Propagate Yourself: Exploring Pixel-Level Consistency for Unsupervised Visual Representation Learning
By Zhenda Xie*, Yutong Lin*, Zheng Zhang, Yue Cao, Stephen Lin and Han Hu.
This repo is an official implementation of "Propagate Yourself: Exploring Pixel-Level Consistency for Unsupervised Visual Representation Learning" on PyTorch.
Introduction
PixPro (pixel-to-propagation) is an unsupervised visual feature learning approach by leveraging pixel-level pretext tasks. The learnt feature can be well transferred to downstream dense prediction tasks such as object detection and semantic segmentation. PixPro achieves the best transferring performance on Pascal VOC object detection (60.2 AP using C4) and COCO object detection (41.4 / 40.5 mAP using FPN / C4) with a ResNet-50 backbone.
An illustration of the proposed PixPro method.
