Abstract

Although weakly-supervised semantic segmentation using only image-level labels (WSSS-IL) is potentially useful, its low performance and implementation complexity still limit its application. The main causes are (a) non-detection and (b) false-detection phenomena: (a) The class activation maps refined from existing WSSS-IL methods still only represent partial regions for large-scale objects, and (b) for small-scale objects, over-activation causes them to deviate from the object edges. We propose RecurSeed which alternately reduces non- and false detections through recursive iterations, thereby implicitly finding an optimal junction that minimizes both errors. We also propose a novel data augmentation (DA) approach called EdgePredictMix, which further expresses an object's edge by utilizing the probability difference information between adjacent pixels in combining the segmentation results, thereby compensating for the shortcomings when applying the existing DA methods to WSSS. We achieved new state-of-the-art performances on both the PASCAL VOC 2012 and MS COCO 2014 benchmarks (VOC \emph{val} $74.4%$, COCO \emph{val} $46.4%$).

Setup

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.

Installing dependencies

To install all dependencies, please run the following:

python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/lucasb-eyer/pydensecrf.git
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Preparing datasets

Please download following VOC and COCO datasets. Each dataset has a different directory structure. Therefore, we modify directory structures of all datasets for a comfortable implementation.

1. PASCAL VOC 2012

Download PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset from our [Google Drive].

2. MS COCO 2014

Download MS COCO 2014 dataset from our [Google Drive].

Create a directory "../VOC2012/" for storing the dataset and appropriately place each dataset to have the following directory structure.

    ../                               # parent directory
