• Authors: Tuan Nguyen, Max Mehltretter, Franz Rottensteiner,
• Abstract summary: We present a novel CNN-based method for panoptic segmentation. We propose a new depth-aware dice loss term which penalises the assignment of pixels to the same thing instance. Experiments carried out on the Cityscapes dataset show that the proposed method reduces the number of objects that are erroneously merged into one thing instance.

• Abstract: Panoptic segmentation unifies semantic and instance segmentation and thus delivers a semantic class label and, for so-called thing classes, also an instance label per pixel. The differentiation of distinct objects of the same class with a similar appearance is particularly challenging and frequently causes such objects to be incorrectly assigned to a single instance. In the present work, we demonstrate that information on the 3D geometry of the observed scene can be used to mitigate this issue: We present a novel CNN-based method for panoptic segmentation which processes RGB images and depth maps given as input in separate network branches and fuses the resulting feature maps in a late fusion manner. Moreover, we propose a new depth-aware dice loss term which penalises the assignment of pixels to the same thing instance based on the difference between their associated distances to the camera. Experiments carried out on the Cityscapes dataset show that the proposed method reduces the number of objects that are erroneously merged into one thing instance and outperforms the method used as basis by 2.2% in terms of panoptic quality.

  Generalized Perception NeRF (GP-NeRF) is a novel pipeline that makes the widely used segmentation model and NeRF work compatibly under a unified framework. We propose two self-distillation mechanisms, i.e., the Semantic Distill Loss and the Depth-Guided Semantic Distill Loss, to enhance the discrimination and quality of the semantic field.

  We present a novel framework that can reconstruct category-specific objects from a single image without known camera parameters. We parameterize the geometry and appearance of the object using a multi-scale global feature extractor. We also propose a contrastive learning-based pretraining strategy to improve the feature extractor.

• Semantic Validation in Structure from Motion [0.0]
  Structure from Motion (SfM) is the process of recovering the 3D structure of a scene from a series of projective measurements. SfM consists of three main steps; feature detection and matching, camera motion estimation, and recovery of 3D structure. This project offers a novel method for improved validation of 3D SfM models.

• A Generalist Framework for Panoptic Segmentation of Images and Videos [61.61453194912186]
  We formulate panoptic segmentation as a discrete data generation problem, without relying on inductive bias of the task. A diffusion model is proposed to model panoptic masks, with a simple architecture and generic loss function. Our method is capable of modeling video (in a streaming setting) and thereby learns to track object instances automatically.

  We propose a novel self-supervised Video Object (VOS) approach that strives to achieve better object-background discriminability. Our approach is based on a discriminative learning loss formulation that takes into account both object and background information. Our proposed approach, CT-VOS, achieves state-of-the-art results on two challenging benchmarks: DAVIS-2017 and Youtube-VOS.

  We propose a lightweight, weakly supervised deep network to coarsely locate semantically salient regions. We then fuse multiple off-the-shelf deep models on these semantically salient regions as the pixel-wise saliency refinement. Our method is simple yet effective, which is the first attempt to consider the salient object detection mainly as an object-level semantic re-ranking problem.
