We manage the project using three different repositories (which are actually in the paper title). This is the main repo, see also Mask-Propagation and Scribble-to-Mask.

Framework
Requirements
We used these packages/versions in the development of this project. It is likely that higher versions of the same package will also work. This is not an exhaustive list -- other common python packages (e.g. pillow) are expected and not listed.
- PyTorch
1.7.1 - torchvision
0.8.2 - OpenCV
4.2.0 - Cython
- progressbar
- davis-interactive (https://github.com/albertomontesg/davis-interactive)
- PyQt5 for GUI
- networkx
2.4for DAVIS - gitpython for training
- gdown for downloading pretrained models
Refer to the official PyTorch guide for installing PyTorch/torchvision. The rest can be installed by:
pip install PyQt5 davisinteractive progressbar2 opencv-python networkx gitpython gdown Cython
Quick start
python download_model.pyto get all the required models.python interactive_gui.py --videoorpython interactive_gui.py --images. A video has been prepared for you atexamples/example.mp4.- If you need to label more than one object, additionally specify
--num_objects - There are instructions in the GUI. You can also watch the demo videos for some ideas.
Main Results
DAVIS/YouTube semi-supervised results
DAVIS Interactive Track
All results are generated using the unmodified official DAVIS interactive bot without saving masks (--save_mask not specified) and with an RTX 2080Ti. We follow the official protocol.

| Model | AUC-J&F | J&F @ 60s |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | 86.0 | 86.6 |
| (+) Top-k | 87.2 | 87.8 |
| (+) BL30K pretraining | 87.4 | 88.0 |
| (+) Learnable fusion | 87.6 | 88.2 |
| (+) Difference-aware fusion (full model) | 87.9 | 88.5 |
Pretrained models
python download_model.py should get you all the models that you need. (pip install gdown required.)
Training
Data preparation
Datasets should be arranged as the following layout. You can use download_datasets.py (same as the one Mask-Propagation) to get the DAVIS dataset and manually download and extract fusion_data ([OneDrive]) and BL30K.

BL30K
BL30K is a synthetic dataset rendered using Blender with ShapeNet's data. We break the dataset into six segments, each with approximately 5K videos. The videos are organized in a similar format as DAVIS and YouTubeVOS, so dataloaders for those datasets can be used directly. Each video is 160 frames long, and each frame has a resolution of 768*512. There are 3-5 objects per video, and each object has a random smooth trajectory -- we tried to optimize the trajectories greedily to minimize object intersection (not guaranteed), with occlusions still possible (happen a lot in reality). See generation/blender/generate_yaml.py for details.
We noted that using probably half of the data is sufficient to reach full performance (although we still used all), but using less than one-sixth (5K) is insufficient.
Download
You can either use the automatic script download_bl30k.py or download it manually below. Note that each segment is about 115GB in size -- 700GB in total. You are going to need ~1TB of free disk space to run the script (including extraction buffer).
Google Drive is much faster in my experience. Your mileage might vary.

Generation
- Download ShapeNet.
- Install Blender. (We used 2.82)
- Download a bunch of background and texture images. We used this repo (we specified "non-commercial reuse" in the script) and the list of keywords are provided in generation/blender/*.json.
- Generate a list of configuration files (generation/blender/generate_yaml.py).
- Run rendering on the configurations. See here (Not documented in detail, ask if you have a question)
Fusion data
We use the propagation module to run through some data and obtain real outputs to train the fusion module. See the script generate_fusion.py.
Or you can download pre-generated fusion data:
Training commands
These commands are to train the fusion module only.
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=[a,b] OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 python -m torch.distributed.launch --master_port [cccc] --nproc_per_node=2 train.py --id [defg] --stage [h]
We implemented training with Distributed Data Parallel (DDP) with two 11GB GPUs. Replace a, b with the GPU ids, cccc with an unused port number, defg with a unique experiment identifier, and h with the training stage (0/1).
The model is trained progressively with different stages (0: BL30K; 1: DAVIS). After each stage finishes, we start the next stage by loading the trained weight. A pretrained propagation model is required to train the fusion module.
One concrete example is:
Pre-training on the BL30K dataset: CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 python -m torch.distributed.launch --master_port 7550 --nproc_per_node=2 train.py --load_prop saves/propagation_model.pth --stage 0 --id retrain_s0
Main training: CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 python -m torch.distributed.launch --master_port 7550 --nproc_per_node=2 train.py --load_prop saves/propagation_model.pth --stage 1 --id retrain_s012 --load_network [path_to_trained_s0.pth]

Could you give me some suggestions? Looking forward to your reply.
