces challenges related to minor classes since those are overlooked in images with adjacent multiple classes, a limitation originating from the overfitting of traditional expansion methods like Random Walk. We first address this by employing unsupervised and weakly-supervised feature maps instead of conventional methodologies, allowing for hierarchical mask enhancement. This method distinctly categorizes higher-level classes and subsequently separates their associated lower-level classes, ensuring all classes are correctly restored in the mask without losing minor ones. Our approach, validated through extensive experimentation, significantly improves WSS across five benchmarks (VOC: 79.8%, COCO: 53.9%, Context: 49.0%, ADE: 32.9%, Stuff: 37.4%), reducing the gap with fully supervised methods by over 84% on the VOC validation set.
Setting up for this project involves installing dependencies and preparing datasets. The code is tested on Ubuntu 20.04 with NVIDIA GPUs and CUDA installed.
To install all dependencies, please run the following:
pip install -U "ray[default]"
pip install git+https://github.com/lucasb-eyer/pydensecrf.git
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
or reproduce our results using docker.
docker build -t dhr_pytorch:v1.13.1 .
docker run --gpus all -it --rm \
--shm-size 32G --volume="$(pwd):$(pwd)" --workdir="$(pwd)" \
dhr_pytorch:v1.13.1
Please download following VOC, COCO, Context, ADE, and COCO-Stuff datasets. Each dataset has a different directory structure. Therefore, we modify directory structures of all datasets for a comfortable implementation.
Download PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset from our [Google Drive].
Download MS COCO 2014 dataset from our [Google Drive].
Download Pascal Context dataset from our [Google Drive].
Download ADE 2016 dataset from our [Google Drive].
Download COCO-Stuff dataset from our [Google Drive].
Download [all results] and [the reproduced project] for a fair comparison with WSS.
Create a directory "../VOC2012/" for storing the dataset and appropriately place each dataset to have the following directory structure.
