ANDA: A Novel Data Augmentation Technique Applied to Salient Object Detection

Official code for the ICAR 2019 paper "ANDA: A Novel Data Augmentation Technique Applied to Salient Object Detection"

REQUIREMENTS:

We recommend the use of conda alternatively miniconda for python environment management. For the scripts, refer to the requirements.txt in the root folder, for the PConvInpainting refer to PConvInpainting/requirements.txt.

STEP BY STEP USAGE:

• Download MSRA10K at https://mmcheng.net/msra10k/
• Run scripts/protocol.sh PATH ; e.g. MSRA10K_Imgs_GT/Imgs
• Run PConvInpainting/inpaintMSRA10K.py ; --help for parameter instructions
• Run scripts/featureRelated/computeKnn.py ; --help for parameter instructions
• Run scripts/featureRelated/anda.py ; --help for parameter instructions

A bash script for the entire process is available at scripts/run.sh

cd scripts
bash run.sh
