Semantic Soft Segmentation, ACM SIGGRAPH 2018

This repository includes the semantic feature generation approach presented in

Yagiz Aksoy, Tae-Hyun Oh, Sylvain Paris, Marc Pollefeys and Wojciech Matusik, "Semantic Soft Segmentation", ACM Transactions on Graphics (Proc. SIGGRAPH), 2018 

The spectral segmentation implementation can be found [here].

Please refer to the [project page] for more information.

Note that only the feature generator is presented in this repository and the training code is not included.

Requirements

Python 3.6, TensorFlow >= 1.4 and other common packages listed in requirements.txt.

The code has been tested on {Linux Ubuntu 16.04, TensorFlow-GPU 1.4} and {Windows 10, TensorFlow-GPU 1.8}.

Installation

1. Install dependencies

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

2. Clone or download this repository.
3. Download the pre-trained model.
4. Extract the model and put the extracted "model" folder into the folder where the repository is cloned.
   • e.g., If the repository is cloned at "/project/sss", then move the model to be "/project/sss/model")
5. Run "run_extract_feat.sh", which will process sample images in the "samples" folder. If you want to run your own images, notice that image files should be the PNG formats.

Notes

At this point, only PNG image format is supported at the image loader.

Credits

The part of the base codes (the tools in the "deeplab_resnet" directory) are borrowed from (Re-)implementation of DeepLab-ResNet-TensorFlow Likewise, our code (the tools in "kaffe" directory) is benefited from Caffe to TensorFlow

Also, our architecture is implemented on top of the base architecture, DeepLab-ResNet-101.
