Unable to reproduce panoptic segmentation results

[Ze-Yang]

I ran the script as shown below. Unfortunately, I can only get PQ 30.28 vs. reported PQ 36.7 for 100-50. Could you please advise if anything wrong with my configs? Thanks.

Modifications:

• CONT.DIST.KD_WEIGHT 5.0 -> 1.0 (as described in the paper)
• overlap -> disjoint (disjoint is reported for 100-50 according to the original paper)
• MODEL.WEIGHTS: "ckpt/R-101.pkl" -> "detectron2://ImageNetPretrained/MSRA/R-101.pkl" (the default R101 pretrained weight in detectron2)

Issues:

• CONT.DIST.PSEUDO_TYPE is not used in the code (Is it something missing?)
• ${name}_PSEUDO_T2_UKD1Rew, Does PSEUDO_T2 refer to CONT.DIST.PSEUDO_TYPE=2?

I managed to reproduce other settings, except for 100-5 panoptic segmentation. Any advice is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey! Sorry, I didn't get the notification.

The scripts for training CoMFormer in ADE 100-5 were provided here: scripts/ade5.sh. Have you tried checking the parameters if they match?

CONT.DIST.PSEUDO True CONT.DIST.PSEUDO_TYPE 1 CONT.DIST.KD_WEIGHT 10. CONT.DIST.UKD True CONT.DIST.KD_REW True

[Ze-Yang]

Yes, they match. But CONT.DIST.PSEUDO_TYPE 1 is no longer in use in the code.

[fcdl94]

Ok. Can you also check all the libraries match? (I used the mask2former default ones).

[Ze-Yang]

Your code already includes the mask2former library. It's self-contained. I use the one you provided in this repo.

[fcdl94]

Ok. Then I don't know what it may be. Have you tried again? Maybe it is a large randomness? Actually, it seems you're better in the new classes and worse on the old ones.
