• Abstract: In this work, we aim for temporally consistent semantic segmentation throughout frames in a video. Many semantic segmentation algorithms process images individually which leads to an inconsistent scene interpretation due to illumination changes, occlusions and other variations over time. To achieve a temporally consistent prediction, we train a convolutional neural network (CNN) which propagates features through consecutive frames in a video using a convolutional long short term memory (ConvLSTM) cell. Besides the temporal feature propagation, we penalize inconsistencies in our loss function. We show in our experiments that the performance improves when utilizing video information compared to single frame prediction. The mean intersection over union (mIoU) metric on the Cityscapes validation set increases from 45.2 % for the single frames to 57.9 % for video data after implementing the ConvLSTM to propagate features trough time on the ESPNet. Most importantly, inconsistency decreases from 4.5 % to 1.3 % which is a reduction by 71.1 %. Our results indicate that the added temporal information produces a frame-to-frame consistent and more accurate image understanding compared to single frame processing.

  Video object segmentation (VOS) networks typically use memory-based methods. These methods suffer from two issues: 1) Challenging data can destroy the space-time coherence between adjacent video frames, and 2) Pixel-level matching will lead to undesired mismatching. In this paper, we propose to generate an auxiliary frame between adjacent frames, serving as an implicit short-temporal reference for the query one.

  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.

  An effective recipe for building seq2seq, non-autoregressive, task-orienteds to map utterances to semantic frames proceeds in three steps. These models are typically bottlenecked by length prediction. In our work, we propose non-autoregressives which shift the decoding task from text generation to span prediction.

  Current approaches for Semi-supervised Video Object (Semi-VOS) propagates information from previous frames to generate segmentation mask for the current frame. We exploit this observation by using temporal information to quickly identify frames with minimal change. We propose a novel dynamic network that estimates change across frames and decides which path -- computing a full network or reusing previous frame's feature -- to choose.
