• Title: Monocular Depth Estimation Using Multi Scale Neural Network And Feature Fusion
• Authors: Abhinav Sagar
• Abstract summary: Our network uses two different blocks, first which uses different filter sizes for convolution and merges all the individual feature maps. The second block uses dilated convolutions in place of fully connected layers thus reducing computations and increasing the receptive field. We train and test our network on Make 3D dataset, NYU Depth V2 dataset and Kitti dataset using standard evaluation metrics for depth estimation comprised of RMSE loss and SILog loss.

• Abstract: Depth estimation from monocular images is a challenging problem in computer vision. In this paper, we tackle this problem using a novel network architecture using multi scale feature fusion. Our network uses two different blocks, first which uses different filter sizes for convolution and merges all the individual feature maps. The second block uses dilated convolutions in place of fully connected layers thus reducing computations and increasing the receptive field. We present a new loss function for training the network which uses a depth regression term, SSIM loss term and a multinomial logistic loss term combined. We train and test our network on Make 3D dataset, NYU Depth V2 dataset and Kitti dataset using standard evaluation metrics for depth estimation comprised of RMSE loss and SILog loss. Our network outperforms previous state of the art methods with lesser parameters.

  This paper presents an end-to-end deep reinforcement learning solution for target search and coverage. We show that deep hierarchical feature learning works for RL and that by using farthest point sampling (FPS) we can reduce the amount of points. We also show that multi-head attention for point-clouds helps to learn the agent faster but converges to the same outcome.

  We present an advanced Dilated Fully Convolutional Neural Network to address the deficiencies of traditional CNNs. Taking advantages of the exponential expansion of the receptive field in dilated convolutions, our model can minimize the loss of resolution. We show experimentally on NYU Depth V2 datasets that the depth prediction obtained from our model is considerably closer to ground truth than that from traditional CNNs techniques.

  Recent researches have achieved great progress on single image super-resolution(SISR) In these method, the high resolution input image is down-scaled to low resolution space using a single filter, commonly max-pooling, before feature extraction. We demonstrate that this is sub-optimal and causes information loss. In this work, we proposed a state-of-the-art convolutional neural network method called Dense U-net with shuffle pooling.
