Semantic Co-segmentation in Videos

• This repository includes the codes for our weakly-supervised video co-segmention. Please cite our paper if you use our code and model for your research.

• This code has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and MATLAB 2015a.

Paper

Semantic Co-segmentation in Videos. Yi-Hsuan Tsai*, Guangyu Zhong* and Ming-Hsuan Yang. European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV), 2016. (* indicates equal contribution)

Installation

• Download and unzip the code.

• Install the attached caffe branch, as instructed at http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html.

• Download the CNN model for feature extraction at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73240677/CVPR16/pascal_segmentation.zip, then unzip the model folder under the caffe-cedn-dev/examples folder.

Usage

• Put your own videos in "Youtube_input" or another folder (you may need to change the corresponding paths).

• run demo_semantic_cosegment.m to generate tracklets.

• run demo_tracklets_feature.m to extract features for each tracklet.

• run demo_tracklets_submodular.m to select and merge tracklets.

Note

• Currently this package only contains the implementation of our weakly-supervised video co-segmentation part and the performacne is a bit worse than the one reported in the paper.

Citation

• Please cite our paper if you find this work is useful.
