• Authors: Sahir Shrestha, Mohammad Ali Armin, Hongdong Li, Nick Barnes
• Abstract summary: We envision a simple framework for dominant moving object segmentation that neither requires annotated data to train nor relies on saliency priors or pre-trained optical flow maps. Inspired by a layered image representation, we introduce a technique to group pixel regions according to their affine parametric motion. This enables our network to learn segmentation of the dominant foreground object using only RGB image pairs as input for both training and inference.

• Abstract: Existing deep learning based unsupervised video object segmentation methods still rely on ground-truth segmentation masks to train. Unsupervised in this context only means that no annotated frames are used during inference. As obtaining ground-truth segmentation masks for real image scenes is a laborious task, we envision a simple framework for dominant moving object segmentation that neither requires annotated data to train nor relies on saliency priors or pre-trained optical flow maps. Inspired by a layered image representation, we introduce a technique to group pixel regions according to their affine parametric motion. This enables our network to learn segmentation of the dominant foreground object using only RGB image pairs as input for both training and inference. We establish a baseline for this novel task using a new MovingCars dataset and show competitive performance against recent methods that require annotated masks to train.

  We propose to pretrain networks for semantic segmentation by predicting the relative location of image parts. We control the difficulty of the task by masking a subset of the reference patch features visible to those of the query. Our experiments show that this location-aware pretraining leads to representations that transfer competitively to several challenging semantic segmentation benchmarks.

  We propose an approach that combines the strengths of motion-based and appearance-based segmentation. We propose to supervise an image segmentation network, tasking it with predicting regions that are likely to contain simple motion patterns. 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.

  We propose a GAN-based approach that generates images conditioned on latent masks. We show that such mask-conditioned image generation can be learned faithfully when conditioning the masks in a hierarchical manner. It also lets us generate image-mask pairs for training a segmentation network, which outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised segmentation methods on established benchmarks.

• The Emergence of Objectness: Learning Zero-Shot Segmentation from Videos [59.12750806239545]
  We show that a video has different views of the same scene related by moving components, and the right region segmentation and region flow would allow mutual view synthesis. Our model starts with two separate pathways: an appearance pathway that outputs feature-based region segmentation for a single image, and a motion pathway that outputs motion features for a pair of images. By training the model to minimize view synthesis errors based on segment flow, our appearance and motion pathways learn region segmentation and flow estimation automatically without building them up from low-level edges or optical flows respectively.
