Deep Video Color Propagation
Traditional approaches for color propagation in videos rely on some form of
matching between consecutive video frames. Using appearance descriptors, colors
are then propagated both spatially and temporally. These methods, however, are
computationally expensive and do not take advantage of semantic information of
the scene. In this work we propose a deep learning framework for color
propagation that combines a local strategy, to propagate colors frame-by-frame
ensuring temporal stability, and a global strategy, using semantics for color
propagation within a longer range. Our evaluation shows the superiority of our
strategy over existing video and image color propagation methods as well as
neural photo-realistic style transfer approaches.Comment: BMVC 201
Learning Sparse High Dimensional Filters: Image Filtering, Dense CRFs and Bilateral Neural Networks
Bilateral filters have wide spread use due to their edge-preserving
properties. The common use case is to manually choose a parametric filter type,
usually a Gaussian filter. In this paper, we will generalize the
parametrization and in particular derive a gradient descent algorithm so the
filter parameters can be learned from data. This derivation allows to learn
high dimensional linear filters that operate in sparsely populated feature
spaces. We build on the permutohedral lattice construction for efficient
filtering. The ability to learn more general forms of high-dimensional filters
can be used in several diverse applications. First, we demonstrate the use in
applications where single filter applications are desired for runtime reasons.
Further, we show how this algorithm can be used to learn the pairwise
potentials in densely connected conditional random fields and apply these to
different image segmentation tasks. Finally, we introduce layers of bilateral
filters in CNNs and propose bilateral neural networks for the use of
high-dimensional sparse data. This view provides new ways to encode model
structure into network architectures. A diverse set of experiments empirically
validates the usage of general forms of filters
