• Abstract summary: We collect a new video shadow detection dataset, which contains 120 videos with 11, 685 frames, covering 60 object categories, varying lengths, and different motion/lighting conditions. We also develop a new baseline model, named triple-cooperative video shadow detection network (TVSD-Net) Within the network, a dual gated co-attention module is proposed to constrain features from neighboring frames in the same video, while an auxiliary similarity loss is introduced to mine semantic information between different videos.

• Abstract: Shadow detection in a single image has received significant research interest in recent years. However, much fewer works have been explored in shadow detection over dynamic scenes. The bottleneck is the lack of a well-established dataset with high-quality annotations for video shadow detection. In this work, we collect a new video shadow detection dataset, which contains 120 videos with 11, 685 frames, covering 60 object categories, varying lengths, and different motion/lighting conditions. All the frames are annotated with a high-quality pixel-level shadow mask. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first learning-oriented dataset for video shadow detection. Furthermore, we develop a new baseline model, named triple-cooperative video shadow detection network (TVSD-Net). It utilizes triple parallel networks in a cooperative manner to learn discriminative representations at intra-video and inter-video levels. Within the network, a dual gated co-attention module is proposed to constrain features from neighboring frames in the same video, while an auxiliary similarity loss is introduced to mine semantic information between different videos. Finally, we conduct a comprehensive study on ViSha, evaluating 12 state-of-the-art models (including single image shadow detectors, video object segmentation, and saliency detection methods). Experiments demonstrate that our model outperforms SOTA competitors.

  The proposed algorithm is designed to handle large video datasets and retrieve the most related videos to a given inquiry video clip. We split both the candidate and the inquiry videos into a sequence of clips and convert each clip to a representation vector using an autoencoder-backed deep neural network. We then calculate a similarity measure between the sequences of embedding vectors using a bi-directional dynamic time-warping method.

  We propose an approach that combines the strengths of motion-based and appearance-based segmentation.

In the unsupervised video segmentation mode, the network is trained on a collection of unlabelled videos, using the learning process itself as an algorithm to segment these videos.
