Training a finetuned SegFormer model with Pytorch Lightning#

This notebook is a modified version of the official Colab tutorial of “Roboflow How to Train SegFormer” which can be found here.

In this tutorial we will see how to fine-tune a pre-trained SegFormer model for semantic segmentation on a custom dataset. We will integrate with 3LC by creating a training run, registering 3LC datasets, and collecting per-sample predicted masks.

This notebook demonstrates:

  • Training a SegFormer model on a custom dataset with Pytorch Lightning.

  • Registering train/val/test sets into 3LC Tables

  • Collecting per-sample semantic segmentation, predicted masks through callbacks

Setup Datasets and Training helpers#

We will create a Table with the images and their associated masks.

Moreover, we will also define helpers to pre-process this dataset into a suitable form for training and collecting metrics.

To finish, we define a Pytorch LightningModule to define the steps for training, validation and test.
