Network

Our overall framework(b)：

Refine Network

Requirement

Pleasure configure the environment according to the given version:

• python 3.8.5
• pytorch 1.8.0
• cudatoolkit 11.7
• torchvision 0.9.0
• tensorboardx 2.5.0
• opencv-python 4.4.0.46
• numpy 1.19.2
• timm 0.6.11

We also provide ".yaml" files for conda environment configuration, you can download it from [Link], code: mvpl, then use conda env create -f requirement.yaml to create a required environment.

Data Preprocessing

Please follow the tips to download the processed datasets and pre-trained model:

1. Download training data from [Link], code: mvpl.
2. Download testing data from [Link], code: mvpl.

Training and Testing

Training command : Please unzip the training data set to data\DUTS and unzip coarse maps of training data set to data\coarse.

python train.py

Tips: Our validation set is 100 images from the SOD dataset.

Testing command : Please unzip the testing data set to data_test.

The trained model for S-Net can be download here: [Link], code: mvpl.

python test.py ours\state_final.pt

Tips: We use Toolkit [Link] to obtain the test metrics.

Evaluation

We implement three metrics: MAE (Mean Absolute Error), F-Measure, S-Measure. We use Toolkit [Link] to obtain the test metrics.

Results

1. Qualitative results: we provide the saliency maps, you can download them from [Link], code: mvpl.
2. Quantitative results:
