We develop the Inverse Multi-Attentive Feature Refinement (IMAFR) module which enhances feature learning capabilities. Second, we propose a novel image-text alignment module for improved feature extraction of the Stable Diffusion backbone.

• Abstract: This work presents the network architecture EVP (Enhanced Visual Perception). EVP builds on the previous work VPD which paved the way to use the Stable Diffusion network for computer vision tasks. We propose two major enhancements. First, we develop the Inverse Multi-Attentive Feature Refinement (IMAFR) module which enhances feature learning capabilities by aggregating spatial information from higher pyramid levels. Second, we propose a novel image-text alignment module for improved feature extraction of the Stable Diffusion backbone. The resulting architecture is suitable for a wide variety of tasks and we demonstrate its performance in the context of single-image depth estimation with a specialized decoder using classification-based bins and referring segmentation with an off-the-shelf decoder. Comprehensive experiments conducted on established datasets show that EVP achieves state-of-the-art results in single-image depth estimation for indoor (NYU Depth v2, 11.8% RMSE improvement over VPD) and outdoor (KITTI) environments, as well as referring segmentation (RefCOCO, 2.53 IoU improvement over ReLA). The code and pre-trained models are publicly available at https://github.com/Lavreniuk/EVP.

  We present ANYU, a new virtually augmented version of the NYU depth v2 dataset, designed for monocular depth estimation. In contrast to the well-known approach where full 3D scenes of a virtual world are utilized to generate artificial datasets, ANYU was created by incorporating RGB-D representations of virtual reality objects. We show that ANYU improves the monocular depth estimation performance and generalization of deep neural networks with considerably different architectures.

  We revisit the classic stereo setup for training data collection -- capturing two images of the same scene with one UDC and one standard camera. The key idea is to "copy" details from a high-quality reference image and "paste" them on the UDC image. A novel Transformer-based framework generates well-aligned yet high-quality target data for the corresponding UDC input.

  We introduce Deep Direct Volume Rendering (DeepDVR), a generalization of Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) that allows for the integration of deep neural networks into the DVR algorithm. We conceptualize the rendering in a latent color space, thus enabling the use of deep architectures to learn implicit mappings for feature extraction and classification. Our generalization serves to derive novel volume rendering architectures that can be trained end-to-end directly from examples in image space.

  We propose to adopt the graph propagation to capture the observed spatial contexts. We then apply the attention mechanism on the propagation, which encourages the network to model the contextual information adaptively. Finally, we introduce the symmetric gated fusion strategy to exploit the extracted multi-modal features effectively. Our model, named Adaptive Context-Aware Multi-Modal Network (ACMNet), achieves the state-of-the-art performance on two benchmarks.
