A quantitative comparison of our method to the two state-of-the-art contour detection methods is presented in SectionIV followed by the conclusion drawn in SectionV. Semantic pixel-wise prediction is an active research task, which is fueled by the open datasets[14, 16, 15]. Some examples of object proposals are demonstrated in Figure5(d). As the contour and non-contour pixels are extremely imbalanced in each minibatch, the penalty for being contour is set to be 10 times the penalty for being non-contour.

The encoder-decoder network with such refined module automatically learns multi-scale and multi-level features to well solve the contour detection issues. As a result, our method significantly improves the quality of segmented object proposals on the PASCAL VOC 2012 validation set, achieving 0.67 average recall from overlap 0.5 to 1.0 with only about 1660 candidates per image, compared to the state-of-the-art average recall 0.62 by original gPb-based MCG algorithm with near 5140 candidates per image. With the advance of texture descriptors[35], Martin et al. Lin, R.Collobert, and P.Dollr, Learning to Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised active salient object detection (SOD) method that actively acquires a small subset .

A tag already exists with the provided branch name. As combining bottom-up edges with object detector output, their method can be extended to object instance contours but might encounter challenges of generalizing to unseen object classes. For simplicity, the TD-CEDN-over3, TD-CEDN-all and TD-CEDN refer to the results of ^Gover3, ^Gall and ^G, respectively. Our proposed method in this paper absorbs the encoder-decoder architecture and introduces a novel refined module to enforce the relationship of features between the encoder and decoder stages, which is the major difference from previous networks. Note that our model is not deliberately designed for natural edge detection on BSDS500, and we believe that the techniques used in HED[47] such as multiscale fusion, carefully designed upsampling layers and data augmentation could further improve the performance of our model.

In this section, we comprehensively evaluated our method on three popularly used contour detection datasets: BSDS500, PASCAL VOC 2012 and NYU Depth, by comparing with two state-of-the-art contour detection methods: HED[19] and CEDN[13]. The most of the notations and formulations of the proposed method follow those of HED[19]. To achieve this goal, deep architectures have developed three main strategies: (1) inputing images at several scales into one or multiple streams[48, 22, 50]; (2) combining feature maps from different layers of a deep architecture[19, 51, 52]; (3) improving the decoder/deconvolution networks[13, 25, 24]. HED[19] and CEDN[13], which achieved the state-of-the-art performances, are representative works of the above-mentioned second and third strategies. Please follow the instructions below to run the code.

The Pb work of Martin et al. With the development of deep networks, the best performances of contour detection have been continuously improved. We believe our instance-level object contours will provide another strong cue for addressing this problem that is worth investigating in the future. We find that the learned model . Different from previous low-level edge detection, our algorithm focuses on detecting higher-level object contours. There are several previously researched deep learning-based crop disease diagnosis solutions. 0 benchmarks It is apparently a very challenging ill-posed problem due to the partial observability while projecting 3D scenes onto 2D image planes. All the decoder convolution layers except deconv6 use 55, kernels. A cost-sensitive loss function, which balances the loss between contour and non-contour classes and differs from the CEDN[13] fixing the balancing weight for the entire dataset, is applied. Our network is trained end-to-end on PASCAL VOC with refined ground truth from inaccurate polygon annotations, yielding much higher precision in object contour detection than previous methods. invasive coronary angiograms, Pixel-wise Ear Detection with Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Networks, MSDPN: Monocular Depth Prediction with Partial Laser Observation using For a training image I, =|I||I| and 1=|I|+|I| where |I|, |I| and |I|+ refer to total number of all pixels, non-contour (negative) pixels and contour (positive) pixels, respectively. Moreover, to suppress the image-border contours appeared in the results of CEDN, we applied a simple image boundary region extension method to enlarge the input image 10 pixels around the image during the testing stage. Directly using contour coordinates to describe text regions will make the modeling inadequate and lead to low accuracy of text detection. No evaluation results yet. 30 Apr 2019. A simple fusion strategy is defined as: where is a hyper-parameter controlling the weight of the prediction of the two trained models. The combining process can be stack step-by-step. This work builds on recent work that uses convolutional neural networks to classify category-independent region proposals (R-CNN), introducing a novel architecture tailored for SDS, and uses category-specific, top-down figure-ground predictions to refine the bottom-up proposals. visual attributes (e.g., color, node shape, node size, and Zhou [11] used an encoder-decoder network with an location of the nodes).

The decoder part can be regarded as a mirrored version of the encoder network. In this paper, we scale up the training set of deep learning based contour detection to more than 10k images on PASCAL VOC[14]. Recently, the supervised deep learning methods, such as deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have achieved the state-of-the-art performances in such field, including, In this paper, we develop a pixel-wise and end-to-end contour detection system, Top-Down Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Network (TD-CEDN), which is inspired by the success of Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN)[23], HED, Encoder-Decoder networks[24, 25, 13] and the bottom-up/top-down architecture[26]. connected crfs. Compared to PASCAL VOC, there are 60 unseen object classes for our CEDN contour detector. Fig. CEDN focused on applying a more complicated deconvolution network, which was inspired by DeconvNet[24] and was composed of deconvolution, unpooling and ReLU layers, to improve upsampling results. Image labeling is a task that requires both high-level knowledge and low-level cues. At the same time, many works have been devoted to edge detection that responds to both foreground objects and background boundaries (Figure1 (b)). Proceedings of the IEEE NeurIPS 2018.

Amer, S.Yousefi, R.Raich, and S.Todorovic, Monocular extraction of This work claims that recognizing objects and predicting contours are two mutually related tasks, and shows that it can invert the commonly established pipeline: instead of detecting contours with low-level cues for a higher-level recognition task, it exploits object-related features as high- level cues for contour detection. Our [37] combined color, brightness and texture gradients in their probabilistic boundary detector. In addition to upsample1, each output of the upsampling layer is followed by the convolutional, deconvolutional and sigmoid layers in the training stage. . Bibliographic details on Object Contour Detection with a Fully Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Network. We show we can fine tune our network for edge detection and match the state-of-the-art in terms of precision and recall. The proposed multi-tasking convolutional neural network did not employ any pre- or postprocessing step.
