📑 Table of Content
Visualization
In Radar figure:
- CrossEarth achieves SOTA performances on 23 evaluation benchmarks across various segmentation scenes, demonstrating strong generalizability.
In UMAP figures:
-
CrossEarth extracts features that cluster closely for the same class across different domains, forming well-defined groups in feature space, demonstrating its ability to learn robust, domain-invariant features.
-
Moreover, CrossEarth features exhibit high inter-class separability, forming unique clusters for each class and underscoring its strong representational ability to distingguish different categories.
Environment Requirements:
conda create -n CrossEarth -y
conda activate CrossEarth
conda install pytorch==2.0.1 torchvision==0.15.2 torchaudio==2.0.2 pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia -y
pip install -U openmim
mim install mmengine
mim install "mmcv>=2.0.0"
pip install "mmsegmentation>=1.0.0"
pip install "mmdet>=3.0.0"
pip install xformers=='0.0.20'
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install future tensorboard
Inference steps:
First, download the model weights from the huggingface or Baidu Netdisk in the above badges. Notably, the checkpoints of dinov2_converted.pth and dinov2_converted_1024x1024.pth are needed for inference. Please download them and put them in the CrossEarth/checkpoints folder.
Second, change the file path in experiment config files (configs/base/datasets/xxx.py and configs/CrossEarth_dinov2/xxx.py), and run the following command to inference. (Take 512x512 inference as an example)
python tools/test.py configs/CrossEarth_dinov2/CrossEarth_dinov2_mask2former_512x512_bs1x4.py ./checkpoints/xxx.pth
Notably, save path of pseudo labels is in the experiment config file. When testing CrossEarth on different benchmarks, you also need to change the class number in CrossEarth_dinov2_mask2former.py file.
Training steps:
Coming soon.
