• Authors: Zijian Zhou, Miaojing Shi, Holger Caesar
• Abstract summary: Panoptic Scene Graph generation (PSG) aims to segment the image and extract triplets of subjects, objects and their relations to build a scene graph. This task suffers from a long-tail problem in its relation categories, making naive biased methods more inclined to high-frequency relations. Existing unbiased methods tackle the long-tail problem by data/loss rebalancing to favor low-frequency relations. While existing methods favor one over the other, our proposed HiLo framework lets different network branches specialize on low and high frequency relations.

• Abstract: Panoptic Scene Graph generation (PSG) is a recently proposed task in image scene understanding that aims to segment the image and extract triplets of subjects, objects and their relations to build a scene graph. This task is particularly challenging for two reasons. First, it suffers from a long-tail problem in its relation categories, making naive biased methods more inclined to high-frequency relations. Existing unbiased methods tackle the long-tail problem by data/loss rebalancing to favor low-frequency relations. Second, a subject-object pair can have two or more semantically overlapping relations. While existing methods favor one over the other, our proposed HiLo framework lets different network branches specialize on low and high frequency relations, enforce their consistency and fuse the results. To the best of our knowledge we are the first to propose an explicitly unbiased PSG method. In extensive experiments we show that our HiLo framework achieves state-of-the-art results on the PSG task. We also apply our method to the Scene Graph Generation task that predicts boxes instead of masks and see improvements over all baseline methods. Code is available at https://github.com/franciszzj/HiLo.

  Scene graph generation aims to capture detailed spatial and semantic relationships between objects in an image. Existing Transformer-based methods either employ distinct queries for objects and predicates or utilize holistic queries for relation triplets. We present a new Transformer-based method, called DSGG, that views scene graph detection as a direct graph prediction problem.

  Panoptic Scene Graph (PSG) aims to create a more comprehensive scene graph representation using panoptic segmentation instead of boxes. Current PSG methods have limited performance, which hinders downstream tasks or applications. We present a novel framework: Pair then Relation (Pair-Net), which uses a Pair Proposal Network (PPN) to learn and filter sparse pair-wise relationships between subjects and objects.

We introduce a multi-label meta-learning framework to deal with the biased predicate distribution.
