## ** (2022-Jul.-17)** Our paper, code and dataset are now officially released!!! Please check our project page for more details: [**Project Page**](https://xuebinqin.github.io/dis/index.html).<br>
** (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.
### Download: [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jOC2zK0GowBvEt03B7dGugCRDVAoeIqq/view?usp=sharing) or [Baidu Pan 提取码:rtgw](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1y6CQJYledfYyEO0C_Gejpw?pwd=rtgw)
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.
### Predicted Maps, [(Google Drive)](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FMtDLFrL6xVc41eKlLnuZWMBAErnKv0Y/view?usp=sharing), [(Baidu Pan 提取码:ph1d)](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1WUk2RYYpii2xzrvLna9Fsg?pwd=ph1d), of Our IS-Net and Other SOTAs
(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]``` <br>
(b) Set the ```hypar["mode"]``` to ```"train"``` <br>
(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 <br>
(a). Download the pre-trained weights (for fair academic comparisons only, the optimized model for engineering or common use will be released soon) ```isnet.pth``` from [(Google Drive)](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KyMpRjewZdyYfxHPYcd-ZbanIXtin0Sn/view?usp=sharing) or [(Baidu Pan 提取码:xbfk)](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1-X2WutiBkWPt-oakuvZ10w?pwd=xbfk) and store ```isnet.pth``` in ```saved_models/IS-Net``` <br>
(b) 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]``` <br>
(c) Set the ```hypar["mode"]``` to ```"valid"``` <br>
(d) Set the output directory of your predicted maps, e.g., ```hypar["valid_out_dir"] = "../DIS5K-Results-test"``` <br>
### (5) Use of our Human Correction Efforts(HCE) metric
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](https://github.com/mczhuge/SOCToolbox).
