Adversarially Tuned Scene Generation
Generalization performance of trained computer vision systems that use
computer graphics (CG) generated data is not yet effective due to the concept
of 'domain-shift' between virtual and real data. Although simulated data
augmented with a few real world samples has been shown to mitigate domain shift
and improve transferability of trained models, guiding or bootstrapping the
virtual data generation with the distributions learnt from target real world
domain is desired, especially in the fields where annotating even few real
images is laborious (such as semantic labeling, and intrinsic images etc.). In
order to address this problem in an unsupervised manner, our work combines
recent advances in CG (which aims to generate stochastic scene layouts coupled
with large collections of 3D object models) and generative adversarial training
(which aims train generative models by measuring discrepancy between generated
and real data in terms of their separability in the space of a deep
discriminatively-trained classifier). Our method uses iterative estimation of
the posterior density of prior distributions for a generative graphical model.
This is done within a rejection sampling framework. Initially, we assume
uniform distributions as priors on the parameters of a scene described by a
generative graphical model. As iterations proceed the prior distributions get
updated to distributions that are closer to the (unknown) distributions of
target data. We demonstrate the utility of adversarially tuned scene generation
on two real-world benchmark datasets (CityScapes and CamVid) for traffic scene
semantic labeling with a deep convolutional net (DeepLab). We realized
performance improvements by 2.28 and 3.14 points (using the IoU metric) between
the DeepLab models trained on simulated sets prepared from the scene generation
models before and after tuning to CityScapes and CamVid respectively.Comment: 9 pages, accepted at CVPR 201
