Enhanced Semantic Segmentation Pipeline for WeatherProof Dataset Challenge
This work addresses semantic segmentation in adverse weather conditions for computer vision applications, representing an incremental improvement.
The authors tackled the WeatherProof Dataset Challenge by developing an enhanced semantic segmentation pipeline that achieved first place on the final leaderboard.
This report describes the winning solution to the WeatherProof Dataset Challenge (CVPR 2024 UG2+ Track 3). Details regarding the challenge are available at https://cvpr2024ug2challenge.github.io/track3.html. We propose an enhanced semantic segmentation pipeline for this challenge. Firstly, we improve semantic segmentation models, using backbone pretrained with Depth Anything to improve UperNet model and SETRMLA model, and adding language guidance based on both weather and category information to InternImage model. Secondly, we introduce a new dataset WeatherProofExtra with wider viewing angle and employ data augmentation methods, including adverse weather and super-resolution. Finally, effective training strategies and ensemble method are applied to improve final performance further. Our solution is ranked 1st on the final leaderboard. Code will be available at https://github.com/KaneiGi/WeatherProofChallenge.
