Cascaded Scene Flow Prediction using Semantic Segmentation
Given two consecutive frames from a pair of stereo cameras, 3D scene flow
methods simultaneously estimate the 3D geometry and motion of the observed
scene. Many existing approaches use superpixels for regularization, but may
predict inconsistent shapes and motions inside rigidly moving objects. We
instead assume that scenes consist of foreground objects rigidly moving in
front of a static background, and use semantic cues to produce pixel-accurate
scene flow estimates. Our cascaded classification framework accurately models
3D scenes by iteratively refining semantic segmentation masks, stereo
correspondences, 3D rigid motion estimates, and optical flow fields. We
evaluate our method on the challenging KITTI autonomous driving benchmark, and
show that accounting for the motion of segmented vehicles leads to
state-of-the-art performance.Comment: International Conference on 3D Vision (3DV), 2017 (oral presentation

Cascaded Segmentation-Detection Networks for Word-Level Text Spotting
We introduce an algorithm for word-level text spotting that is able to
accurately and reliably determine the bounding regions of individual words of
text "in the wild". Our system is formed by the cascade of two convolutional
neural networks. The first network is fully convolutional and is in charge of
detecting areas containing text. This results in a very reliable but possibly
inaccurate segmentation of the input image. The second network (inspired by the
popular YOLO architecture) analyzes each segment produced in the first stage,
and predicts oriented rectangular regions containing individual words. No
post-processing (e.g. text line grouping) is necessary. With execution time of
450 ms for a 1000-by-560 image on a Titan X GPU, our system achieves the
highest score to date among published algorithms on the ICDAR 2015 Incidental
Scene Text dataset benchmark.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure
OVSNet : Towards One-Pass Real-Time Video Object Segmentation
Video object segmentation aims at accurately segmenting the target object
regions across consecutive frames. It is technically challenging for coping
with complicated factors (e.g., shape deformations, occlusion and out of the
lens). Recent approaches have largely solved them by using backforth
re-identification and bi-directional mask propagation. However, their methods
are extremely slow and only support offline inference, which in principle
cannot be applied in real time. Motivated by this observation, we propose a
efficient detection-based paradigm for video object segmentation. We propose an
unified One-Pass Video Segmentation framework (OVS-Net) for modeling
spatial-temporal representation in a unified pipeline, which seamlessly
integrates object detection, object segmentation, and object re-identification.
The proposed framework lends itself to one-pass inference that effectively and
efficiently performs video object segmentation. Moreover, we propose a
maskguided attention module for modeling the multi-scale object boundary and
multi-level feature fusion. Experiments on the challenging DAVIS 2017
demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework with comparable
performance to the state-of-the-art, and the great efficiency about 11.5 FPS
towards pioneering real-time work to our knowledge, more than 5 times faster
than other state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
