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
Finding Temporally Consistent Occlusion Boundaries in Videos using Geometric Context
We present an algorithm for finding temporally consistent occlusion
boundaries in videos to support segmentation of dynamic scenes. We learn
occlusion boundaries in a pairwise Markov random field (MRF) framework. We
first estimate the probability of an spatio-temporal edge being an occlusion
boundary by using appearance, flow, and geometric features. Next, we enforce
occlusion boundary continuity in a MRF model by learning pairwise occlusion
probabilities using a random forest. Then, we temporally smooth boundaries to
remove temporal inconsistencies in occlusion boundary estimation. Our proposed
framework provides an efficient approach for finding temporally consistent
occlusion boundaries in video by utilizing causality, redundancy in videos, and
semantic layout of the scene. We have developed a dataset with fully annotated
ground-truth occlusion boundaries of over 30 videos ($5000 frames). This
dataset is used to evaluate temporal occlusion boundaries and provides a much
needed baseline for future studies. We perform experiments to demonstrate the
role of scene layout, and temporal information for occlusion reasoning in
dynamic scenes.Comment: Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), 2015 IEEE Winter Conference
