This is the official code of high-resolution representations for Semantic Segmentation. We augment the HRNet with a very simple segmentation head shown in the figure below. We aggregate the output representations at four different resolutions, and then use a 1x1 convolutions to fuse these representations. The output representations is fed into the classifier. We evaluate our methods on three datasets, Cityscapes, PASCAL-Context and LIP.

HRNetV2 Segmentation models are now available. All the results are reproduced by using this repo!!!

The models are initialized by the weights pretrained on the ImageNet. You can download the pretrained models from https://github.com/HRNet/HRNet-Image-Classification.

Memory and time cost comparison for semantic segmentation on PyTorch 1.0 in terms of training/inference memory and training/inference time. The numbers for training are obtained on a machine with 4 V100 GPU cards. During training, the input size is 512x1024 and the batch size is 8. The numbers for inference are obtained on a single V100 GPU card. The input size is 1024x2048.

1. Performance on the Cityscapes dataset. The models are trained and tested with the input size of 512x1024 and 1024x2048 respectively. If multi-scale testing is used, we adopt scales: 0.5,0.75,1.0,1.25,1.5,1.75.

2. Performance on the LIP dataset. The models are trained and tested with the input size of 473x473.

The models are initialized by the weights pretrained on the ImageNet. You can download the pretrained models from https://github.com/HRNet/HRNet-Image-Classification.

Performance on the Cityscapes dataset. The models are trained and tested with the input size of 512x1024 and 1024x2048 respectively. The results of other small models are obtained from Structured Knowledge Distillation for Semantic Segmentation(https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.04197).

1. Install PyTorch=1.1.0 following the official instructions
2. git clone https://github.com/HRNet/HRNet-Semantic-Segmentation $SEG_ROOT
3. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

If you want to train and evaluate our models on PASCAL-Context, you need to install details.

# PASCAL_CTX=/path/to/PASCAL-Context/
git clone https://github.com/zhanghang1989/detail-api.git $PASCAL_CTX
cd $PASCAL_CTX/PythonAPI
python setup.py install

You need to download the Cityscapes, LIP and PASCAL-Context datasets.
