Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition
Deeper neural networks are more difficult to train. We present a residual
learning framework to ease the training of networks that are substantially
deeper than those used previously. We explicitly reformulate the layers as
learning residual functions with reference to the layer inputs, instead of
learning unreferenced functions. We provide comprehensive empirical evidence
showing that these residual networks are easier to optimize, and can gain
accuracy from considerably increased depth. On the ImageNet dataset we evaluate
residual nets with a depth of up to 152 layers---8x deeper than VGG nets but
still having lower complexity. An ensemble of these residual nets achieves
3.57% error on the ImageNet test set. This result won the 1st place on the
ILSVRC 2015 classification task. We also present analysis on CIFAR-10 with 100
and 1000 layers.
The depth of representations is of central importance for many visual
recognition tasks. Solely due to our extremely deep representations, we obtain
a 28% relative improvement on the COCO object detection dataset. Deep residual
nets are foundations of our submissions to ILSVRC & COCO 2015 competitions,
where we also won the 1st places on the tasks of ImageNet detection, ImageNet
localization, COCO detection, and COCO segmentation.Comment: Tech repor
Object Contour and Edge Detection with RefineContourNet
A ResNet-based multi-path refinement CNN is used for object contour
detection. For this task, we prioritise the effective utilization of the
high-level abstraction capability of a ResNet, which leads to state-of-the-art
results for edge detection. Keeping our focus in mind, we fuse the high, mid
and low-level features in that specific order, which differs from many other
approaches. It uses the tensor with the highest-levelled features as the
starting point to combine it layer-by-layer with features of a lower
abstraction level until it reaches the lowest level. We train this network on a
modified PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset for object contour detection and evaluate on a
refined PASCAL-val dataset reaching an excellent performance and an Optimal
Dataset Scale (ODS) of 0.752. Furthermore, by fine-training on the BSDS500
dataset we reach state-of-the-art results for edge-detection with an ODS of
0.824.Comment: Keywords: Object Contour Detection, Edge Detection, Multi-Path
