ImageSpirit: Verbal Guided Image Parsing
Humans describe images in terms of nouns and adjectives while algorithms
operate on images represented as sets of pixels. Bridging this gap between how
humans would like to access images versus their typical representation is the
goal of image parsing, which involves assigning object and attribute labels to
pixel. In this paper we propose treating nouns as object labels and adjectives
as visual attribute labels. This allows us to formulate the image parsing
problem as one of jointly estimating per-pixel object and attribute labels from
a set of training images. We propose an efficient (interactive time) solution.
Using the extracted labels as handles, our system empowers a user to verbally
refine the results. This enables hands-free parsing of an image into pixel-wise
object/attribute labels that correspond to human semantics. Verbally selecting
objects of interests enables a novel and natural interaction modality that can
possibly be used to interact with new generation devices (e.g. smart phones,
Google Glass, living room devices). We demonstrate our system on a large number
of real-world images with varying complexity. To help understand the tradeoffs
compared to traditional mouse based interactions, results are reported for both
a large scale quantitative evaluation and a user study.Comment: http://mmcheng.net/imagespirit
Driving Scene Perception Network: Real-time Joint Detection, Depth Estimation and Semantic Segmentation
As the demand for enabling high-level autonomous driving has increased in
recent years and visual perception is one of the critical features to enable
fully autonomous driving, in this paper, we introduce an efficient approach for
simultaneous object detection, depth estimation and pixel-level semantic
segmentation using a shared convolutional architecture. The proposed network
model, which we named Driving Scene Perception Network (DSPNet), uses
multi-level feature maps and multi-task learning to improve the accuracy and
efficiency of object detection, depth estimation and image segmentation tasks
from a single input image. Hence, the resulting network model uses less than
850 MiB of GPU memory and achieves 14.0 fps on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 with a
1024x512 input image, and both precision and efficiency have been improved over
combination of single tasks.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, WACV'1
