Pytorch code for the TPAMI paper entitled AlignSeg: Feature-Aligned Segmentation Networks. This is a minimal code to run Alignseg on Cityscape dataset. Shortly afterwards, the code will be reorganized with MMSegmentation.

Python 3.7

2 x 32g GPUs (e.g. V100)

Some visualization of offsets learned in different aggregation stages on the Cityscapes \emph{val} set. The visualizations of each sample are displayed in two rows. The image with its ground truth are given in the first column. The following 4 columns represent the offsets in four AlignFA modules, respectively. The upper row contains the offset maps $\Delta^A$ and the lower row contains the offset maps $\Delta^F$. The 1st AlignFA is closer to the input layer, and the 4th AlignFA is closer to the output layer.
