• Abstract summary: Road Region dataset (R2S100K) is a large-scale dataset and benchmark for training and evaluation of road segmentation. R2S100K comprises 100K images extracted from a large and diverse set of video sequences covering more than 1000 KM of roadways. We present an Efficient Data Sampling method (EDS) based self-training framework to improve learning by leveraging unlabeled data.

• Abstract: Semantic understanding of roadways is a key enabling factor for safe autonomous driving. However, existing autonomous driving datasets provide well-structured urban roads while ignoring unstructured roadways containing distress, potholes, water puddles, and various kinds of road patches i.e., earthen, gravel etc. To this end, we introduce Road Region Segmentation dataset (R2S100K) -- a large-scale dataset and benchmark for training and evaluation of road segmentation in aforementioned challenging unstructured roadways. R2S100K comprises 100K images extracted from a large and diverse set of video sequences covering more than 1000 KM of roadways. Out of these 100K privacy respecting images, 14,000 images have fine pixel-labeling of road regions, with 86,000 unlabeled images that can be leveraged through semi-supervised learning methods. Alongside, we present an Efficient Data Sampling (EDS) based self-training framework to improve learning by leveraging unlabeled data. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves learning methods in generalizability and reduces the labeling cost for semantic segmentation tasks. Our benchmark will be publicly available to facilitate future research at https://r2s100k.github.io/.

• A Performance Increment Strategy for Semantic Segmentation of Low-Resolution Images from Damaged Roads [0.0]
  A representative dataset for emerging countries consists of low-resolution images of poorly maintained roads. In this scenario, three challenges arise: objects with few pixels, objects with undefined shapes, and highly underrepresented classes. To tackle these challenges, this work proposes the Performance Increment Strategy for Semantic (PISSS) as a methodology of 14 training experiments to boost performance.

  Road extraction is an essential step in building autonomous navigation systems. Using just convolution neural networks (ConvNets) for this problem is not effective as it is inefficient at capturing distant dependencies between road segments in the image. We propose a Spatial and Interaction Space Graph Reasoning (SPIN) module which when plugged into a ConvNet performs reasoning over graphs constructed on spatial and interaction spaces projected from the feature maps.
