• Title: Synthetic Convolutional Features for Improved Semantic Segmentation
• Authors: Yang He and Bernt Schiele and Mario Fritz
• Abstract summary: We suggest to generate intermediate convolutional features and propose the first synthesis approach that is catered to such intermediate convolutional features. This allows us to generate new features from label masks and include them successfully into the training procedure. Experimental results and analysis on two challenging datasets Cityscapes and ADE20K show that our generated feature improves performance on segmentation tasks.

• Abstract: Recently, learning-based image synthesis has enabled to generate high-resolution images, either applying popular adversarial training or a powerful perceptual loss. However, it remains challenging to successfully leverage synthetic data for improving semantic segmentation with additional synthetic images. Therefore, we suggest to generate intermediate convolutional features and propose the first synthesis approach that is catered to such intermediate convolutional features. This allows us to generate new features from label masks and include them successfully into the training procedure in order to improve the performance of semantic segmentation. Experimental results and analysis on two challenging datasets Cityscapes and ADE20K show that our generated feature improves performance on segmentation tasks.

  We identify two critical challenges in CISS that contribute to semantic drift and degrade performance. First, we highlight the issue of separate optimization, where different parts of the model are optimized in distinct incremental stages. Second, we identify noisy semantics arising from inappropriate pseudo-labeling, which results in sub-optimal results.

  We introduce a novel framework called bridged transfer, which initially employs synthetic images for fine-tuning a pre-trained model to improve its transferability. We propose dataset style inversion strategy to improve the stylistic alignment between synthetic and real images.

  We introduce the Deep Semantic Statistics Matching (D2SM) Denoising Network. It exploits semantic features of pretrained classification networks, then it implicitly matches the probabilistic distribution of clear images at the semantic feature space. By learning to preserve the semantic distribution of denoised images, we empirically find our method significantly improves the denoising capabilities of networks.

Finally, we validate the performance gain of the proposed method on the Cityscapes dataset, which helps us achieve state-of-the-art results for a semi-supervised joint model based on depth and semantic

  We provide the first study on semantic image segmentation and introduce two new approaches: textitSmartAugment and textitSmartSamplingAugment. SmartAugment uses Bayesian Optimization to search over a rich space of augmentation strategies and achieves a new state-of-the-art performance in all semantic segmentation tasks we consider. SmartSamplingAugment, a simple parameter-free approach with a fixed augmentation strategy competes in performance with the existing resource-intensive approaches and outperforms cheap state-of-the-art data augmentation methods.

The local shape discrepancies between the warped and non-warped label maps and images enable the GAN to learn better the structural and geometric details of the scene.
