AlignSeg: Feature-Aligned Segmentation Networks

Pytorch code for the TPAMI paper entitled AlignSeg: Feature-Aligned Segmentation Networks. This is a minimal code to run Alignseg on Cityscape dataset. Shortly afterwards, the code will be reorganized with MMSegmentation.

Visualization of the offset maps

Some visualization of offsets learned in different aggregation stages on the Cityscapes \emph{val} set. The visualizations of each sample are displayed in two rows. The image with its ground truth are given in the first column. The following 4 columns represent the offsets in four AlignFA modules, respectively. The upper row contains the offset maps $\Delta^A$ and the lower row contains the offset maps $\Delta^F$. The 1st AlignFA is closer to the input layer, and the 4th AlignFA is closer to the output layer.
