Bringing Background into the Foreground: Making All Classes Equal in Weakly-supervised Video Semantic Segmentation
Pixel-level annotations are expensive and time-consuming to obtain. Hence,
weak supervision using only image tags could have a significant impact in
semantic segmentation. Recent years have seen great progress in
weakly-supervised semantic segmentation, whether from a single image or from
videos. However, most existing methods are designed to handle a single
background class. In practical applications, such as autonomous navigation, it
is often crucial to reason about multiple background classes. In this paper, we
introduce an approach to doing so by making use of classifier heatmaps. We then
develop a two-stream deep architecture that jointly leverages appearance and
motion, and design a loss based on our heatmaps to train it. Our experiments
demonstrate the benefits of our classifier heatmaps and of our two-stream
architecture on challenging urban scene datasets and on the YouTube-Objects
benchmark, where we obtain state-of-the-art results.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, 7 tables, Accepted in ICCV 201
ICNet for Real-Time Semantic Segmentation on High-Resolution Images
We focus on the challenging task of real-time semantic segmentation in this
paper. It finds many practical applications and yet is with fundamental
difficulty of reducing a large portion of computation for pixel-wise label
inference. We propose an image cascade network (ICNet) that incorporates
multi-resolution branches under proper label guidance to address this
challenge. We provide in-depth analysis of our framework and introduce the
cascade feature fusion unit to quickly achieve high-quality segmentation. Our
system yields real-time inference on a single GPU card with decent quality
results evaluated on challenging datasets like Cityscapes, CamVid and
COCO-Stuff.Comment: ECCV 201
