Segmentation tutorial

This example demonstrates image segmentation with an Akida-compatible model as illustrated through person segmentation using the Portrait128 dataset.

Using pre-trained models for quick runtime, this example shows the evolution of model performance for a trained keras floating point model, a keras quantized and Quantization Aware Trained (QAT) model, and an Akida-converted model. Notice that the performance of the original keras floating point model is maintained throughout the model conversion flow.

1. Load the dataset

import os
import numpy as np
from akida_models import fetch_file

# Download validation set from Brainchip data server, it contains 10% of the original dataset
data_path = fetch_file(fname="val.tar.gz",
                       origin="https://data.brainchip.com/dataset-mirror/portrait128/val.tar.gz",
                       cache_subdir=os.path.join("datasets", "portrait128"),
                       extract=True)

data_dir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(data_path), "val")
x_val = np.load(os.path.join(data_dir, "val_img.npy"))
y_val = np.load(os.path.join(data_dir, "val_msk.npy")).astype('uint8')
batch_size = 32
steps = x_val.shape[0] // 32

# Visualize some data
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

id = np.random.randint(0, x_val.shape[0])

fig, axs = plt.subplots(3, 3, constrained_layout=True)
for col in range(3):
    axs[0, col].imshow(x_val[id + col] / 255.)
    axs[0, col].axis('off')
    axs[1, col].imshow(1 - y_val[id + col], cmap='Greys')
    axs[1, col].axis('off')
    axs[2, col].imshow(x_val[id + col] / 255. * y_val[id + col])
    axs[2, col].axis('off')

fig.suptitle('Image, mask and masked image', fontsize=10)
plt.show()

2. Load a pre-trained native Keras model

The model used in this example is AkidaUNet. It has an AkidaNet (0.5) backbone to extract features combined with a succession of separable transposed convolutional blocks to build an image segmentation map. A pre-trained floating point keras model is downloaded to save training time.

Note

  • The “transposed” convolutional feature is new in Akida 2.0.

  • The “separable transposed” operation is realized through the combination of a QuantizeML custom DepthwiseConv2DTranspose layer with a standard pointwise convolution.

The performance of the model is evaluated using both pixel accuracy and Binary IoU. The pixel accuracy describes how well the model can predict the segmentation mask pixel by pixel and the Binary IoU takes into account how close the predicted mask is to the ground truth.

3. Load a pre-trained quantized Keras model

The next step is to quantize and potentially perform Quantize Aware Training (QAT) on the Keras model from the previous step. After the Keras model is quantized to 8-bits for all weights and activations, QAT is used to maintain the performance of the quantized model. Again, a pre-trained model is downloaded to save runtime.

4. Conversion to Akida

Finally, the quantized Keras model from the previous step is converted into an Akida model and its performance is evaluated. Note that the original performance of the keras floating point model is maintained throughout the conversion process in this example.

5. Segment a single image

For visualization of the person segmentation performed by the Akida model, display a single image along with the segmentation produced by the original floating point model and the ground truth segmentation.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Estimate age on a random single image and display Keras and Akida outputs
sample = np.expand_dims(x_val[id, :], 0)
keras_out = model_keras(sample)
akida_out = tf.keras.activations.sigmoid(model_akida.forward(sample.astype('uint8')))

fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 3, constrained_layout=True)
axs[0].imshow(keras_out[0] * sample[0] / 255.)
axs[0].set_title('Keras segmentation', fontsize=10)
axs[0].axis('off')

axs[1].imshow(akida_out[0] * sample[0] / 255.)
axs[1].set_title('Akida segmentation', fontsize=10)
axs[1].axis('off')

axs[2].imshow(y_val[id] * sample[0] / 255.)
axs[2].set_title('Expected segmentation', fontsize=10)
axs[2].axis('off')

plt.show()
Keras segmentation, Akida segmentation, Expected segmentation
