PETS2009 and Winter-PETS 2009 results: a combined evaluation
This paper presents the results of the crowd image analysis
challenge of the Winter PETS 2009 workshop. The evaluation
is carried out using a selection of the metrics developed
in the Video Analysis and Content Extraction (VACE)
program and the CLassification of Events, Activities, and
Relationships (CLEAR) consortium [13]. The evaluation
highlights the detection and tracking performance of the authors’systems in areas such as precision, accuracy and robustness. The performance is also compared to the PETS
2009 submitted results
Quantitative Analysis of Saliency Models
Previous saliency detection research required the reader to evaluate
performance qualitatively, based on renderings of saliency maps on a few
shapes. This qualitative approach meant it was unclear which saliency models
were better, or how well they compared to human perception. This paper provides
a quantitative evaluation framework that addresses this issue. In the first
quantitative analysis of 3D computational saliency models, we evaluate four
computational saliency models and two baseline models against ground-truth
saliency collected in previous work.Comment: 10 page
Panoptic Segmentation
We propose and study a task we name panoptic segmentation (PS). Panoptic
segmentation unifies the typically distinct tasks of semantic segmentation
(assign a class label to each pixel) and instance segmentation (detect and
segment each object instance). The proposed task requires generating a coherent
scene segmentation that is rich and complete, an important step toward
real-world vision systems. While early work in computer vision addressed
related image/scene parsing tasks, these are not currently popular, possibly
due to lack of appropriate metrics or associated recognition challenges. To
address this, we propose a novel panoptic quality (PQ) metric that captures
performance for all classes (stuff and things) in an interpretable and unified
manner. Using the proposed metric, we perform a rigorous study of both human
and machine performance for PS on three existing datasets, revealing
interesting insights about the task. The aim of our work is to revive the
interest of the community in a more unified view of image segmentation.Comment: accepted to CVPR 201
