About

Official Code for Segment Any Events via Weighted Adaptation of Pivotal Tokens [📕Paper]. This paper delves into the nuanced challenge of tailoring the Segment Anything Models (SAMs) for integration with event data, with the overarching objective of attaining robust and universal object segmentation within the event-centric domain.

Getting Started

Installation

Clone the repository locally:

pip install git+https://github.com/happychenpipi/EventSAM.git

Create and activate a conda environment and install the required packages:

conda create -n eventsam python=3.8
conda activate eventsam
bash install_eventsam.sh

Data Preparation

In this work, we collected a large-scale RGB-Event dataset for event-centric segmentation, from current available pixel-level aligned datasets (VisEvent and COESOT), namely RGBE-SEG. To explore the zero-shot performance of our method, we showed more segmentation results on MVSEC, DDD17 and DSEC datasets. In addition, we also provide corresponding groundtruth masks or prediction results for comparison. Please download these data with the link below and put in ./data.

Training

First download a pre-trained model checkpoint (e.g. sam_vit_b.pth) SAM and put in ./pretrained. Then the model can be used as teacher for rgb-event knowledge distillation:

python ./event_encoder/train.py

Pre-trained Model

Pre-trained EventSAM model (e.g. rgbe_encoder.pth) needs to be downloaded and put in ./checkpoints.

Evaluation

Predict the segment masks of event images:

python ./evaluate/predict_mask.py

Calculate metrics of predicted masks:

python ./evaluate/calculate_metric.py

Visualization

EventSAM&LLM

To further validate the strong zero-shot object recognition ability of our event-adapt SAM. We integrate it with a vision-language object segmentation framework LISA. Through this, we could further unlock the rich semantic inherent in SAM, for interactive universal object segmentation with Event data. There are some visualizations.
