• Abstract summary: Super resolution is employed to enhance the spatial resolution of aerial image, allowing for finer details to be captured. This enhanced imagery serves as input to a multitask learning module, which consists of a segmentation head and a frame field learning head. Our model is supervised by adaptive loss weighting, enabling extraction of sharp edges and fine-grained polygons.

• Abstract: Despite notable results on standard aerial datasets, current state-of-the-arts fail to produce accurate building footprints in dense areas due to challenging properties posed by these areas and limited data availability. In this paper, we propose a framework to address such issues in polygonal building extraction. First, super resolution is employed to enhance the spatial resolution of aerial image, allowing for finer details to be captured. This enhanced imagery serves as input to a multitask learning module, which consists of a segmentation head and a frame field learning head to effectively handle the irregular building structures. Our model is supervised by adaptive loss weighting, enabling extraction of sharp edges and fine-grained polygons which is difficult due to overlapping buildings and low data quality. Extensive experiments on a slum area in India that mimics a dense area demonstrate that our proposed approach significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods by a large margin.

  The reconstruction of indoor scenes from multi-view RGB images is challenging due to the coexistence of flat and texture-less regions. Recent methods leverage neural radiance fields aided by predicted surface normal priors to recover the scene geometry. This work aims to reconstruct high-fidelity surfaces with fine-grained details by addressing the above limitations.
