2021/02/14 openseg.pytorch supports pytorch-1.7, mixed-precision, and distributed training. Based on the PaddleClas ImageNet pretrained weights, we achieve 82.78% on Cityscapes val, 59.62% on PASCAL-Context val (new SOTA) and 45.20% on COCO-Stuff val (new SOTA).
-
2020/07/15 MMSegmentation also supports our OCR. We further introduce a OCR+ that augments the original OCR with separable convolutions and a decoder head following the same manner as DeepLabv3+, which achieves a strong (single-scale evaluation) performance 81.0% on Cityscapes val set.
-
2020/07/09 OCR (Spotlight) and SegFix have been accepted by the ECCV-2020. Notably, the reseachers from Nvidia set a new state-of-the-art performance on Cityscapes leaderboard: 85.4% via combining our HRNet + OCR with a new hierarchical mult-scale attention scheme.
-
2020/04/16 We have released some of our checkpoints/logs of OCNet, OCR and SegFix in openseg.pytorch. Thanks for your patience.
-
2020/01/13 The source code for reproduced HRNet+OCR has been made public.
-
2020/01/09 "HRNet + OCR + SegFix" achieves Rank#1 on Cityscapes leaderboard with mIoU as 84.5%.
-
2020/01/07 "HRNet+OCR[Mapillary+Coarse]" currently achieves 84.26% with better Mapillary pretraining, where we pretrain the HRNet+OCR model on the original Mapillary train and achieve 50.8% on Mapillary val. Our training settings are listed as below: 500,000 iterations, batch-size 16 and crop size 1024x1024. We believe our approach can futher benefit from more expensive training settings as in the recent Panoptic-DeepLab. We can expect higher performance with our novel post-processing mechanism.
-
2019/11/28 We will release all of our openseg.pytorch code within the future week to provide a strong baseline for the community, which supports all of our OCNet series. Besides, we also provide the support of OCR on the HRNet-Semantic-Segmentation code base.
-
2019/11/20 We have updated the paper OCR, which is method of our Rank#2 entry to the leaderboard of Cityscapes. We could achieve 84.0% with a simple novel post-processing scheme.
-
2019/07/31 We have released the paper ISA, which is very easy to use and implement while being much more efficient than the conventional self-attention based OCNet or DANet.
-
2019/07/23 We achieve Rank#1 on the leaderboard of Cityscapes (with a single model) and the results will be public soon.
-
2019/07/14 We achieve 83.3116%+ on the leaderboard of Cityscapes based on single model HRNet48V2 + OCR [training w/o any tricks]. More details will be shared in our new code base openseg.pytorch
-
2019/05/27 We strongly recommend you to star our new code base openseg.pytorch and our approach achieves SOTA on all 6 benchmarks and outperforms all the previous approaches by more than 1%~2%.

Context is essential for various computer vision tasks. The state-of-the-art scene parsing methods have exploited the effectiveness of the context defined over image-level. Such context carries the mixture of objects belonging to different categories.
According to that the label of each pixel is defined as the category of the object it belongs to, we propose the Object Context that considers the objects belonging to the same category. The representation of any pixel P's object context is the aggregation of all the pixels' features that belong to the same category with P. Since it is impractical to estimate all the objects belonging to the same category in advance, we employ the self-attention method to approximate the objects by learning a pixel-wise similarity map.
We further propose the Pyramid Object Context and Atrous Spatial Pyramid Object Context to capture context of multiple scales. Based on the object context, we introduce the OCNet and show that OCNet achieves state-of-the-art performance on both Cityscapes benchmark and ADE20K benchmark.
All of our implementation is based on pytorch, OCNet can achieve competitive performance on various benchmarks such as Cityscapes and ADE20K without any bells and whistles.

The code is developed using gcc5.4.0, python 3.6+, cuda8.0+ on Ubuntu 16.04. NVIDIA GPUs ared needed. The code is tested using 4 x NVIDIA P100 GPUS cards. All the experiments on Cityscapes are tested on pytorch0.4.1.
If you can only access TITAX Pascal / TITAN-1080Ti GPUs, you are recommended to modify the parameter size within the base-oc,
self.context = nn.Sequential(
nn.Conv2d(2048, 512, kernel_size=3, stride=1, padding=1),
InPlaceABNSync(512),
BaseOC_Module(in_channels=512, out_channels=512, key_channels=256, value_channels=256,
dropout=0.05, sizes=([2]))
)
torch=0.4.1
torchvision
tensorboardX
pillow
tqdm
h5py
scikit-learn
cv2
Just install the offical pytorch with pip install torch torchvision is OK.
We mainly test all of our results based on the official pytorch 0.4.1.
We implement training, validating, testing in one script for convenience. You can achieve all the results by runing this script.
sh run_asp_oc.sh
You are expected to achieve ~79.5 mIoU on the validation set/ ~78.3 mIoU on the testing set (single scale).
You are also recommended to try the run_base_oc.sh, which can also achieve ~79.3 mIoU on the validation set / ~78.1 mIoU on the testing set (single scale).
To further improve the performance, you can employ the CriterionOhemDSN_single by setting that
USE_OHEM=True
OHEMTHRES=0.7
OHEMKEEP=100000
then you could expect to achieve ~80.4 mIoU on the validation set/ ~79.0 mIoU on the testing set (single scale).
To achieve the 81.2 on the testing set, you need to train the model with both the training set and validation set for 80,000 iterations first(achieve ~80.5 on the testing set(multiple-scale + flip)), then you need to finetune this model for 100,000 iterations with fixed learning rate(1e-4). We adopt the online hard example mining accordingly.

We find that the mIoU of the class train is unstable sometimes. For example, we run our code for 5 times, there can exist one time the mIoU for class train is 0.42 while we can get 0.75 for other 4 times.
There also exist some problems about the validation/testing set accuracy gap. For example, if you run the base-oc method for two times, you can achieve 79.3 and 79.8 mIou on the validation set separately while the testing mIou can be 78.55 and 77.69. Thus I recommend to you to run our methods for multiple times if you want to achieve good performance on the testing set while our method performs pretty robust on the validation set as the reason of the distribution gaps between the training/validation set and the testing set.
