• Abstract: Ultra-high resolution image segmentation has raised increasing interests in recent years due to its realistic applications. In this paper, we innovate the widely used high-resolution image segmentation pipeline, in which an ultra-high resolution image is partitioned into regular patches for local segmentation and then the local results are merged into a high-resolution semantic mask. In particular, we introduce a novel locality-aware contextual correlation based segmentation model to process local patches, where the relevance between local patch and its various contexts are jointly and complementarily utilized to handle the semantic regions with large variations. Additionally, we present a contextual semantics refinement network that associates the local segmentation result with its contextual semantics, and thus is endowed with the ability of reducing boundary artifacts and refining mask contours during the generation of final high-resolution mask. Furthermore, in comprehensive experiments, we demonstrate that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in public benchmarks. Our released codes are available at https://github.com/liqiokkk/FCtL.

  We introduce self-supervised spatially-consistent grouping with text-supervised semantic segmentation. Considering the part-like grouped results, we further adapt a text-supervised model from image-level to region-level recognition. Our method achieves 59.2% mIoU and 32.4% mIoU on Pascal VOC and Pascal Context benchmarks.

  We propose a new unsupervised domain adaptation method for the semantic segmentation of very high resolution images. An image-to-image translation paradigm is proposed, based on an encoder-decoder principle where latent content representations are mixed across domains. Cross-city comparative experiments have shown that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art domain adaptation methods.

  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.

  We address the problem of domain adaptation for semantic segmentation of street scenes. Many state-of-the-art approaches focus on translating the source image while imposing that the result should be semantically consistent with the input. We advocate that the image semantics can also be exploited to guide the translation algorithm.

We also employ a discriminator with local and global branches to ensure local-global contents consistency.
