• Abstract: Homography estimation is the task of determining the transformation from an image pair. Our approach focuses on employing detector-free feature matching methods to address this issue. Previous work has underscored the importance of incorporating semantic information, however there still lacks an efficient way to utilize semantic information. Previous methods suffer from treating the semantics as a pre-processing, causing the utilization of semantics overly coarse-grained and lack adaptability when dealing with different tasks. In our work, we seek another way to use the semantic information, that is semantic-aware feature representation learning framework.Based on this, we propose SRMatcher, a new detector-free feature matching method, which encourages the network to learn integrated semantic feature representation.Specifically, to capture precise and rich semantics, we leverage the capabilities of recently popularized vision foundation models (VFMs) trained on extensive datasets. Then, a cross-images Semantic-aware Fusion Block (SFB) is proposed to integrate its fine-grained semantic features into the feature representation space. In this way, by reducing errors stemming from semantic inconsistencies in matching pairs, our proposed SRMatcher is able to deliver more accurate and realistic outcomes. Extensive experiments show that SRMatcher surpasses solid baselines and attains SOTA results on multiple real-world datasets. Compared to the previous SOTA approach GeoFormer, SRMatcher increases the area under the cumulative curve (AUC) by about 11% on HPatches. Additionally, the SRMatcher could serve as a plug-and-play framework for other matching methods like LoFTR, yielding substantial precision improvement.

  Self-attention mechanism, a cornerstone of Vision Transformers (ViTs) tends to encompass all global cues. Small segments of a degraded image, particularly those closely aligned semantically, provide particularly relevant information to aid in the restoration process. We propose boosting IR's performance by sharing the key semantics via Transformer for IR (ie, SemanIR) in this paper.

Second, we distill the visual space by exploiting the learned data distribution through an adversarially trained generator. Third, we align the distilled information, enabling a mapping of unseen categories onto the true data manifold.

The proposed Semantic Anchor Regularization (SAR) can be used in a plug-and-play manner in the existing models.

  Few-shot semantic segmentation is the task of learning to locate each pixel of a novel class in a query image with only a few annotated support images. We propose a Feature-Enhanced Context-Aware Network (FECANet) to suppress the matching noise caused by inter-class local similarity. In addition, we propose a novel correlation reconstruction module that encodes extra correspondence relations between foreground and background and multi-scale context semantic features.

We formulate WSSS as a novel group-wise learning task that explicitly models semantic dependencies in a group of images to estimate more reliable pseudo ground-truths. In particular, we devise a graph neural network (GNN) for group-wise semantic mining, wherein input images are represented as graph nodes.
