PseCo (ECCV 2022)

PseCo: Pseudo Labeling and Consistency Training for Semi-Supervised Object Detection

Gang Li, Xiang Li, Yujie Wang, Yichao Wu, Ding Liang, Shanshan Zhang.

This repo is the official implementation of ECCV2022 paper "PseCo: Pseudo Labeling and Consistency Training for Semi-Supervised Object Detection". PseCo delves into two key techniques of semi-supervised learning (e.g., pseudo labeling and consistency training) for SSOD, and integrate object detection properties into them.

🧪Main Results

Partial Labeled Data

Following the common practice, all experimental results are averaged on 5 different data folds.

1% labeled data

2% labeled data

5% labeled data

10% labeled data

Full Labeled Data

➡️Usage

Since this repo is built on the Soft Teacher, some setup instructions are cloned from it.

Requirements

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Anaconda3 with python=3.6
• Pytorch=1.9.0
• mmdetection=2.16.0+fe46ffe
• mmcv=1.3.9

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt
cd thirdparty/mmdetection && pip install -e .
cd ../.. && pip install -e .

Data Preparation

• Download the COCO dataset
• Execute the following command to generate data set splits:

# YOUR_DATA should be a directory contains coco dataset.
# For eg.:
# YOUR_DATA/
#  coco/
#     train2017/
#     val2017/
#     unlabeled2017/
#     annotations/
ln -s ${YOUR_DATA} data
bash tools/dataset/prepare_coco_data.sh conduct

For concrete instructions of what should be downloaded, please refer to tools/dataset/prepare_coco_data.sh line 11-24

Training

• To train model on the partial labeled data setting:

For 5% and 10% labelling ratios:

bash tools/dist_train_partially_labeled.sh

While for 1% and 2% labelling ratios, half of training iterations are enough:

bash tools/dist_train_partially_labeled_90k_iter.sh

• To train model on the full labeled data setting:

bash tools/dist_train_fully_labeled.sh 

All experiments are trained on 8 GPUs by default.

Evaluation

bash tools/test.sh

Please specify your config and checkpoint path in the tools/test.sh.

🧱To-do List

• Release PseCo codes.
• Apply PseCo to the one-stage detector.
• Release codes of our latest semi-supervised object detection method: DTG.
