DeepCut: Object Segmentation from Bounding Box Annotations using Convolutional Neural Networks
In this paper, we propose DeepCut, a method to obtain pixelwise object
segmentations given an image dataset labelled with bounding box annotations. It
extends the approach of the well-known GrabCut method to include machine
learning by training a neural network classifier from bounding box annotations.
We formulate the problem as an energy minimisation problem over a
densely-connected conditional random field and iteratively update the training
targets to obtain pixelwise object segmentations. Additionally, we propose
variants of the DeepCut method and compare those to a naive approach to CNN
training under weak supervision. We test its applicability to solve brain and
lung segmentation problems on a challenging fetal magnetic resonance dataset
and obtain encouraging results in terms of accuracy
Correlation Filters with Limited Boundaries
Correlation filters take advantage of specific properties in the Fourier
domain allowing them to be estimated efficiently: O(NDlogD) in the frequency
domain, versus O(D^3 + ND^2) spatially where D is signal length, and N is the
number of signals. Recent extensions to correlation filters, such as MOSSE,
have reignited interest of their use in the vision community due to their
robustness and attractive computational properties. In this paper we
demonstrate, however, that this computational efficiency comes at a cost.
Specifically, we demonstrate that only 1/D proportion of shifted examples are
unaffected by boundary effects which has a dramatic effect on
detection/tracking performance. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to
correlation filter estimation that: (i) takes advantage of inherent
computational redundancies in the frequency domain, and (ii) dramatically
reduces boundary effects. Impressive object tracking and detection results are
presented in terms of both accuracy and computational efficiency.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, 2 table
