Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you need a code-based DeepLabV3 reference for Cityscapes training, validation, evaluation or segmentation visualization.
Who it is for
- Computer-vision practitioners exploring semantic segmentation of street-scene imagery.
- Researchers or developers studying a Cityscapes-based DeepLabV3 training and evaluation workflow.
Documented uses
- Use the included pretrained model in the documented Cityscapes evaluation workflow.
- Train a model using the repository’s Cityscapes workflow.
- Generate and inspect predicted segmentation images.
- Review a concrete PyTorch implementation of DeepLabV3.
Requirements & limits
The repository is publicly accessible on GitHub and lists an MIT license. The documented Cityscapes dataset download requires registration with Cityscapes.
- The implementation is Python-based and uses PyTorch.
- The supplied checkpoint is described as trained on Cityscapes and Berkeley DeepDrive imagery.
- The README’s environment instructions specify Ubuntu 16.04, CUDA 9.1, NVIDIA Docker and PyTorch 0.4, which may require adaptation for other environments.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare Cityscapes data for the repository
Set up the repository’s documented Cityscapes data layout for its preprocessing and model workflows.
Before you start
- A Cityscapes account to download the dataset packages.
- The repository cloned locally.
- A shell environment with wget and unzip.
Steps
Download the Cityscapes training, validation and test annotation package and left-image package using the README’s cookie-based download instructions.
Unzip both packages.
Create deeplabv3/data/cityscapes and move the extracted gtFine and leftImg8bit directories into it.
From the repository, run python deeplabv3/utils/preprocess_data.py as directed before training or validation.
Expected outcome
The dataset is placed in the repository layout expected by the documented preprocessing workflow.
Guide limitations
- Cityscapes registration is required for the documented dataset downloads.
- The guide covers data preparation, not successful execution of training or evaluation.
