README.md

This repository contains the implementation for the paper:

Importance of Self-Consistency in Active Learning for Semantic Segmentation (BMVC 2020)

The code is test on Ubuntu 16.04, Pytorch 1.5, and python 3.6.6.

The Active learing code in this repository consist of two main steps (folders):

1. ActiveLearning: Include active learning code.
   
2. FinalTraining: Include the code for final training stage after AL process is finished or to compute the upperbond performance.

In addition to the resuts in the paper here is also the results via DeepLabV3 as an backbone (instead of FCN) for our paper.

Results for DeeplabV3 as backbone
