Benchmark Suite


We offer a benchmark suite together with an evaluation server, such that authors can upload their results and get a ranking regarding the different tasks (pixel-level, instance-level, and panoptic semantic labeling as well as 3d vehicle detection). If you would like to submit your results, please register, login, and follow the instructions on our submission page.

Pixel-Level Semantic Labeling Task

The first Cityscapes task involves predicting a per-pixel semantic labeling of the image without considering higher-level object instance or boundary information.

Metrics

To assess performance, we rely on the standard Jaccard Index, commonly known as the PASCAL VOC intersection-over-union metric IoU = TP ⁄ (TP+FP+FN) [1], where TP, FP, and FN are the numbers of true positive, false positive, and false negative pixels, respectively, determined over the whole test set. Owing to the two semantic granularities, i.e. classes and categories, we report two separate mean performance scores: IoUcategory and IoUclass. In either case, pixels labeled as void do not contribute to the score.

It is well-known that the global IoU measure is biased toward object instances that cover a large image area. In street scenes with their strong scale variation this can be problematic. Specifically for traffic participants, which are the key classes in our scenario, we aim to evaluate how well the individual instances in the scene are represented in the labeling. To address this, we additionally evaluate the semantic labeling using an instance-level intersection-over-union metric iIoU = iTP ⁄ (iTP+FP+iFN). Again iTP, FP, and iFN denote the numbers of true positive, false positive, and false negative pixels, respectively. However, in contrast to the standard IoU measure, iTP and iFN are computed by weighting the contribution of each pixel by the ratio of the class’ average instance size to the size of the respective ground truth instance. It is important to note here that unlike the instance-level task below, we assume that the methods only yield a standard per-pixel semantic class labeling as output. Therefore, the false positive pixels are not associated with any instance and thus do not require normalization. The final scores, iIoUcategory and iIoUclass, are obtained as the means for the two semantic granularities.

Both are described in the paper. The combined network was trained jointly. The context module consists of 10 layers, each of which has C=19 feature maps. The larger number of layers in the context module (10 for Cityscapes versus 8 for Pascal VOC) is due to the high input resolution. The Dilation10 model is a pure convolutional network: there is no CRF and no structured prediction. Dilation10 can therefore be used as the baseline input for structured prediction models. Note that the reported results were produced by training on the training set only; the network was not retrained on train+val.

SegvicGCPR 2016We propose an effective technique to address large scale variation in images taken from a moving car by cross-breeding deep learning with stereo reconstruction. Our main contribution is a novel scale selection layer which extracts convolutional features at the scale which matches the corresponding reconstructed depth. The recovered scaleinvariant representation disentangles appearance from scale and frees the pixel-level classifier from the need to learn the laws of the perspective. This results in improved segmentation results due to more effi- cient exploitation of representation capacity and training data. We perform experiments on two challenging stereoscopic datasets (KITTI and Cityscapes) and report competitive class-level IoU performance.

YuillearXiv preprintDeepLabv2-CRF is based on three main methods. First, we employ convolution with upsampled filters, or ‘atrous convolution’, as a powerful tool to repurpose ResNet-101 (trained on image classification task) in dense prediction tasks. Atrous convolution allows us to explicitly control the resolution at which feature responses are computed within DCNNs. 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 fully connected Conditional Random Fields (CRFs). The model is only trained on train set.

Deep Layer Cascade (LC)yesyesnononononononononono71.147.088.174.1n/anonoNot All Pixels Are Equal: Difficulty-aware Semantic Segmentation via Deep Layer CascadeXiaoxiao Li, Ziwei Liu, Ping Luo, Chen Change Loy, Xiaoou TangCVPR 2017We propose a novel deep layer cascade (LC) method to improve the accuracy and speed of semantic segmentation. Unlike the conventional model cascade (MC) that is composed of multiple independent models, LC treats a single deep model as a cascade of several sub-models. Earlier sub-models are trained to handle easy and confident regions, and they progressively feed-forward harder regions to the next sub-model for processing. Convolutions are only calculated on these regions to reduce computations. The proposed method possesses several advantages. First, LC classifies most of the easy regions in the shallow stage and makes deeper stage focuses on a few hard regions. Such an adaptive and 'difficulty-aware' learning improves segmentation performance. Second, LC accelerates both training and testing of deep network thanks to early decisions in the shallow stage. Third, in comparison to MC, LC is an end-to-end trainable framework, allowing joint learning of all sub-models. We evaluate our method on PASCAL VOC and

First, we implement dense upsampling convolution (DUC) to generate pixel-level prediction, which is able to capture and decode more detailed information that is generally missing in bilinear upsampling. Second, we propose a hybrid dilated convolution (HDC) framework in the encoding phase. This framework 1) effectively enlarges the receptive fields of the network to aggregate global information; 2) alleviates what we call the "gridding issue" caused by the standard dilated convolution operation. We evaluate our approaches thoroughly on the Cityscapes dataset, and achieve a new state-of-art result of 80.1% mIOU in the test set. We also are state-of-the-art overall on the KITTI road estimation benchmark and the
PASCAL VOC2012 segmentation task. Pretrained models are available at https://goo.gl/DQMeun.

To handle the problem of segmenting objects
at multiple scales, we employ a module, called Atrous Spatial Pyrmid Pooling (ASPP), which adopts atrous convolution in parallel to capture multi-scale context with multiple atrous rates. Furthermore, we propose to augment ASPP module with image-level features encoding global context and further boost performance.
Results obtained with a single model (no ensemble), trained with fine + coarse annotations. More details will be shown in the updated arXiv report.

Close objects cover significantly more pixels than far objects. In this paper, we address this challenge with a
scale invariant architecture. Within this architecture, we explicitly estimate the depth and adapt the pooling
field size accordingly. Our model is compact and can be extended easily to other research domains. Finally,
the accuracy of our approach is comparable to the state-of-the-art and superior for scale problems. We evaluate
on the widely used automotive dataset Cityscapes as well as a self-recorded dataset.

Multitask Learningyesyesnononononononononono78.557.489.977.7n/anonoMulti-Task Learning Using Uncertainty to Weigh Losses for Scene Geometry and SemanticsAlex Kendall, Yarin Gal and Roberto CipollaNumerous deep learning applications benefit from multi-task learning with multiple regression and classification objectives. In this paper we make the observation that the performance of such systems is strongly dependent on the relative weighting between each task's loss. Tuning these weights by hand is a difficult and expensive process, making multi-task learning prohibitive in practice. We propose a principled approach to multi-task deep learning which weighs multiple loss functions by considering the homoscedastic uncertainty of each task. This allows us to simultaneously learn various quantities with different units or scales in both classification and regression settings. We demonstrate our model learning per-pixel depth regression, semantic and instance segmentation from a monocular input image. Perhaps surprisingly, we show our model can learn multi-task weightings and outperform separate models trained individually on each task.

Specifically, to handle the intra-class inconsistency problem, we specially design a Smooth Network with Channel Attention Block and global average pooling to select the more discriminative features. Furthermore, we propose a Border Network to make the bilateral features of boundary distinguishable with deep semantic boundary supervision. Based on our proposed DFN, we achieve state-of-the-art performance 86.2% mean IOU on PASCAL VOC 2012 and 80.3% mean IOU on Cityscapes dataset.

RelationNet_Coarseyesyesyesyesnononononononono82.461.991.881.4n/anonoRelationNet: Learning Deep-Aligned Representation for Semantic Image SegmentationYueqing ZhuangICPR Semantic image segmentation, which assigns labels in pixel level, plays a central role in image understanding. Recent approaches have attempted to harness the capabilities of deep learning. However, one central problem of these methods is that deep convolution neural network gives little consideration to the correlation among pixels. To handle this issue, in this paper, we propose a novel deep neural network named RelationNet, which utilizes CNN and RNN to aggregate context information. Besides, a spatial correlation loss is applied to supervise RelationNet to align features of spatial pixels belonging to same category. Importantly, since it is expensive to obtain pixel-wise annotations, we exploit a new training method for combining the coarsely and finely labeled data. Separate experiments show the detailed improvements of each proposal. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method to the problem of semantic image segmentation.

Our solution substitutes the conventionally used succession of BatchNorm + Activation layers with a single plugin layer, hence avoiding invasive framework surgery while providing straightforward applicability for existing deep learning frameworks. We obtain memory savings of up to 50% by dropping intermediate results and by recovering required information during the backward pass through the inversion of stored forward results, with only minor increase (0.8-2%) in computation time. Test results are obtained using a single model.

ESPNet is based on a new convolutional module, efficient spatial pyramid (ESP), which is efficient in terms of computation, memory, and power. ESPNet is 22 times faster (on a standard GPU) and 180 times smaller than the state-of-the-art semantic segmentation network PSPNet, while its category-wise accuracy is only 8% less. We evaluated EPSNet on a variety of semantic segmentation datasets including Cityscapes, PASCAL VOC, and a breast biopsy whole slide image dataset. Under the same constraints on memory and computation, ESPNet outperforms all the current efficient CNN networks such as MobileNet, ShuffleNet, and ENet on both standard metrics and our newly introduced performance metrics that measure efficiency on edge devices. Our network can process high resolution images at a rate of 112 and 9 frames per second on a standard GPU and edge device, respectively

Global context plays an important role on local pixel-wise category assignment. To make the best of global context, in this paper, we propose dense relation network (DRN) and context-restricted loss (CRL) to aggregate global and local information. DRN uses Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with different skip lengths in spatial directions to get context-aware representations while CRL helps aggregate them to learn consistency. Compared with previous methods, our proposed method takes full advantage of hierarchical contextual representations to produce high-quality results. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our methods achieves significant state-of-the-art performances on Cityscapes and Pascal Context benchmarks, with mean-IoU of 82.8% and 49.0% respectively.

To tackle this issue, we propose perspective-adaptive convolutions to acquire receptive fields of flexible sizes and shapes during scene parsing. Through adding a new perspective regression layer, we can dynamically infer the position-adaptive perspective coefficient vectors utilized to reshape the convolutional patches. Consequently, the receptive fields can be adjusted automatically according to the various sizes and perspective deformations of the objects in scene images. Our proposed convolutions are differentiable to learn the convolutional parameters and perspective coefficients in an end-to-end way without any extra training supervision of object sizes. Furthermore, considering that the standard convolutions lack contextual information and spatial dependencies, we propose a context adaptive bias to capture both local and global contextual information through average pooling on the local feature patches and global feature maps, followed by flexible attentive summing to the convolutional results. The attentive weights are position-adaptive and context-aware, and can be learned through adding an additional context regression layer. Experiments on Cityscapes and ADE20K datasets well demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

The former networks are able to encode multi-scale contextual information by probing the incoming features with filters or pooling operations at multiple rates and multiple effective fields-of-view, while the latter networks can capture sharper object boundaries by gradually recovering the spatial information. In this work, we propose to combine the advantages from both methods. Specifically, our proposed model, DeepLabv3+, extends DeepLabv3 by adding a simple yet effective decoder module to refine the segmentation results especially along object boundaries. We further explore the Xception model and apply the depthwise separable convolution to both Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling and decoder modules, resulting in a faster and stronger encoder-decoder network. We will provide more details in the coming update on the arXiv report.

State-of-the-art methods are, however, not directly transferable to real-time applications or embedded devices, since naive adaptation of such systems to reduce computational cost (speed, memory and energy) causes a significant drop in accuracy. We propose ContextNet, a new deep neural network architecture which builds on factorized convolution, network compression and pyramid representations to produce competitive semantic segmentation in real-time with low memory requirements. ContextNet combines a deep branch at low resolution that captures global context information efficiently with a shallow branch that focuses on high-resolution segmentation details. We analyze our network in a thorough ablation study and present results on the Cityscapes dataset, achieving 66.1% accuracy at 18.3 frames per second at full (1024x2048) resolution.

Based on a survey of techniques in dense image prediction, we construct a recursive search space and demonstrate that even with efficient random search, we can identify architectures that achieve state-of-the-art performance. Additionally, the resulting architecture (called DPC for Dense Prediction Cell) is more computationally efficient, requiring half the parameters and half the computational cost as previous state of the art systems.

YuECCV 2018Existing semantic segmentation methods mostly rely on per-pixel supervision, unable to capture structural regularity present in natural images. Instead of learning to enforce semantic labels on individual pixels, we propose to enforce affinity field patterns in individual pixel neighbourhoods, i.e., the semantic label patterns of whether neighbouring pixels are in the same segment should match between the prediction and the ground-truth. The affinity fields characterize geometric relationships within the image, such as "motorcycles have round wheels". We further develop a novel method for learning the optimal neighbourhood size for each semantic category, with an adversarial loss that optimizes over worst-case scenarios. Unlike the common Conditional Random Field (CRF) approaches, our adaptive affinity field (AAF) method has no extra parameters during inference, and is less sensitive to appearance changes in the image.

The state-of-the-art scene parsing methods define the context as the prior of the scene categories (e.g., bathroom, badroom, street).
Such scene context is not suitable for the street scene parsing tasks as most of the scenes are similar.

In this work, we propose the Object Context that captures the prior of the object's category that the pixel belongs to.
We compute the object context by aggregating all the pixels' features according to a attention map that encodes the probability of each pixel that it belongs to the same category with the associated pixel.
Specifically, We employ the self-attention method to compute the pixel-wise attention map.

We further propose the Pyramid Object Context and Atrous Spatial Pyramid Object Context to handle the problem of multi-scales.

The position attention module selectively aggregates the features at each

We sum the outputs of the two attention modules to further improve feature representation which contributes to more precise segmentation results

Reda, Kevin J. Shih, Shawn Newsam, Andrew Tao, Bryan CatanzaroCVPR 2019Semantic segmentation requires large amounts of pixel-wise annotations to learn accurate models. In this paper, we present a video prediction-based methodology to scale up training sets by synthesizing new training samples in order to improve the accuracy of semantic segmentation networks. We exploit video prediction models' ability to predict future frames in order to also predict future labels. A joint propagation strategy is also proposed to alleviate mis-alignments in synthesized samples. We demonstrate that training segmentation models on datasets augmented by the synthesized samples lead to significant improvements in accuracy. Furthermore, we introduce a novel boundary label relaxation technique that makes training robust to annotation noise and propagation artifacts along object boundaries. Our proposed methods achieve state-of-the-art mIoUs of 83.5% on Cityscapes and 82.9% on CamVid. Our single model, without model ensembles, achieves 72.8% mIoU on the KITTI semantic segmentation test set, which surpasses the winning entry of the ROB challenge 2018.

In this paper, we introduce fast segmentation convolutional neural network (Fast-SCNN), an above real-time semantic segmentation model on high resolution image data (1024x2048px) suited to efficient computation on embedded devices with low memory. Building on existing two-branch methods for fast segmentation, we introduce our `learning to downsample' module which computes low-level features for multiple resolution branches simultaneously. Our network combines spatial detail at high resolution with deep features extracted at lower resolution, yielding an accuracy of 68.0% mean intersection over union at 123.5 frames per second on Cityscapes. We also show that large scale pre-training is unnecessary. We thoroughly validate our metric in experiments with ImageNet pre-training and the coarse labeled data of Cityscapes. Finally, we show even faster computation with competitive results on subsampled inputs, without any network modifications.

Existing works often focus on searching the repeatable cell structure, while hand-designing the outer network structure that controls the spatial resolution changes. This choice simplifies the search space, but becomes increasingly problematic for dense image prediction which exhibits a lot more network level architectural variations. Therefore, we propose to search the network level structure in addition to the cell level structure, which forms a hierarchical architecture search space. We present a network level search space that includes many popular designs, and develop a formulation that allows efficient gradient-based architecture search (3 P100 GPU days on Cityscapes images). We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method on the challenging Cityscapes, PASCAL VOC 2012, and ADE20K datasets. Without any ImageNet pretraining, our architecture searched specifically for semantic image segmentation attains state-of-the-art performance.

AdapNet++ incorporates a new encoder with multiscale residual units and an efficient atrous spatial pyramid pooling (eASPP) module that has a larger effective receptive field with more than 10x fewer parameters compared to the standard ASPP, complemented with a strong decoder with a multi-resolution supervision scheme that recovers high-resolution details. Comprehensive empirical evaluations on the challenging Cityscapes, Synthia, SUN RGB-D, ScanNet and Freiburg Forest datasets demonstrate that our architecture achieves state-of-the-art performance while simultaneously being efficient in terms of both the number of parameters and inference time.

SSMAyesyesyesyesnonoyesyesnononono82.362.391.581.7n/ayesyes Self-Supervised Model Adaptation for Multimodal Semantic SegmentationAbhinav Valada, Rohit Mohan, Wolfram BurgardIJCV 2019Learning to reliably perceive and understand the scene is an integral enabler for robots to operate in the real-world. This problem is inherently challenging due to the multitude of object types as well as appearance changes caused by varying illumination and weather conditions. Leveraging
complementary modalities can enable learning of semantically richer representations that are resilient to such perturbations. Despite the tremendous progress in recent years, most multimodal convolutional neural network approaches directly concatenate feature maps from individual modality streams
rendering the model incapable of focusing only on the relevant complementary information for fusion. To address this limitation, we propose a mutimodal semantic segmentation framework that dynamically adapts the fusion of modality-specific features while being sensitive to the object category, spatial location and scene context in a self-supervised manner. Specifically, we propose an architecture consisting of two modality-specific encoder streams that fuse intermediate encoder representations into a single decoder using our proposed SSMA fusion mechanism which optimally combines complementary features. As intermediate representations are not aligned across modalities, we introduce an attention scheme for better correlation. Extensive experimental evaluations on the challenging Cityscapes, Synthia, SUN RGB-D, ScanNet and Freiburg Forest datasets demonstrate that our architecture achieves state-of-the-art performance in addition to providing exceptional robustness in adverse perceptual conditions.

The multi-scale context module refers to the operations to aggregate feature responses from a large spatial extent, while the single-stage encoder-decoder structure encodes the high-level semantic information in the encoder path and recovers the boundary information in the decoder path. In contrast, multi-stage encoder-decoder networks have been widely used in human pose estimation and show superior performance than their single-stage counterpart. However, few efforts have been attempted to bring this effective design to semantic segmentation. In this work, we propose a Semantic Prediction Guidance (SPG) module which learns to re-weight the local features through the guidance from pixel-wise semantic prediction. We find that by carefully re-weighting features across stages, a two-stage encoder-decoder network coupled with our proposed SPG module can significantly outperform its one-stage counterpart with similar parameters and computations. Finally, we report experimental results on the semantic segmentation benchmark Cityscapes, in which our SPGNet attains 81.1% on the test set using only 'fine' annotations.

Our network uses group point-wise and depth-wise dilated separable convolutions to learn representations from a large effective receptive field with fewer FLOPs and parameters. The performance of our network is evaluated on three different tasks: (1) object classification, (2) semantic segmentation, and (3) language modeling. Experiments on these tasks, including image classification on the ImageNet and language modeling on the PenTree bank dataset, demonstrate the superior performance of our method over the state-of-the-art methods. Our network has better generalization properties than ShuffleNetv2 when tested on the MSCOCO multi-object classification task and the Cityscapes urban scene semantic segmentation task. Our experiments show that ESPNetv2 is much more power efficient than existing state-of-the-art efficient methods including ShuffleNets and MobileNets.

er vision, which is to assign a category label to each pixel
in an image. Despite significant progress achieved recently,
most existing methods still suffer from two challenging is-
sues: 1) the size of objects and stuff in an image can be very
diverse, demanding for incorporating multi-scale features
into the fully convolutional networks (FCNs); 2) the pixel-
s close to or at the boundaries of object/stuff are hard to
classify due to the intrinsic weakness of convolutional net-
works. To address the first issue, we propose a new Multi-
Receptive Field Module (MRFM), explicitly taking multi-
scale features into account. For the second issue, we design
an edge-aware loss which is effective in distinguishing the
boundaries of object/stuff. With these two designs, our Mul-
ti Receptive Field Network achieves new state-of-the-art re-
sults on two widely-used semantic segmentation benchmark
datasets. Specifically, we achieve a mean IoU of 83.0% on
the Cityscapes dataset and 88.4% mean IoU on the Pascal

Real-time semantic segmentation is desirable in many robotic applications with limited computation resources. One challenge of semantic segmentation is to deal with the objectscalevariationsandleveragethecontext.Howtoperform multi-scale context aggregation within limited computation budget is important. In this paper, firstly, we introduce a novel and efficient module called Cascaded Factorized Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (CF-ASPP). It is a lightweight cascaded structure for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to efficiently leverage context information. On the other hand, for runtime efficiency, state-of-the-art methods will quickly decrease the spatial size of the inputs or feature maps in the early network stages. The final high-resolution result is usuallyobtainedbynon-parametricup-samplingoperation(e.g. bilinear interpolation). Differently, we rethink this pipeline and treat it as a super-resolution process. We use optimized superresolution operation in the up-sampling step and improve the accuracy, especially in sub-sampled input image scenario for real-time applications. By fusing the above two improvements, our methods provide better latency-accuracy trade-off than the other state-of-the-art methods. In particular, we achieve 68.4% mIoU at 84 fps on the Cityscapes test set with a single Nivida Titan X (Maxwell) GPU card. The proposed module can be plugged into any feature extraction CNN and benefits from the CNN structure development.

Utilizing neural architecture search (NAS), FasterSeg is discovered from a novel and broader search space integrating multi-resolution branches, that has been recently found to be vital in manually designed segmentation models. To better calibrate the balance between the goals of high accuracy and low latency, we propose a decoupled and fine-grained latency regularization, that effectively overcomes our observed phenomenons that the searched networks are prone to "collapsing" to low-latency yet poor-accuracy models. Moreover, we seamlessly extend FasterSeg to a new collaborative search (co-searching) framework, simultaneously searching for a teacher and a student network in the same single run. The teacher-student distillation further boosts the student model's accuracy. Experiments on popular segmentation benchmarks demonstrate the competency of FasterSeg. For example, FasterSeg can run over 30% faster than the closest manually designed competitor on Cityscapes, while maintaining comparable accuracy.

Our insight is that appealing performance of semantic segmentation re- quires explicitly modeling the object body and edge, which correspond to the high and low frequency of the image. To do so, we first warp the image feature by learning a flow field to make the object part more consistent. The resulting body feature and the residual edge feature are further optimized under decoupled supervision by explicitly sampling dif- ferent parts (body or edge) pixels. The code and models have been released.

However, existing NAS algorithms usually compromise on restricted search space and search on proxy task to meet the achievable computational demands. To allow as wide as possible network architectures and avoid the gap between target and proxy dataset, we propose a Densely Connected NAS (DCNAS) framework, which directly searches the optimal network structures for the multi-scale representations of visual information, over a large-scale target dataset. Specifically, by connecting cells with each other using learnable weights, we introduce a densely connected search space to cover an abundance of mainstream network designs. Moreover, by combining both path-level and channel-level sampling strategies, we design a fusion module to reduce the memory consumption of ample search space.

Self-attention has been adopted to augment CNNs with non-local interactions.

Collins, Ekin D. Cubuk, Barret Zoph, Hartwig Adam, Jonathon ShlensSupervised learning in large discriminative models is a mainstay for modern computer vision. Such an approach necessitates investing in large-scale human-annotated datasets for achieving state-of-the-art results. In turn, the efficacy of supervised learning may be limited by the size of the human annotated dataset. This limitation is particularly notable for image segmentation tasks, where the expense of human annotation is especially large, yet large amounts of unlabeled data may exist. In this work, we ask if we may leverage semi-supervised learning in unlabeled video sequences to improve the performance on urban scene segmentation, simultaneously tackling semantic, instance, and panoptic segmentation. The goal of this work is to avoid the construction of sophisticated, learned architectures specific to label propagation (e.g., patch matching and optical flow). Instead, we simply predict pseudo-labels for the unlabeled data and train subsequent models with both human-annotated and pseudo-labeled data. The procedure is iterated for several times. As a result, our Naive-Student model, trained with such simple yet effective iterative semi-supervised learning, attains state-of-the-art results at all three Cityscapes benchmarks, reaching the performance of 67.8% PQ, 42.6% AP, and 85.2% mIOU on the test set. We view this work as a notable step towards building a simple procedure to harness unlabeled video sequences to surpass state-of-the-art performance on core computer vision tasks.

However, due to the huge quantity of details contained in an image and the large variations of objects in scale and appearance, the existing semantic segmentation methods often break one object into pieces, or confuse adjacent objects and thus fail to depict these objects consistently. To address this issue, we propose a concise and effective edge-aware neural network (EaNet) for urban scene semantic segmentation. The proposed EaNet model is deployed as a standard balanced encoder-decoder framework. Specifically, we devised two plug-and-play modules that append on top of the encoder and decoder respectively, i.e., the large kernel pyramid pooling (LKPP) and the edge-aware loss (EA loss) function, to extend the model ability in learning discriminating features. The LKPP module captures rich multi-scale context with strong continuous feature relations to promote coherent labeling of multi-scale urban objects. The EA loss module learns edge information directly from semantic segmentation prediction, which avoids costly post-processing or extra edge detection. During training, EA loss imposes a strong geometric awareness to guide object structure learning at both the pixel- and image-level, and thus effectively separates confusing objects with sharp contours.

Such scene comprehension necessitates recognizing instances of traffic participants along with general scene semantics which can be effectively addressed by the panoptic segmentation task. In this paper, we introduce the Efficient Panoptic Segmentation (EfficientPS) architecture that consists of a shared backbone which efficiently encodes and fuses semantically rich multi-scale features. We incorporate a new semantic head that aggregates fine and contextual features coherently and a new variant of Mask R-CNN as the instance head. We also propose a novel panoptic fusion module that congruously integrates the output logits from both the heads of our EfficientPS architecture to yield the final panoptic segmentation output. Additionally, we introduce the KITTI panoptic segmentation dataset that contains panoptic annotations for the popularly challenging KITTI benchmark. Extensive evaluations on Cityscapes, KITTI, Mapillary Vistas and Indian Driving Dataset demonstrate that our proposed architecture consistently sets the new state-of-the-art on all these four benchmarks while being the most efficient and fast panoptic segmentation architecture to date.

In recent years, deep neural networks achieve good accuracy performance; however, there exist few models that have a good trade-off between high accuracy and low inference time. In this paper, we propose a fast spatial feature network (FSFNet), an optimized lightweight semantic segmentation model using an accelerator, offering high performance as well as faster inference speed than current methods. FSFNet employs the FSF and MRA modules. The FSF module has three different types of subset modules to extract spatial features efficiently. They are designed in consideration of the size of the spatial domain. The multi-resolution aggregation module combines features that are extracted at different resolutions to reconstruct the segmentation image accurately. Our approach is able to run at over 203 FPS at full resolution 1024 x 2048) in a single NVIDIA 1080Ti GPU, and obtains a result of 69.13% mIoU on the Cityscapes test dataset. Compared with existing models in real-time semantic segmentation, our proposed model retains remarkable accuracy while having high FPS that is over 30% faster than the state-of-the-art model. The experimental results proved that our model is an ideal approach for the Cityscapes dataset.

Hierarchical Multi-Scale Attention for Semantic Segmentationyesyesyesyesnononononononono85.470.493.285.4n/ayesyesHierarchical Multi-Scale Attention for Semantic SegmentationAndrew Tao, Karan Sapra, Bryan Catanzaro Multi-scale inference is commonly used to improve the results of semantic segmentation. Multiple images scales are passed through a network and then the results are combined with averaging or max pooling. In this work, we present an attention-based approach to combining multi-scale predictions. We show that predictions at certain scales are better at resolving particular failures modes and that the network learns to favor those scales for such cases in order to generate better predictions. Our attention mechanism is hierarchical, which enables it to be roughly 4x more memory efficient to train than other recent approaches. In addition to enabling faster training, this allows us to train with larger crop sizes which leads to greater model accuracy. We demonstrate the result of our method on two datasets: Cityscapes and Mapillary Vistas. For Cityscapes, which has a large number of weakly labelled images, we also leverage auto-labelling to improve generalization. Using our approach we achieve a new state-of-the-art results in both Mapillary (61.1 IOU val) and Cityscapes (85.4 IOU test).

Some research works have attempted to use extra information such as a depth map to help RGB based semantic segmentation because the depth map could provide complementary geometric cues. However, due to the inaccessibility of depth sensors, depth information is usually unavailable for the test images. In this paper, we leverage only the depth of training images as the privileged information to mine the hard pixels in semantic segmentation, in which depth information is only available for training images but not available for test images. Specifically, we propose a novel Loss Weight Module, which outputs a loss weight map by employing two depth-related measurements of hard pixels: Depth Prediction Error and Depthaware Segmentation Error. The loss weight map is then applied to segmentation loss, with the goal of learning a more robust model by paying more attention to the hard pixels. Besides, we also explore a curriculum learning strategy based on the loss weight map. Meanwhile, to fully mine the hard pixels on different scales, we apply our loss weight module to multi-scale side outputs. Our hard pixels mining method achieves the state-of-the-art results on three benchmark datasets, and even outperforms the methods which need depth input during testing.

A naive merge of the constituent datasets yields poor performance due to inconsistent taxonomies and annotation practices. We reconcile the taxonomies and bring the pixel-level annotations into alignment by relabeling more than 220,000 object masks in more than 80,000 images, requiring more than 1.34 years of collective annotator effort. The resulting composite dataset enables training a single semantic segmentation model that functions effectively across domains and generalizes to datasets that were not seen during training. We adopt zero-shot cross-dataset transfer as a benchmark to systematically evaluate a model’s robustness and show that MSeg training yields substantially more robust models in comparison to training on individual datasets or naive mixing of datasets without the presented contributions.

DSANet: Dilated Spatial Attention for Real-time Semantic Segmentation in Urban Street Scenesyesyesnononononononononono71.442.988.072.5n/anonoAnonymouswe present computationally efficient network named DSANet, which follows a two-branch strategy to tackle the problem of real-time semantic segmentation in urban scenes. We first design a Context branch, which employs Depth-wise Asymmetric ShuffleNet DAS as main building block to acquire sufficient receptive fields. In addition, we propose a dual attention module consisting of dilated spatial attention and channel attention to make full use of the multi-level feature maps simultaneously, which helps predict the pixel-wise labels in each stage. Meanwhile, Spatial Encoding Network is used to enhance semantic information by preserving the spatial details. Finally, to better combine context information and spatial information, we introduce a Simple Feature Fusion Module to combine the features from the two branches.

Instance-Level Semantic Labeling Task

In the second Cityscapes task we focus on simultaneously detecting objects and segmenting them. This is an extension to both traditional object detection, since per-instance segments must be provided, and pixel-level semantic labeling, since each instance is treated as a separate label. Therefore, algorithms are required to deliver a set of detections of traffic participants in the scene, each associated with a confidence score and a per-instance segmentation mask.

Metrics

To assess instance-level performance, we compute the average precision on the region level (AP [2]) for each class and average it across a range of overlap thresholds to avoid a bias towards a specific value. Specifically, we follow [3] and use 10 different overlaps ranging from 0.5 to 0.95 in steps of 0.05. The overlap is computed at the region level, making it equivalent to the IoU of a single instance. We penalize multiple predictions of the same ground truth instance as false positives. To obtain a single, easy to compare compound score, we report the mean average precision AP, obtained by also averaging over the class label set. As minor scores, we add AP50% for an overlap value of 50 %, as well as AP100m and AP50m where the evaluation is restricted to objects within 100 m and 50 m distance, respectively.

The former is computed from a standard CNN for semantic segmentation, and the latter is derived from a new instance-aware edge detection model. To reason globally about the optimal partitioning of an image into instances, we combine these two modalities into a novel MultiCut formulation.

S. TorrComputer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2017We propose an Instance Segmentation system that produces a segmentation map where each pixel is assigned an object class and instance identity label (this has recently been termed "Panoptic Segmentation"). Our method is based on an initial semantic segmentation module which feeds into an instance subnetwork. This subnetwork uses the initial category-level segmentation, along with cues from the output of an object detector, within an end-to-end CRF to predict instances. This part of our model is dynamically instantiated to produce a variable number of instances per image. Our end-to-end approach requires no post-processing and considers the image holistically, instead of processing independent proposals. As a result, it reasons about occlusions (unlike some related work, a single pixel cannot belong to multiple instances).

In this paper we make the observation that the performance of such systems is strongly dependent on the relative weighting between each task's loss. Tuning these weights by hand is a difficult and expensive process, making multi-task learning prohibitive in practice. We propose a principled approach to multi-task deep learning which weighs multiple loss functions by considering the homoscedastic uncertainty of each task. This allows us to simultaneously learn various quantities with different units or scales in both classification and regression settings. We demonstrate our model learning per-pixel depth regression, semantic and instance segmentation from a monocular input image. Perhaps surprisingly, we show our model can learn multi-task weightings and outperform separate models trained individually on each task.

Currently, many state of the art models are based on the Mask R-CNN framework which, while very powerful, outputs masks at low resolutions which could result in imprecise boundaries. On the other hand, classic variational methods for segmentation impose desirable global and local data and geometry constraints on the masks by optimizing an energy functional. While mathematically elegant, their direct dependence on good initialization, non-robust image cues and manual setting of hyperparameters renders them unsuitable for modern applications.

Collins, Ekin D. Cubuk, Barret Zoph, Hartwig Adam, Jonathon ShlensSupervised learning in large discriminative models is a mainstay for modern computer vision. Such an approach necessitates investing in large-scale human-annotated datasets for achieving state-of-the-art results. In turn, the efficacy of supervised learning may be limited by the size of the human annotated dataset. This limitation is particularly notable for image segmentation tasks, where the expense of human annotation is especially large, yet large amounts of unlabeled data may exist. In this work, we ask if we may leverage semi-supervised learning in unlabeled video sequences to improve the performance on urban scene segmentation, simultaneously tackling semantic, instance, and panoptic segmentation. The goal of this work is to avoid the construction of sophisticated, learned architectures specific to label propagation (e.g., patch matching and optical flow). Instead, we simply predict pseudo-labels for the unlabeled data and train subsequent models with both human-annotated and pseudo-labeled data. The procedure is iterated for several times. As a result, our Naive-Student model, trained with such simple yet effective iterative semi-supervised learning, attains state-of-the-art results at all three Cityscapes benchmarks, reaching the performance of 67.8% PQ, 42.6% AP, and 85.2% mIOU on the test set. We view this work as a notable step towards building a simple procedure to harness unlabeled video sequences to surpass state-of-the-art performance on core computer vision tasks.

Such scene comprehension necessitates recognizing instances of traffic participants along with general scene semantics which can be effectively addressed by the panoptic segmentation task. In this paper, we introduce the Efficient Panoptic Segmentation (EfficientPS) architecture that consists of a shared backbone which efficiently encodes and fuses semantically rich multi-scale features. We incorporate a new semantic head that aggregates fine and contextual features coherently and a new variant of Mask R-CNN as the instance head. We also propose a novel panoptic fusion module that congruously integrates the output logits from both the heads of our EfficientPS architecture to yield the final panoptic segmentation output. Additionally, we introduce the KITTI panoptic segmentation dataset that contains panoptic annotations for the popularly challenging KITTI benchmark. Extensive evaluations on Cityscapes, KITTI, Mapillary Vistas and Indian Driving Dataset demonstrate that our proposed architecture consistently sets the new state-of-the-art on all these four benchmarks while being the most efficient and fast panoptic segmentation architecture to date.

The boundaries of predicted instance masks are usually imprecise due to the low spatial resolution of feature maps and the imbalance problem caused by the extremely low proportion of boundary pixels. To address these issues, we propose a conceptually simple yet effective post-processing refinement framework to improve the boundary quality based on the results of any instance segmentation model, termed BPR. Following the idea of looking closer to segment boundaries better, we extract and refine a series of small boundary patches along the predicted instance boundaries. The refinement is accomplished by a boundary patch refinement network at higher resolution. The proposed BPR framework yields significant improvements over the Mask R-CNN baseline on Cityscapes benchmark, especially on the boundary-aware metrics. Moreover, by applying the BPR framework to the PolyTransform + SegFix baseline, we reached 1st place on the Cityscapes leaderboard.

This reduces computation complexity and allows performing attention within a larger or even global region. In companion, we also propose a position-sensitive self-attention design. Combining both yields our position-sensitive axial-attention layer, a novel building block that one could stack to form axial-attention models for image classification and dense prediction. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our model on four large-scale datasets. In particular, our model outperforms all existing stand-alone self-attention models on ImageNet. Our Axial-DeepLab improves 2.8% PQ over bottom-up state-of-the-art on COCO test-dev. This previous state-of-the-art is attained by our small variant that is 3.8x parameter-efficient and 27x computation-efficient. Axial-DeepLab also achieves state-of-the-art results on Mapillary Vistas and Cityscapes.

Collins, Ekin D. Cubuk, Barret Zoph, Hartwig Adam, Jonathon ShlensSupervised learning in large discriminative models is a mainstay for modern computer vision. Such an approach necessitates investing in large-scale human-annotated datasets for achieving state-of-the-art results. In turn, the efficacy of supervised learning may be limited by the size of the human annotated dataset. This limitation is particularly notable for image segmentation tasks, where the expense of human annotation is especially large, yet large amounts of unlabeled data may exist. In this work, we ask if we may leverage semi-supervised learning in unlabeled video sequences to improve the performance on urban scene segmentation, simultaneously tackling semantic, instance, and panoptic segmentation. The goal of this work is to avoid the construction of sophisticated, learned architectures specific to label propagation (e.g., patch matching and optical flow). Instead, we simply predict pseudo-labels for the unlabeled data and train subsequent models with both human-annotated and pseudo-labeled data. The procedure is iterated for several times. As a result, our Naive-Student model, trained with such simple yet effective iterative semi-supervised learning, attains state-of-the-art results at all three Cityscapes benchmarks, reaching the performance of 67.8% PQ, 42.6% AP, and 85.2% mIOU on the test set. We view this work as a notable step towards building a simple procedure to harness unlabeled video sequences to surpass state-of-the-art performance on core computer vision tasks.

In this paper, we introduce the Efficient Panoptic Segmentation (EfficientPS) architecture that consists of a shared backbone which efficiently encodes and fuses semantically rich multi-scale features. We incorporate a new semantic head that aggregates fine and contextual features coherently and a new variant of Mask R-CNN as the instance head. We also propose a novel panoptic fusion module that congruously integrates the output logits from both the heads of our EfficientPS architecture to yield the final panoptic segmentation output. Additionally, we introduce the KITTI panoptic segmentation dataset that contains panoptic annotations for the popularly challenging KITTI benchmark. Extensive evaluations on Cityscapes, KITTI, Mapillary Vistas and Indian Driving Dataset demonstrate that our proposed architecture consistently sets the new state-of-the-art on all these four benchmarks while being the most efficient and fast panoptic segmentation architecture to date.

Its network capacity is further scaled up or down by adjusting the width (i.e., channel size) and depth (i.e., number of layers), resulting in a family of SWideRNets (short for Scaling Wide Residual Networks).

3D Vehicle Detection Task

The fourth Cityscapes task was added in 2020 and focuses on 3D Object Detection for vehicles to estimate their 3D parameters like orientation and location. Objects of class car, truck, bus, train, motorcycle, and bicycle are evaluated. Each object is described by an amodal 2D bounding box as well as a 9 degree-of-freedom 3D bounding box: center position, dimensions and orientation.

Metrics

In this task, both 2D and 3D parameters are evaluated. 2D Average Precision (AP) is used to assess the ability to detect the objects of interest within the image and match predictions and ground truth objects. In addition, for each true positive pair of detection and ground truth, the 3D parameters (location, orientation, and size) are evaluated individually using depth dependent true positive metrics for location (BEV), orientation (OS Yaw and OS PitchRoll), and dimensions (SizeSim) as described in [5]. Objects up to a distance of 100 m are taken into account with a step size of 5 m. Detections within an ignore region are not considered in the evaluation.

For each label class a detection score (DS) is calculated as DS = AP x (BEV + OS_Yaw + OS_PitchRoll + SizeSim) / 4.

The average scores over all classes are used to score the submissions.

Hence, the runtime is kept close to pure 2D object detection. The additional parameters are transformed to 3D bounding box keypoints within the network under geometric constraints. 3D-GCK features a full 3D description including all three angles of rotation without supervision by any labeled ground truth data for the object's orientation, as it focuses on certain keypoints within the image plane.
