Introduction

This project contains the code (Note: The code is test in the environment with python=3.6, cuda=9.0, PyTorch-0.4.1, also support Pytorch-0.4.1+) for: LEDNet: A Lightweight Encoder-Decoder Network for Real-time Semantic Segmentation by Yu Wang.

The extensive computational burden limits the usage of CNNs in mobile devices for dense estimation tasks, a.k.a semantic segmentation. In this paper, we present a lightweight network to address this problem, namely **LEDNet**, which employs an asymmetric encoder-decoder architecture for the task of real-time semantic segmentation.More specifically, the encoder adopts a ResNet as backbone network, where two new operations, channel split and shuffle, are utilized in each residual block to greatly reduce computation cost while maintaining higher segmentation accuracy. On the other hand, an attention pyramid network (APN) is employed in the decoder to further lighten the entire network complexity. Our model has less than 1M parameters, and is able to run at over 71 FPS on a single GTX 1080Ti GPU card. The comprehensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art results in terms of speed and accuracy trade-off on Cityscapes dataset. and becomes an effective method for real-time semantic segmentation tasks.

Training-LEDNet

  • For help on the optional arguments you can run: python main.py -h

  • By default, we assume you have downloaded the cityscapes dataset in the ./data/cityscapes dir.

  • To train LEDNet using the train/main.py script the parameters listed in main.py as a flag or manually change them.

python main.py --savedir logs --model lednet --datadir path/root_directory/  --num-epochs xx --batch-size xx ...

Resuming-training-if-decoder-part-broken

  • for help on the optional arguments you can run: python main.py -h
python main.py --savedir logs --name lednet --datadir path/root_directory/  --num-epochs xx --batch-size xx --decoder --state "../save/logs/model_best_enc.pth.tar"...

Testing

  • the trained models of training process can be found at here. This may not be the best one, you can train one from scratch by yourself or Fine-tuning the training decoder with model encoder pre-trained on ImageNet, For instance
more details refer ./test/README.md

Tips

  • Limited by GPU resources, the project results need to be further improved...
  • It is recommended to pre-train Encoder on ImageNet and then Fine-turning Decoder part. The result will be better.
