Clustering as Attention: Unified Image Segmentation with Hierarchical Clustering

Official Implementation of HCFormer in PyTorch.
arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.09949

Installation

Requirements

• Linux with Python ≥ 3.6
• PyTorch ≥ 1.9 and torchvision that matches the PyTorch installation. Install them together at pytorch.org to make sure of this. Note, please check PyTorch version matches that is required by Detectron2.
• Detectron2: follow Detectron2 installation instructions.
• OpenCV is optional but needed by demo and visualization
• pip install -r requirements.txt

Getting Started

See Preparing Datasets for HCFormer.

See Getting Started with HCFormer.

Example results

• COCO (top row: clustering results with random colors and predicted masks, bottom row: cluster boundaries and gt masks)
• ADE20K (red regions indicate undersegmentation errors)
