Joint Optical Flow and Temporally Consistent Semantic Segmentation
The importance and demands of visual scene understanding have been steadily
increasing along with the active development of autonomous systems.
Consequently, there has been a large amount of research dedicated to semantic
segmentation and dense motion estimation. In this paper, we propose a method
for jointly estimating optical flow and temporally consistent semantic
segmentation, which closely connects these two problem domains and leverages
each other. Semantic segmentation provides information on plausible physical
motion to its associated pixels, and accurate pixel-level temporal
correspondences enhance the accuracy of semantic segmentation in the temporal
domain. We demonstrate the benefits of our approach on the KITTI benchmark,
where we observe performance gains for flow and segmentation. We achieve
state-of-the-art optical flow results, and outperform all published algorithms
by a large margin on challenging, but crucial dynamic objects.Comment: 14 pages, Accepted for CVRSUAD workshop at ECCV 201
Saliency-guided Adaptive Seeding for Supervoxel Segmentation
We propose a new saliency-guided method for generating supervoxels in 3D
space. Rather than using an evenly distributed spatial seeding procedure, our
method uses visual saliency to guide the process of supervoxel generation. This
results in densely distributed, small, and precise supervoxels in salient
regions which often contain objects, and larger supervoxels in less salient
regions that often correspond to background. Our approach largely improves the
quality of the resulting supervoxel segmentation in terms of boundary recall
and under-segmentation error on publicly available benchmarks.Comment: 6 pages, accepted to IROS201
