• Abstract summary: We propose a semantically-aware novel paradigm to perform image extrapolation. The proposed approach focuses on (i) extending the already present objects but also on (ii) adding new objects in the extended region based on the context. We conduct experiments on Cityscapes and ADE20K-bedroom datasets and show that our method outperforms all baselines in terms of FID, and similarity in object co-occurrence statistics.

• Abstract: We propose a semantically-aware novel paradigm to perform image extrapolation that enables the addition of new object instances. All previous methods are limited in their capability of extrapolation to merely extending the already existing objects in the image. However, our proposed approach focuses not only on (i) extending the already present objects but also on (ii) adding new objects in the extended region based on the context. To this end, for a given image, we first obtain an object segmentation map using a state-of-the-art semantic segmentation method. The, thus, obtained segmentation map is fed into a network to compute the extrapolated semantic segmentation and the corresponding panoptic segmentation maps. The input image and the obtained segmentation maps are further utilized to generate the final extrapolated image. We conduct experiments on Cityscapes and ADE20K-bedroom datasets and show that our method outperforms all baselines in terms of FID, and similarity in object co-occurrence statistics.

  Weakly Supervised Semantic (WSSS) relying only on image-level supervision is a promising approach to deal with the need for networks. We propose our novel ReFit framework, which deploys state-of-the-art class activation maps combined with various post-processing techniques. By applying our method to WSSS predictions, we achieved up to 10% improvement over the current state-of-the-art WSSS methods for medical imaging.

• Object-Guided Instance Segmentation With Auxiliary Feature Refinement for Biological Images [58.914034295184685]
  Instance segmentation is of great importance for many biological applications, such as study of neural cell interactions, plant phenotyping, and quantitatively measuring how cells react to drug treatment. Box-based instance segmentation methods capture objects via bounding boxes and then perform individual segmentation within each bounding box region. Our method first detects the center points of the objects, from which the bounding box parameters are then predicted. The segmentation branch reuses the object features as guidance to separate target object from the neighboring ones within the same bounding box region.

  We introduce the concept of semantic objectness to exploit the geometric relationship of these two tasks. We then propose a Semantic Object and Depth Estimation Network (SOSD-Net) based on the objectness assumption. To the best of our knowledge, SOSD-Net is the first network that exploits the geometry constraint for simultaneous monocular depth estimation and semantic segmentation.

  We propose a simple yet effective approach to enforce the network to pay attention to other parts of an object. Specifically, we perform clustering on image features to generate pseudo sub-categories labels within each annotated parent class. We conduct extensive analysis to validate the proposed method and show that our approach performs favorably against the state-of-the-art approaches.

• Improving Semantic Segmentation via Decoupled Body and Edge Supervision [89.57847958016981]
  Existing semantic segmentation approaches either aim to improve the object's inner consistency by modeling the global context, or refine objects detail along their boundaries by multi-scale feature fusion. In this paper, a new paradigm for semantic segmentation is proposed. Our insight is that appealing performance of semantic segmentation requires textitexplicitly modeling the object textitbody and textitedge, which correspond to the high and low frequency of the image. We show that the proposed framework with various baselines or backbone networks leads to better object inner consistency and object boundaries.
