object contour detection with a fully convolutional encoder decoder network

By combining with the multiscale combinatorial grouping algorithm, our method can generate high-quality segmented object proposals, which significantly advance the state-of-the-art on PASCAL VOC (improving average recall from 0.62 to 0.67) with a relatively small amount of candidates (~1660 per image). The number of channels of every decoder layer is properly designed to allow unpooling from its corresponding max-pooling layer. For this task, we prioritise the effective utilization of the high-level abstraction capability of a ResNet, which leads. it generalizes to objects like bear in the animal super-category since dog and cat are in the training set. HED integrated FCN[23] and DSN[30] to learn meaningful features from multiple level layers in a single trimmed VGG-16 net. BN and ReLU represent the batch normalization and the activation function, respectively. We initialize the encoder with pre-trained VGG-16 net and the decoder with random values. (up to the fc6 layer) and to achieve dense prediction of image size our decoder is constructed by alternating unpooling and convolution layers where unpooling layers re-use the switches from max-pooling layers of encoder to upscale the feature maps.

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. S.Liu, J.Yang, C.Huang, and M.-H. Yang. This dataset is more challenging due to its large variations of object categories, contexts and scales. Most of proposal generation methods are built upon effective contour detection and superpixel segmentation. conditional random fields, in, P.Felzenszwalb and D.McAllester, A min-cover approach for finding salient regions. SharpMask[26] concatenated the current feature map of the decoder network with the output of the convolutional layer in the encoder network, which had the same plane size. H. Lee is supported in part by NSF CAREER Grant IIS-1453651. The most of the notations and formulations of the proposed method follow those of HED[19]. Given trained models, all the test images are fed-forward through our CEDN network in their original sizes to produce contour detection maps. We find that the learned model generalizes well to unseen object classes from the same supercategories on MS COCO and can match state-of-the-art edge detection on BSDS500 with fine-tuning. 5, we trained the dataset with two strategies: (1) assigning a pixel a positive label if only if its labeled as positive by at least three annotators, otherwise this pixel was labeled as negative; (2) treating all annotated contour labels as positives. machines, in, Proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Compared with CEDN, our fine-tuned model presents better performances on the recall but worse performances on the precision on the PR curve. sparse image models for class-specific edge detection and image contours from inverse detectors, in, S.Gupta, R.Girshick, P.Arbelez, and J.Malik, Learning rich features Therefore, the weights are denoted as w={(w(1),,w(M))}.

We formulate contour detection as a binary image labeling problem where "1" and "0" indicates "contour" and "non-contour", respectively. Semi-Supervised Video Salient Object Detection Using Pseudo-Labels; Contour Loss: Boundary-Aware Learning for Salient Object Segmentation . A fully convolutional encoder-decoder network is proposed to detect the general object contours [10]. The proposed multi-tasking convolutional neural network did not employ any pre- or postprocessing step. Skip-connection is added to the encoder-decoder networks to concatenate the high- and low-level features while retaining the detailed feature information required for the up-sampled output. . .

Different from previous low-level edge detection, our algorithm focuses on detecting higher-level object contours. Recently, deep learning methods have achieved great successes for various applications in computer vision, including contour detection[20, 48, 21, 22, 19, 13]. 4.

[37] combined color, brightness and texture gradients in their probabilistic boundary detector. Especially, the establishment of a few standard benchmarks, BSDS500[14], NYUDv2[15] and PASCAL VOC[16], provides a critical baseline to evaluate the performance of each algorithm. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. View 2 excerpts, references background and methods, 2015 IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV). Different from previous low-level edge Therefore, the trained model is only sensitive to the stronger contours in the former case, while its sensitive to both the weak and strong edges in the latter case. Different from previous low-level edge detection, our algorithm focuses on detecting higher-level object contours. Unlike skip connections We develop a deep learning algorithm for contour detection with a fully convolutional encoder-decoder network. 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. A complete decoder network setup is listed in Table. Object proposals are important mid-level representations in computer vision. The U-Net architecture is synonymous with that of an encoder-decoder architecture, containing both a contraction path (encoder) and a symmetric expansion path (decoder). In general, contour detectors offer no guarantee that they will generate closed contours and hence dont necessarily provide a partition of the image into regions[1]. Being fully convolutional . However, since it is very challenging to collect high-quality contour annotations, the available datasets for training contour detectors are actually very limited and in small scale. Learn more. Concerned with the imperfect contour annotations from polygons, we have developed a refinement method based on dense CRF so that the proposed network has been trained in an end-to-end manner.

The overall loss function is formulated as: In our testing stage, the DSN side-output layers will be discarded, which differs from the HED network. Object Contour Detection with a Fully Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Network. BSDS500: The majority of our experiments were performed on the BSDS500 dataset. Note that we did not train CEDN on MS COCO. Together there are 10582 images for training and 1449 images for validation (the exact 2012 validation set). The thinned contours are obtained by applying a standard non-maximal suppression technique to the probability map of contour. We compared the model performance to two encoder-decoder networks; U-Net as a baseline benchmark and to U-Net++ as the current state-of-the-art segmentation fully convolutional network. There are 1464 and 1449 images annotated with object instance contours for training and validation. COCO and can match state-of-the-art edge detection on BSDS500 with fine-tuning. [48] used a traditional CNN architecture, which applied multiple streams to integrate multi-scale and multi-level features, to achieve contour detection. The encoder takes a variable-length sequence as input and transforms it into a state with a fixed shape. 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. BN and ReLU represent the batch normalization and the activation function, respectively. building and mountains are clearly suppressed. blog; statistics; browse.

Publisher Copyright: Recently, applying the features of the encoder network to refine the deconvolutional results has raised some studies. To address the quality issue of ground truth contour annotations, we develop a dense CRF[26] based method to refine the object segmentation masks from polygons. Inspired by the success of fully convolutional networks [36] and deconvolu-tional networks [40] on semantic segmentation, we develop a fully convolutional encoder-decoder network (CEDN). It makes sense that precisely extracting edges/contours from natural images involves visual perception of various levels[11, 12], which makes it to be a challenging problem. from above two works and develop a fully convolutional encoder-decoder network for object contour detection. Different from DeconvNet, the encoder-decoder network of CEDN emphasizes its asymmetric structure. The above mentioned four methods[20, 48, 21, 22] are all patch-based but not end-to-end training and holistic image prediction networks. 13 papers with code Though the deconvolutional layers are fixed to the linear interpolation, our experiments show outstanding performances to solve such issues. Bibliographic details on Object Contour Detection with a Fully Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Network. Yang et al. In this section, we describe our contour detection method with the proposed top-down fully convolutional encoder-decoder network. Due to the asymmetric nature of image labeling problems (image input and mask output), we break the symmetric structure of deconvolutional networks and introduce a light-weighted decoder. P.Arbelez, J.Pont-Tuset, J.Barron, F.Marques, and J.Malik. We use the DSN[30] to supervise each upsampling stage, as shown in Fig. 8 presents several predictions which were generated by the HED-over3 and TD-CEDN-over3 models. 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. AlexNet [] was a breakthrough for image classification and was extended to solve other computer vision tasks, such as image segmentation, object contour, and edge detection.The step from image classification to image segmentation with the Fully Convolutional Network (FCN) [] has favored new edge detection algorithms such as HED, as it allows a pixel-wise classification of an image.
