Deep Learning based 3D Segmentation: A Survey
3D object segmentation is a fundamental and challenging problem in computer
vision with applications in autonomous driving, robotics, augmented reality and
medical image analysis. It has received significant attention from the computer
vision, graphics and machine learning communities. Traditionally, 3D
segmentation was performed with hand-crafted features and engineered methods
which failed to achieve acceptable accuracy and could not generalize to
large-scale data. Driven by their great success in 2D computer vision, deep
learning techniques have recently become the tool of choice for 3D segmentation
tasks as well. This has led to an influx of a large number of methods in the
literature that have been evaluated on different benchmark datasets. This paper
provides a comprehensive survey of recent progress in deep learning based 3D
segmentation covering over 150 papers. It summarizes the most commonly used
pipelines, discusses their highlights and shortcomings, and analyzes the
competitive results of these segmentation methods. Based on the analysis, it
also provides promising research directions for the future.Comment: Under review of ACM Computing Surveys, 36 pages, 10 tables, 9 figure
A survey on deep learning techniques for image and video semantic segmentation
Image semantic segmentation is more and more being of interest for computer vision and machine learning researchers. Many applications on the rise need accurate and efficient segmentation mechanisms: autonomous driving, indoor navigation, and even virtual or augmented reality systems to name a few. This demand coincides with the rise of deep learning approaches in almost every field or application target related to computer vision, including semantic segmentation or scene understanding. This paper provides a review on deep learning methods for semantic segmentation applied to various application areas. Firstly, we formulate the semantic segmentation problem and define the terminology of this field as well as interesting background concepts. Next, the main datasets and challenges are exposed to help researchers decide which are the ones that best suit their needs and goals. Then, existing methods are reviewed, highlighting their contributions and their significance in the field. We also devote a part of the paper to review common loss functions and error metrics for this problem. Finally, quantitative results are given for the described methods and the datasets in which they were evaluated, following up with a discussion of the results. At last, we point out a set of promising future works and draw our own conclusions about the state of the art of semantic segmentation using deep learning techniques.This work has been funded by the Spanish Government TIN2016-76515-R funding for the COMBAHO project, supported with Feder funds.
