This code is for the paper: S Hosseinzadeh, etc. "Fast Shadow Detection from a Single Image Using a Patched Convolutional Neural Network", Proceedings of the IEEE/IROS 2018, https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.09283

These images are used as image-level prior that are defined in line 44 of main_fast_shadow_detection.py.

Build folders "data_cache" and "prediction_output_v1" for data training/testing output files, and output prediction result files.

TrainImgeFolder: Training Images

TrainMaskFolder: Training Masks (Ground Truth)

TrainFCNFolder: Shadow Prior Map Images

Likewise for testing images…

The Mask and Shadow Prior files should have 1 dimension, and Mask files also should be binary.
