MSANet: Multi-Similarity and Attention Guidance for Boosting Few-Shot Segmentation

Dependencies

• Python 3.9
• PyTorch 1.11.0
• cuda 11.0
• torchvision 0.8.1
• tensorboardX 2.14

Datasets

• PASCAL-5ⁱ: VOC2012 + SBD

• COCO-20ⁱ: COCO2014

  Download the data and put them into the MSANet/lists directory.

Models

• Download the pre-trained backbones from here and put them into the MSANet/initmodel directory.
• Download our trained base learners from Drive and put them under initmodel/PSPNet.
• We provide all trained MSANet models for performance evaluation. Backbone: VGG16 & ResNet50; Dataset: PASCAL-5ⁱ & COCO-20ⁱ; Setting: 1-shot & 5-shot.

Scripts

• Change configuration and add weight path to .yaml files in MSHNet/config , then run the test.py file for testing.

Performance
