Requirement

We tested our code on:

Ubuntu 16.04, Python 2.7

numpy(1.12.1), cv2(2.4.9), PIL(4.3), matplotlib(2.1.0), cython(0.26.1), easydict

Preparation for Training

1. Download Cityscapes data (gtFine_trainvaltest.zip, leftImg8bit_trainvaltest.zip). Extract them into 'data/cityscape/'. The folder then look like below:

data/cityscape/
              |->leftImg8bit/
              |     |-> train/
              |     |-> val/
              |     L-> test/
              |->gtFine/
              |     |-> train/
              |     |-> val/
              |     L-> test/
              L->imglists/
                    |->train.lst
                    |->val.lst
                    L->test.lst

2. Download Resnet-50 pretrained model.

bash scripts/download_res50.sh

3. Build MXNet with ROIAlign operator.

cp rcnn/CXX_OP/* incubator-mxnet/src/operator/

To build MXNet from source, please refer to the tutorial.

4. Build related cython code.

make

5. Kick off training

bash scripts/train_alternate.sh

Preparation for Evaluation

1. Prepare Cityscapes evaluation scripts.

bash scripts/download_cityscapescripts.sh

2. Eval

bash scripts/eval.sh

Demo

1. Download model, available at Dropbox/BaiduYun, and place it in model folder.
2. Make sure that you have placed cityscapes data in 'data/cityscapes' folder.

bash scripts/demo.sh
