• Title: Real-Time Segmentation Networks should be Latency Aware
• Authors: Evann Courdier and Francois Fleuret
• Abstract summary: We argue that the commonly used performance metric of mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) does not fully capture the information required to estimate the true performance of these networks when they operate inreal-time' We propose a change of objective in the segmentation task, and its associated metric that encapsulates this missing information in the following way: We propose to predict the future output segmentation map that will match the future input frame at the time when the network finishes the processing.

• Abstract: As scene segmentation systems reach visually accurate results, many recent papers focus on making these network architectures faster, smaller and more efficient. In particular, studies often aim at designingreal-time'systems. Achieving this goal is particularly relevant in the context of real-time video understanding for autonomous vehicles, and robots. In this paper, we argue that the commonly used performance metric of mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) does not fully capture the information required to estimate the true performance of these networks when they operate inreal-time'. We propose a change of objective in the segmentation task, and its associated metric that encapsulates this missing information in the following way: We propose to predict the future output segmentation map that will match the future input frame at the time when the network finishes the processing. We introduce the associated latency-aware metric, from which we can determine a ranking. We perform latency timing experiments of some recent networks on different hardware and assess the performances of these networks on our proposed task. We propose improvements to scene segmentation networks to better perform on our task by using multi-frames input and increasing capacity in the initial convolutional layers.

  We propose a novel framework to speed up any architecture with skip-connections for real-time vision tasks. Specifically, at the arrival of each frame, we transform the features from the previous frame to reuse them at specific spatial bins. We then perform partial computation of the backbone network on the regions of the current frame that captures temporal differences between the current and previous frame.

  We propose to tackle the task of fast future video segmentation prediction through the use of convolutional layers with time-dependent channel masking. This technique only updates a chosen subset of the feature maps at each time-step, bringing simultaneously less computation and latency. We apply this technique to several fast architectures and experimentally confirm its benefits for the future prediction subtask.
