An unofficial personal implementation of UM-Adapt, specifically to tackle joint estimation of panoptic segmentation and depth prediction for autonomous driving datasets.

Last update: Nov 25, 2022

Overview

Semisupervised Multitask Learning

This repository is an unofficial and slightly modified implementation of UM-Adapt[1] using PyTorch.

This code primarily deals with the tasks of sematic segmentation, instance segmentation, depth prediction learned in a multi-task setting (with a shared encoder) on a synthetic dataset and then adapted to another dataset with a domain shift. Specifically for this implementation the aim is to learn the three tasks on the Cityscapes Dataset, then adapt and evaluate performance in a fully unsupervised or a semi-supervised setting on the IDD Dataset.

The architecture used for the semantic and instance segmentation model is taken from Panoptic Deeplab[2]. While a choice for the depth decoder is offered between BTS[3] and FCRN-Depth[4].

Usage

The following commands can be used to run the codebase, please make sure to see the respective papers for more details.

To train the base encoder on the Cityscapes (or any other dataset with appropriate modifications) use the following command. Additional flags can also be set as required:

python base_trainer.py --name BaseRun --cityscapes_dir /path/to/cityscapes
Then train the CCR Regularizer as proposed in UM-Adapt with the following command:

python ccr_trainer.py --base_name BaseRun --cityscapes_dir /path/to/cityscapes --hed_path /path/to/pretrained/HED-Network
Unsupervised adaptation to IDD can now be performed using:

python idd_adapter.py --name AdaptIDD --base_name BaseRun --cityscapes_dir /path/to/cityscapes --idd_dir /path/to/idd --hed_path /path/to/pretrained/HED-Network
Further optional semi-supervised fine-tuning can be done using:

python idd_supervised.py --name SupervisedIDD --base_name BaseRun --idd_name AdaptIDD --idd_epoch 10 --idd_dir /path/to/idd --hed_path /path/to/pretrained/HED-Network --supervised_pct 0.5

The code can generally be modified to suit any dataset as required, the base architectures of different decoders as well as the shared encoders can also be altered as needed.
