LVIS Challenge Track Technical Report 1st Place Solution: Distribution Balanced and Boundary Refinement for Large Vocabulary Instance Segmentation
WeiFu Fu, Congchong Nie, Ting Sun, Jun Liu, Tianliang Zhang, Yong liu
This report introduces the technical details of the team FuXi-Fresher for LVIS Challenge 2021. Our method focuses on the problem in following two aspects: the long-tail distribution and the segmentation quality of mask and boundary. Based on the advanced HTC instance segmentation algorithm, we connect transformer backbone(Swin-L) through composite connections inspired by CBNetv2 to enhance the baseline results. To alleviate the problem of long-tail distribution, we design a Distribution Balanced method which includes dataset balanced and loss function balaced modules. Further, we use a Mask and Boundary Refinement method composed with mask scoring and refine-mask algorithms to improve the segmentation quality. In addition, we are pleasantly surprised to find that early stopping combined with EMA method can achieve a great improvement. Finally, by using multi-scale testing and increasing the upper limit of the number of objects detected per image, we achieved more than 45.4% boundary AP on the val set of LVIS Challenge 2021. On the test data of LVIS Challenge 2021, we rank 1st and achieve 48.1% AP. Notably, our APr 47.5% is very closed to the APf 48.0%.
