Abstract

In this work, we address the task of unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for semantic segmentation in presence of multiple target domains: The objective is to train a single model that can handle all these domains at test time. Such a multi-target adaptation is crucial for a variety of scenarios that real-world autonomous systems must handle. It is a challenging setup since one faces not only the domain gap between the labeled source set and the unlabeled target set, but also the distribution shifts existing within the latter among the different target domains. To this end, we introduce two adversarial frameworks: (i) multi-discriminator, which explicitly aligns each target domain to its counterparts, and (ii) multi-target knowledge transfer, which learns a target-agnostic model thanks to a multi-teacher/single-student distillation mechanism.The evaluation is done on four newly-proposed multi-target benchmarks for UDA in semantic segmentation. In all tested scenarios, our approaches consistently outperform baselines, setting competitive standards for the novel task.

Preparation

Pre-requisites

  • Python 3.7
  • Pytorch >= 0.4.1
  • CUDA 9.0 or higher

Installation

  1. Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/valeoai/MTAF
$ cd MTAF
  1. Install OpenCV if you don't already have it:
$ conda install -c menpo opencv

  1. Install NVIDIA Apex if you don't already have it: follow the instructions on: https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex

  2. Install this repository and the dependencies using pip:

$ pip install -e <root_dir>

With this, you can edit the MTAF code on the fly and import function and classes of MTAF in other project as well.

  1. Optional. To uninstall this package, run:
$ pip uninstall MTAF

Datasets

By default, the datasets are put in <root_dir>/data. We use symlinks to hook the MTAF codebase to the datasets. An alternative option is to explicitlly specify the parameters DATA_DIRECTORY_SOURCE and DATA_DIRECTORY_TARGET in YML configuration files.

  • GTA5: Please follow the instructions here to download images and semantic segmentation annotations. The GTA5 dataset directory should have this basic structure:
<root_dir>/data/GTA5/                               % GTA dataset root
<root_dir>/data/GTA5/images/                        % GTA images
<root_dir>/data/GTA5/labels/                        % Semantic segmentation labels
...
  • Cityscapes: Please follow the instructions in Cityscape to download the images and ground-truths. The Cityscapes dataset directory should have this basic structure:
<root_dir>/data/cityscapes/                         % Cityscapes dataset root
<root_dir>/data/cityscapes/leftImg8bit              % Cityscapes images
<root_dir>/data/cityscapes/leftImg8bit/train
<root_dir>/data/cityscapes/leftImg8bit/val
<root_dir>/data/cityscapes/gtFine                   % Semantic segmentation labels
<root_dir>/data/cityscapes/gtFine/train
<root_dir>/data/cityscapes/gtFine/val
...
  • Mapillary: Please follow the instructions in Mapillary Vistas to download the images and validation ground-truths. The Mapillary Vistas dataset directory should have this basic structure:
<root_dir>/data/mapillary/                          % Mapillary dataset root
<root_dir>/data/mapillary/train                     % Mapillary train set
<root_dir>/data/mapillary/train/images
<root_dir>/data/mapillary/validation                % Mapillary validation set
<root_dir>/data/mapillary/validation/images
<root_dir>/data/mapillary/validation/labels
...
  • IDD: Please follow the instructions in IDD to download the images and validation ground-truths. The IDD Segmentation dataset directory should have this basic structure:
<root_dir>/data/IDD/                         % IDD dataset root
<root_dir>/data/IDD/leftImg8bit              % IDD images

Pre-trained models

Pre-trained models can be downloaded here and put in <root_dir>/pretrained_models

Running the code

For evaluation, execute:

$ cd <root_dir>/mtaf/scripts
$ python test.py --cfg ./configs/gta2cityscapes_mapillary_baseline_pretrained.yml
$ python test.py --cfg ./configs/gta2cityscapes_mapillary_mdis_pretrained.yml
$ python test.py --cfg ./configs/gta2cityscapes_mapillary_mtkt_pretrained.yml

Training

For the experiments done in the paper, we used pytorch 1.3.1 and CUDA 10.0. To ensure reproduction, the random seed has been fixed in the code. Still, you may need to train a few times to reach the comparable performance.

By default, logs and snapshots are stored in <root_dir>/experiments with this structure:

<root_dir>/experiments/logs
<root_dir>/experiments/snapshots

To train the multi-target baseline:

$ cd <root_dir>/mtaf/scripts
$ python train.py --cfg ./configs/gta2cityscapes_mapillary_baseline.yml

To train the Multi-Discriminator framework:

$ cd <root_dir>/mtaf/scripts
$ python train.py --cfg ./configs/gta2cityscapes_mapillary_mdis.yml
