DeepLab: Semantic Image Segmentation with Deep Convolutional Nets, Atrous Convolution, and Fully Connected CRFs
In this work we address the task of semantic image segmentation with Deep
Learning and make three main contributions that are experimentally shown to
have substantial practical merit. First, we highlight convolution with
upsampled filters, or 'atrous convolution', as a powerful tool in dense
prediction tasks. Atrous convolution allows us to explicitly control the
resolution at which feature responses are computed within Deep Convolutional
Neural Networks. It also allows us to effectively enlarge the field of view of
filters to incorporate larger context without increasing the number of
parameters or the amount of computation. Second, we propose atrous spatial
pyramid pooling (ASPP) to robustly segment objects at multiple scales. ASPP
probes an incoming convolutional feature layer with filters at multiple
sampling rates and effective fields-of-views, thus capturing objects as well as
image context at multiple scales. Third, we improve the localization of object
boundaries by combining methods from DCNNs and probabilistic graphical models.
The commonly deployed combination of max-pooling and downsampling in DCNNs
achieves invariance but has a toll on localization accuracy. We overcome this
by combining the responses at the final DCNN layer with a fully connected
Conditional Random Field (CRF), which is shown both qualitatively and
quantitatively to improve localization performance. Our proposed "DeepLab"
system sets the new state-of-art at the PASCAL VOC-2012 semantic image
segmentation task, reaching 79.7% mIOU in the test set, and advances the
results on three other datasets: PASCAL-Context, PASCAL-Person-Part, and
Cityscapes. All of our code is made publicly available online.Comment: Accepted by TPAM
Fast Deep Matting for Portrait Animation on Mobile Phone
Image matting plays an important role in image and video editing. However,
the formulation of image matting is inherently ill-posed. Traditional methods
usually employ interaction to deal with the image matting problem with trimaps
and strokes, and cannot run on the mobile phone in real-time. In this paper, we
propose a real-time automatic deep matting approach for mobile devices. By
leveraging the densely connected blocks and the dilated convolution, a light
full convolutional network is designed to predict a coarse binary mask for
portrait images. And a feathering block, which is edge-preserving and matting
adaptive, is further developed to learn the guided filter and transform the
binary mask into alpha matte. Finally, an automatic portrait animation system
based on fast deep matting is built on mobile devices, which does not need any
interaction and can realize real-time matting with 15 fps. The experiments show
that the proposed approach achieves comparable results with the
state-of-the-art matting solvers.Comment: ACM Multimedia Conference (MM) 2017 camera-read
