Joint Learning of Intrinsic Images and Semantic Segmentation
Semantic segmentation of outdoor scenes is problematic when there are
variations in imaging conditions. It is known that albedo (reflectance) is
invariant to all kinds of illumination effects. Thus, using reflectance images
for semantic segmentation task can be favorable. Additionally, not only
segmentation may benefit from reflectance, but also segmentation may be useful
for reflectance computation. Therefore, in this paper, the tasks of semantic
segmentation and intrinsic image decomposition are considered as a combined
process by exploring their mutual relationship in a joint fashion. To that end,
we propose a supervised end-to-end CNN architecture to jointly learn intrinsic
image decomposition and semantic segmentation. We analyze the gains of
addressing those two problems jointly. Moreover, new cascade CNN architectures
for intrinsic-for-segmentation and segmentation-for-intrinsic are proposed as
single tasks. Furthermore, a dataset of 35K synthetic images of natural
environments is created with corresponding albedo and shading (intrinsics), as
well as semantic labels (segmentation) assigned to each object/scene. The
experiments show that joint learning of intrinsic image decomposition and
semantic segmentation is beneficial for both tasks for natural scenes. Dataset

Live User-guided Intrinsic Video For Static Scenes
We present a novel real-time approach for user-guided intrinsic decomposition of static scenes captured by an RGB-D sensor. In the first step, we acquire a three-dimensional representation of the scene using a dense volumetric reconstruction framework. The obtained reconstruction serves as a proxy to densely fuse reflectance estimates and to store user-provided constraints in three-dimensional space. User constraints, in the form of constant shading and reflectance strokes, can be placed directly on the real-world geometry using an intuitive touch-based interaction metaphor, or using interactive mouse strokes. Fusing the decomposition results and constraints in three-dimensional space allows for robust propagation of this information to novel views by re-projection.We leverage this information to improve on the decomposition quality of existing intrinsic video decomposition techniques by further constraining the ill-posed decomposition problem. In addition to improved decomposition quality, we show a variety of live augmented reality applications such as recoloring of objects, relighting of scenes and editing of material appearance
