• Abstract summary: We present an approach for encoding visual task relationships to improve model performance in an Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) setting. We propose a novel Cross-Task Relation Layer (CTRL), which encodes task dependencies between the semantic and depth predictions. Furthermore, we propose an Iterative Self-Learning (ISL) training scheme, which exploits semantic pseudo-labels to provide extra supervision on the target domain.

• Abstract: We present an approach for encoding visual task relationships to improve model performance in an Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) setting. Semantic segmentation and monocular depth estimation are shown to be complementary tasks; in a multi-task learning setting, a proper encoding of their relationships can further improve performance on both tasks. Motivated by this observation, we propose a novel Cross-Task Relation Layer (CTRL), which encodes task dependencies between the semantic and depth predictions. To capture the cross-task relationships, we propose a neural network architecture that contains task-specific and cross-task refinement heads. Furthermore, we propose an Iterative Self-Learning (ISL) training scheme, which exploits semantic pseudo-labels to provide extra supervision on the target domain. We experimentally observe improvements in both tasks' performance because the complementary information present in these tasks is better captured. Specifically, we show that: (1) our approach improves performance on all tasks when they are complementary and mutually dependent; (2) the CTRL helps to improve both semantic segmentation and depth estimation tasks performance in the challenging UDA setting; (3) the proposed ISL training scheme further improves the semantic segmentation performance. The implementation is available at https://github.com/susaha/ctrl-uda.

  Multi-task learning promises better model generalization on a target task by jointly optimizing it with an auxiliary task. We find that jointly training a dense prediction (target) task with a self-supervised (auxiliary) task can consistently improve the performance of the target task, while eliminating the need for labeling auxiliary tasks.

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 propose a novel weakly supervised multi-task framework called AuxSegNet to leverage saliency detection and multi-label image classification as auxiliary tasks. Inspired by their similar structured semantics, we also propose to learn a cross-task global pixel-level affinity map from the saliency and segmentation representations. The learned cross-task affinity can be used to refine saliency predictions and propagate CAM maps to provide improved pseudo labels for both tasks.

  Domain adaptation for semantic segmentation aims to improve the model performance in the presence of a distribution shift between source and target domain. We leverage the guidance from self-supervised depth estimation, which is available on both domains, to bridge the domain gap. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach on the benchmark tasks SYNTHIA-to-Cityscapes and GTA-to-Cityscapes.
