SLoRD

This is the official pytorch implementation of SLoRD.

Pipeline

• Extracted basic contour descriptors via SVD using the 'contour_descriptors' folder.
• Acquiring coarse predictions with files in the folder 'the first stage'.
• Refining coarse predictions with SLoRD using the folder 'the second stage'.
