Multiresolution hierarchy co-clustering for semantic segmentation in sequences with small variations
This paper presents a co-clustering technique that, given a collection of
images and their hierarchies, clusters nodes from these hierarchies to obtain a
coherent multiresolution representation of the image collection. We formalize
the co-clustering as a Quadratic Semi-Assignment Problem and solve it with a
linear programming relaxation approach that makes effective use of information
from hierarchies. Initially, we address the problem of generating an optimal,
coherent partition per image and, afterwards, we extend this method to a
multiresolution framework. Finally, we particularize this framework to an
iterative multiresolution video segmentation algorithm in sequences with small
variations. We evaluate the algorithm on the Video Occlusion/Object Boundary
Detection Dataset, showing that it produces state-of-the-art results in these
scenarios.Comment: International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 201
The Incremental Multiresolution Matrix Factorization Algorithm
Multiresolution analysis and matrix factorization are foundational tools in
computer vision. In this work, we study the interface between these two
distinct topics and obtain techniques to uncover hierarchical block structure
in symmetric matrices -- an important aspect in the success of many vision
problems. Our new algorithm, the incremental multiresolution matrix
factorization, uncovers such structure one feature at a time, and hence scales
well to large matrices. We describe how this multiscale analysis goes much
farther than what a direct global factorization of the data can identify. We
evaluate the efficacy of the resulting factorizations for relative leveraging
within regression tasks using medical imaging data. We also use the
factorization on representations learned by popular deep networks, providing
evidence of their ability to infer semantic relationships even when they are
not explicitly trained to do so. We show that this algorithm can be used as an
exploratory tool to improve the network architecture, and within numerous other
settings in vision.Comment: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2017, 10 page
