Deep Video Color Propagation
Traditional approaches for color propagation in videos rely on some form of
matching between consecutive video frames. Using appearance descriptors, colors
are then propagated both spatially and temporally. These methods, however, are
computationally expensive and do not take advantage of semantic information of
the scene. In this work we propose a deep learning framework for color
propagation that combines a local strategy, to propagate colors frame-by-frame
ensuring temporal stability, and a global strategy, using semantics for color
propagation within a longer range. Our evaluation shows the superiority of our
strategy over existing video and image color propagation methods as well as
neural photo-realistic style transfer approaches.Comment: BMVC 201
SurReal: enhancing Surgical simulation Realism using style transfer
Surgical simulation is an increasingly important element of surgical
education. Using simulation can be a means to address some of the significant
challenges in developing surgical skills with limited time and resources. The
photo-realistic fidelity of simulations is a key feature that can improve the
experience and transfer ratio of trainees. In this paper, we demonstrate how we
can enhance the visual fidelity of existing surgical simulation by performing
style transfer of multi-class labels from real surgical video onto synthetic
content. We demonstrate our approach on simulations of cataract surgery using
real data labels from an existing public dataset. Our results highlight the
feasibility of the approach and also the powerful possibility to extend this
technique to incorporate additional temporal constraints and to different
applications
