ETRIS

This is an official PyTorch implementation of Bridging Vision and Language Encoders: Parameter-Efficient Tuning for Referring Image Segmentation.

News

🚩 Updates

• 🔥🔥 Our new referring image segmentation work DETRIS was accepted to AAAI 2025, which has over a 10 average IoU improvement using adapters with fewer parameters!

Overall Architecture

Preparation

1. Environment

   • PyTorch (e.g. 1.8.1+cu111)
   • Other dependencies in requirements.txt

     pip install torch==1.8.1+cu111 torchvision==0.9.1+cu111 torchaudio==0.8.1 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
     pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Datasets

   • The detailed instruction is in prepare_datasets.md

3. Pretrained weights

   • Download the pretrained weights of ResNet-50/101 and ViT-B to pretrain

     mkdir pretrain && cd pretrain
     # ResNet-50
     wget https://openaipublic.azureedge.net/clip/models/afeb0e10f9e5a86da6080e35cf09123aca3b358a0c3e3b6c78a7b63bc04b6762/RN50.pt
     # ResNet-101
     wget https://openaipublic.azureedge.net/clip/models/8fa8567bab74a42d41c5915025a8e4538c3bdbe8804a470a72f30b0d94fab599/RN101.pt
     # ViT-B
     wget https://openaipublic.azureedge.net/clip/models/5806e77cd80f8b59890b7e101eabd078d9fb84e6937f9e85e4ecb61988df416f/ViT-B-16.pt

Quick Start

To do training of ETRIS, modify the script according to your requirement and run:

bash run_scripts/train.sh

If you want to use multi-gpu training, simply modify the gpu in the run_scripts/train.sh. Please notice that you should execute this bash script under the first-level directory (the path with train.py).

To do evaluation of ETRIS, modify the script according to your requirement and run:

bash run_scripts/test.sh

If you want to visualize the results, simply modify the visualize to True in the config file.

Weights

Our model weights have already been open-sourced and can be directly downloaded from Huggingface.
