• Abstract summary: We propose a novel architecture called the Multi-view Self-Constructing Graph Convolutional Networks (MSCG-Net) for semantic segmentation. We leverage multiple views in order to explicitly exploit the rotational invariance in airborne images. We demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed method on the Agriculture-Vision challenge and our model achieves very competitive results.

• Abstract: We propose a novel architecture called the Multi-view Self-Constructing Graph Convolutional Networks (MSCG-Net) for semantic segmentation. Building on the recently proposed Self-Constructing Graph (SCG) module, which makes use of learnable latent variables to self-construct the underlying graphs directly from the input features without relying on manually built prior knowledge graphs, we leverage multiple views in order to explicitly exploit the rotational invariance in airborne images. We further develop an adaptive class weighting loss to address the class imbalance. We demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed method on the Agriculture-Vision challenge dataset and our model achieves very competitive results (0.547 mIoU) with much fewer parameters and at a lower computational cost compared to related pure-CNN based work. Code will be available at: github.com/samleoqh/MSCG-Net

  Modelling long-range dependencies is critical for scene understanding tasks in computer vision. A fully-connected graph is beneficial for such modelling, but its computational overhead is prohibitive. We propose a dynamic graph message passing network, that significantly reduces the computational complexity.

  We propose an unsupervised graph structure learning paradigm, where the learned graph topology is optimized by data itself without any external guidance. Specifically, we generate a learning target from the original data as an "anchor graph", and use a contrastive loss to maximize the agreement between the anchor graph and the learned graph.

  This work addresses weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS), with the goal of bridging the gap between image-level annotations and pixel-level segmentation. We formulate WSSS as a novel group-wise learning task that explicitly models semantic dependencies in a group of images to estimate more reliable pseudo ground-truths. In particular, we devise a graph neural network (GNN) for group-wise semantic mining, wherein input images are represented as graph nodes.
