Cityscapes dataset preparation

[ruinianxu]

Hey,

First of all, I appreciate opensourcing the code. Since I am not familiar with Cityscapes, I am stuck at preparations of dataset. I have several questions. It will be great if you could help me with them.

1. After downloading leftImg8bit_trainvaltest.zip and running python data/make_hdf5.py [--images-path] [--outdir] as mentioned in ACDRNet, I am stuch at the step of python data/generate_cityscapes_instances.py [--outdir] [--outfile] [--min-area]. Does this step require cityscapes_final_v5 annotatio?
2. What is the purpose of getting cityscapes_final_v5 annotation from PolygonRNN++? It seems their server is down and the signup request can't be submitted.

1. yes, I think so (I don't fully remember their instructions)
2. I don't remember exactly what is there, but this is important for the data preparation, I hope the servers will be up again, because I don't think I can publish it myself
