Introduction

DeepLab is a series of image semantic segmentation models, whose latest version, i.e. v3+, proves to be the state-of-art. Its major contribution is the use of atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) operation at the end of the encoder. While the model works extremely well, its open source code is hard to read (at least from my personal perspective). Here we re-implemented DeepLab v3, the earlier version of v3+ (which only additionally employs the decoder architecture), in a much simpler and more understandable way.

Download Dataset

Download and extract VOC2012 dataset, SBD dataset, and pretrained models to designated directories.

$ python download.py --help
usage: download.py [-h] [--downloads_dir DOWNLOADS_DIR] [--data_dir DATA_DIR]
                   [--pretrained_models_dir PRETRAINED_MODELS_DIR]
                   [--pretrained_models PRETRAINED_MODELS [PRETRAINED_MODELS ...]]

Download DeepLab semantic segmentation datasets and pretrained backbone
models.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --downloads_dir DOWNLOADS_DIR
                        Downloads directory
  --data_dir DATA_DIR   Data directory
  --pretrained_models_dir PRETRAINED_MODELS_DIR
                        Pretrained models directory
  --pretrained_models PRETRAINED_MODELS [PRETRAINED_MODELS ...]
                        Pretrained models to download: resnet_50, resnet_101,
                        mobilenet_1.0_224

For example, to download and extract datasets and models into directories specified:

$ python download.py --downloads_dir ./downloads --data_dir ./data --pretrained_models_dir ./models/pretrained --pretrained_models resnet_50 resnet_101 mobilenet_1.0_224

For simplicity, please just run the following command in terminal:

$ python download.py

                        Random seed for model training.

For simplicity, please run the following command in terminal:

$ python train.py

With learning rate of 1e-5, the mIOU could be greater 0.7 after 20 epochs, which is comparable to the test statistics of DeepLab v3 in the publication.

Demos

To show some demos, please run the following command in terminal:

$ python test_demo.py
Image Label Prediction
Image Label Prediction
Image Label Prediction
Image Label Prediction

Custom Demo

Just put some JPG-format images into demo_dir and run the following command in the terminal.

$ python test_any_image.py

Results will be written into same folder. Make sure that proper model trained and a checkpoint is saved in models_dir. See the script for details.
