• TL;DR: CrossVIS (Crossover Learning for Fast Online Video Instance Segmentation) proposes a novel crossover learning paradigm to fully leverage rich contextual information across video frames, and obtains great trade-off between accuracy and speed for video instance segmentation.

Main Results on YouTube-VIS 2019 Dataset

• We provide both checkpoints and codalab server submissions in the bellow link.

Getting Started

Installation

First, clone the repository locally:

git clone https://github.com/hustvl/CrossVIS.git

Then, create python virtual environment with conda:

conda create --name crossvis python=3.7.2
conda activate crossvis

Install torch 1.7.0 and torchvision 0.8.1:

pip install torch==1.7.0 torchvision==0.8.1

Follow the instructions to install detectron2. Please install detectron2 with commit id 9eb4831 if you have any issues related to detectron2.

Then install AdelaiDet by:

cd CrossVIS
python setup.py develop

Preparation

• Download YouTube-VIS 2019 dataset from here, the overall directory hierarchical structure is:

CrossVIS
├── datasets
│   ├── youtubevis
│   │   ├── train
│   │   │   ├── 003234408d
│   │   │   ├── ...
│   │   ├── val
│   │   │   ├── ...
│   │   ├── annotations
│   │   │   ├── train.json
│   │   │   ├── valid.json

• Download CondInst 1x pretrained model from here

Training

• Train CrossVIS R-50 with single GPU:

python tools/train_net.py --config configs/CrossVIS/R_50_1x.yaml MODEL.WEIGHTS $PATH_TO_CondInst_MS_R_50_1x

• Train CrossVIS R-50 with multi GPUs:

python tools/train_net.py --config configs/CrossVIS/R_50_1x.yaml --num-gpus $NUM_GPUS MODEL.WEIGHTS $PATH_TO_CondInst_MS_R_50_1x

Inference

python tools/test_vis.py --config-file configs/CrossVIS/R_50_1x.yaml --json-file datasets/youtubevis/annotations/valid.json --opts MODEL.WEIGHTS $PATH_TO_CHECKPOINT

The final results will be stored in results.json, just compress it with zip and upload to the codalab server to get the performance on validation set.

Acknowledgement ❤️

This code is mainly based on detectron2 and AdelaiDet, thanks for their awesome work and great contributions to the computer vision community!
