• Abstract summary: We propose a novel logical refinement network for crisp edge detection, which is motivated by the logical relationship between segmentation and edge maps. The network consists of a joint object and edge detection network and a crisp edge refinement network, which predicts more accurate, clearer and thinner high quality binary edge maps.

• Abstract: Edge detection is a fundamental problem in different computer vision tasks. Recently, edge detection algorithms achieve satisfying improvement built upon deep learning. Although most of them report favorable evaluation scores, they often fail to accurately localize edges and give thick and blurry boundaries. In addition, most of them focus on 2D images and the challenging 3D edge detection is still under-explored. In this work, we propose a novel logical refinement network for crisp edge detection, which is motivated by the logical relationship between segmentation and edge maps and can be applied to both 2D and 3D images. The network consists of a joint object and edge detection network and a crisp edge refinement network, which predicts more accurate, clearer and thinner high quality binary edge maps without any post-processing. Extensive experiments are conducted on the 2D nuclei images from Kaggle 2018 Data Science Bowl and a private 3D microscopy images of a monkey brain, which show outstanding performance compared with state-of-the-art methods.

  Edge detection is a fundamental task in computer vision. Recent top-performing edge detection methods tend to generate thick and noisy edge lines. We propose a second-order derivative-based multi-scale contextual enhancement module (SDMCM) to help the model locate true edge pixels accurately. We also construct a hybrid focal loss function (HFL) to alleviate the imbalanced distribution issue. In the end, we propose a U-shape network named LUS-Net which is based on the SDMCM and BRM for edge detection.

  DetMatch is a flexible framework for joint semi-supervised learning on 2D and 3D modalities. By identifying objects detected in both sensors, our pipeline generates a cleaner, more robust set of pseudo-labels. We leverage the richer semantics of RGB images to rectify incorrect 3D class predictions and improve localization of 3D boxes.

We train a specialized global-local network architecture with what would be available to a robot interacting with the environment. Experiments on several datasets show that, when ground truth is available even for just one of the image pixels, the proposed network can learn monocular dense depth estimation up to 22.5% more accurately than state-of-the-art approaches.
