• Abstract: In this paper, we focus on designing effective method for fast and accurate scene parsing. A common practice to improve the performance is to attain high resolution feature maps with strong semantic representation. Two strategies are widely used -- atrous convolutions and feature pyramid fusion, are either computation intensive or ineffective. Inspired by the Optical Flow for motion alignment between adjacent video frames, we propose a Flow Alignment Module (FAM) to learn Semantic Flow between feature maps of adjacent levels, and broadcast high-level features to high resolution features effectively and efficiently. Furthermore, integrating our module to a common feature pyramid structure exhibits superior performance over other real-time methods even on light-weight backbone networks, such as ResNet-18. Extensive experiments are conducted on several challenging datasets, including Cityscapes, PASCAL Context, ADE20K and CamVid. Especially, our network is the first to achieve 80.4\% mIoU on Cityscapes with a frame rate of 26 FPS. The code is available at \url{https://github.com/lxtGH/SFSegNets}.

  We present a novel Stage-aware Feature Alignment Network (SFANet) for real-time semantic segmentation of street scenes. By taking into account the unique role of each stage in the decoder, a novel stage-aware Feature Enhancement Block (FEB) is designed to enhance spatial details and contextual information of feature maps from the encoder. Experimental results show that the proposed SFANet exhibits a good balance between accuracy and speed for real-time semantic segmentation of street scenes.

  Real-time and online action localization in a video is a critical yet highly challenging problem.

We propose utilizing fast and efficient key-point based bounding box prediction to spatially localize actions. Our model achieves a frame rate of 41.8 FPS, which is a 10.7% improvement over contemporary real-time methods.

  Space-time video super-resolution (ST-VSR) simultaneously increases the spatial resolution and frame rate for a given video. Existing methods typically suffer from difficulties in how to efficiently leverage information from a large range of neighboring frames. We propose a coarse-to-fine bidirectional recurrent neural network instead of using ConvLSTM to leverage knowledge between adjacent frames.

We propose 'Progressive Temporal Feature Alignment Network', which progressively enriches features extracted from the current frame with the warped feature from neighbouring frames.
