• Abstract: Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to adapt a model of the labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain. Although the domain shifts may exist in various dimensions such as appearance, textures, etc, the contextual dependency, which is generally shared across different domains, is neglected by recent methods. In this paper, we utilize this important clue as explicit prior knowledge and propose end-to-end Context-Aware Mixup (CAMix) for domain adaptive semantic segmentation. Firstly, we design a contextual mask generation strategy by leveraging accumulated spatial distributions and contextual relationships. The generated contextual mask is critical in this work and will guide the domain mixup. In addition, we define the significance mask to indicate where the pixels are credible. To alleviate the over-alignment (e.g., early performance degradation), the source and target significance masks are mixed based on the contextual mask into the mixed significance mask, and we introduce a significance-reweighted consistency loss on it. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by a large margin on two widely-used domain adaptation benchmarks, i.e., GTAV $\rightarrow $ Cityscapes and SYNTHIA $\rightarrow $ Cityscapes.

  We propose to incorporate structural cues from auxiliary modalities, such as depth, to regularise conventional self-training objectives. Specifically, we introduce a contrastive pixel-level objectness constraint that pulls the pixel representations within a region of an object instance closer. We show that our regularizer significantly improves top performing self-training methods in various UDA benchmarks for semantic segmentation.

  We propose a new UDA semantic segmentation approach based on domain assumption closeness to alleviate the above problems.

Experiments conducted on GTA5 and SYNTHIA proved the effectiveness of our method.

  In this paper, we address the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) in semantic segmentation. Motivated by the fact that source and target domain have invariant semantic structures, we propose to exploit such invariance across domains. We develop two affinity space adaptation strategies: affinity space cleaning and adversarial affinity space alignment.

  Domain adaptation aims to learn a transferable model to bridge the domain shift between one labeled source domain and another sparsely labeled or unlabeled target domain. Recent multi-source domain adaptation (MDA) methods do not consider the pixel-level alignment between sources and target. We propose a novel MDA framework to address these challenges.
