• Title: Borrowing from yourself: Faster future video segmentation with partial channel update
• Authors: Evann Courdier and Fran\c{c}ois Fleuret
• Abstract summary: We propose to tackle the task of fast future video segmentation prediction through the use of convolutional layers with time-dependent channel masking. This technique only updates a chosen subset of the feature maps at each time-step, bringing simultaneously less computation and latency. We apply this technique to several fast architectures and experimentally confirm its benefits for the future prediction subtask.

• Abstract: Semantic segmentation is a well-addressed topic in the computer vision literature, but the design of fast and accurate video processing networks remains challenging. In addition, to run on embedded hardware, computer vision models often have to make compromises on accuracy to run at the required speed, so that a latency/accuracy trade-off is usually at the heart of these real-time systems' design. For the specific case of videos, models have the additional possibility to make use of computations made for previous frames to mitigate the accuracy loss while being real-time. In this work, we propose to tackle the task of fast future video segmentation prediction through the use of convolutional layers with time-dependent channel masking. This technique only updates a chosen subset of the feature maps at each time-step, bringing simultaneously less computation and latency, and allowing the network to leverage previously computed features. We apply this technique to several fast architectures and experimentally confirm its benefits for the future prediction subtask.

  Most restoration networks are slow, have high computational bottleneck, and can't be used for real-time video enhancement. In this work, we design an efficient and fast framework to perform real-time enhancement for practical use-cases like live video calls and video streams. To evaluate our method, we emulate two new datasets that real-world video call and streaming scenarios, and show extensive results on multiple datasets where ReBotNet outperforms existing approaches with lower computations, reduced memory requirements, and faster inference time.

  We propose a novel framework to speed up any architecture with skip-connections for real-time vision tasks. Specifically, at the arrival of each frame, we transform the features from the previous frame to reuse them at specific spatial bins. We then perform partial computation of the backbone network on the regions of the current frame that captures temporal differences between the current and previous frame.
