** (2022-Aug.-17)** The optimized model for general use of our IS-Net is now released: isnet-general-use.pth (for general use, this is NOT DIS V2.0.) from (Google Drive) or (Baidu Pan 提取码:6jh2), please feel free to try it with the newly created simple inference.py code on your own datasets.

** (2022-Jul.-30)** Thank AK391 for the implementaiton of a Web Demo: Integrated into Huggingface Spaces 🤗 using Gradio. Try out the Web Demo .

Notes for official DIS group: Currently, the released DIS deep model is the academic version that was trained with DIS V1.0, which includes very few animal, human, cars, etc. So it may not work well on these targets. We will release another version for general use and test. In addition, our DIS V2.0 will cover more categories with extremely well-annotated samples. Please stay tuned.

** (2022-Jul.-17)** Our paper, code and dataset are now officially released!!! Please check our project page for more details: Project Page.

** (2022-Jul.-5)** Our DIS work is now accepted by ECCV 2022, the code and dataset will be released before July 17th, 2022. Please be aware of our updates.

Although our DIS5K V1.0 includes samples from more than 200 categories, many categories, such as human, animals, cars and so on, in real world are not included. So the current version (v1.0) of our dataset may limit the robustness of the trained models. To build the comprehensive and large-scale highly accurate dichotomous image segmentation dataset, we are building our DIS dataset V2.0. The V2.0 will be released soon. Please stay tuned.

Samples from DIS dataset V2.0.

git clone https://github.com/xuebinqin/DIS.git

conda env create -f pytorch18.yml

Or you can check the requirements.txt to configure the dependancies.

conda activate pytorch18

(a) Open train_valid_inference_main.py, set the path of your to-be-inferenced train_datasets and valid_datasets, e.g., valid_datasets=[dataset_vd]
(b) Set the hypar["mode"] to "train"
(c) Create a new folder your_model_weights in the directory saved_models and set it as the hypar["model_path"] ="../saved_models/your_model_weights" and make sure hypar["valid_out_dir"](line 668) is set to "", otherwise the prediction maps of the validation stage will be saved to that directory, which will slow the training speed down
(d) Run

python train_valid_inference_main.py

Download the pre-trained weights (for fair academic comparisons) isnet.pth from (Google Drive) or (Baidu Pan 提取码：xbfk) OR the optimized model weights isnet-general-use.pth (for general use) from (Google Drive) or (Baidu Pan 提取码:6jh2), and store them in saved_models/IS-Net

(a) Open \ISNet\inference.py and configure your input and output directories (b) Run

python inference.py

(a) Open train_valid_inference_main.py, set the path of your to-be-inferenced valid_datasets, e.g., valid_datasets=[dataset_te1, dataset_te2, dataset_te3, dataset_te4]
(b) Set the hypar["mode"] to "valid"
(c) Set the output directory of your predicted maps, e.g., hypar["valid_out_dir"] = "../DIS5K-Results-test"
(d) Run

python train_valid_inference_main.py

Set the ground truth directory gt_root and the prediction directory pred_root. To reduce the time costs for computing HCE, the skeletion of the DIS5K dataset can be pre-computed and stored in gt_ske_root. If gt_ske_root="", the HCE code will compute the skeleton online which usually takes a lot for time for large size ground truth. Then, run python hce_metric_main.py. Other metrics are evaluated based on the SOCToolbox.

Our code and evaluation metric use Apache License 2.0. The Terms of use for our DIS5K dataset is provided as DIS5K-Dataset-Terms-of-Use.pdf.

We would like to thank Dr. Ibrahim Almakky for his helps in implementing the dataloader cache machanism of loading large-size training samples and Jiayi Zhu for his efforts in re-organizing our code and dataset.
