##Paper:

Please refer to the paper:

Yingjie Yin, De Xu, Xingang Wang, and Lei Zhang, Directional Deep Embedding and Appearance Learning for Fast Video Object Segmentation, http://arxiv.org/abs/2002.06736. This paper has been accepted by IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems.

Dependencies:

python (>= 3.5 or 3.6)
numpy
pytorch (>= 0.5 probably)
torchvision
pillow
tqdm

Datasets utilized:

DAVIS

YouTubeVOS

How to setup:

1. Install dependencies
2. Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/YingjieYin/Directional-Deep-Embedding-and-Appearance-Learning-for-Fast-Video-Object-Segmentation.git

3. Download datasets
4. Set up local_config.py to point to appropriate directories for saving and reading data
5. Move the ytvos_trainval_split/ImageSets directory into your YouTubeVOS data directory. The directory structure should look like

/...some_path.../youtube_vos
-- train
---- Annotations
---- JPEGImages
-- valid
---- Annotations
---- JPEGImages
-- ImageSets
---- train.txt
---- train_joakim.txt
---- val_joakim.txt

How to run method on DAVIS and YouTubeVOS with pre-trained weights:

1. Download weights from Link：https://pan.baidu.com/s/1fcsHWNmE1e5xL5k9AJjmnw Password：y5xx （This UNITED TRAINED MODEL CAN ACHIEVE THE RESULTS ON ALL TESTING DATSETS OF DAVIS2016, DAVIS2017,YOUTUBE-VOSIN IN OUR PAPER!!）

2. Put the weights at the path pointed out by config['workspace_path'] in local_config.py.

3. Run

python3 -u runfiles/main_runfile.py --test

How to train (and test) a new model:

1. Run

python3 -u runfiles/main_runfile.py --train --test

Most settings used for training and evaluation are set in your runfiles. Each runfile should correspond to a single experiment. I supplied an example runfile.
