图像语义分割的最新方法涉及计算密集的神经网络体系结构。这些方法中的大多数由于内存和其他计算问题而无法适应高分辨率图像分割。文献中的典型方法涉及神经网络体系结构的设计，这些神经网络体系结构可以从低分辨率图像和高分辨率对应物中的本地信息中融合全球信息。但是，设计用于处理高分辨率图像的体系结构是不必要的复杂的，并且涉及许多可能难以调整的超级参数。同样，这些架构中的大多数都需要对高分辨率图像进行训练的地面真理注释，这很难获得。在本文中，我们基于数学形态（MM）操作员开发了强大的管道，该管道可以无缝地将任何现有的语义分割算法扩展到高分辨率图像。我们的方法不需要高分辨率图像的地面真相注释。它基于有效利用低分辨率对应物中的信息以及有关高分辨率图像的梯度信息。我们使用传统的形态算子从低分辨率图像上的推断标签中获得高质量的种子，并使用随机助行器传播种子标签，以优化边界的语义标签。我们表明，通过我们的方法获得的语义分割结果击败了高分辨率图像上现有的最新算法。我们从经验上证明了我们对管道中使用的超级参数的鲁棒性。此外，我们表征了我们的管道适用的一些必要条件，并对拟议方法提供了深入的分析。

大多数现有的语义分割方法都以图像级类标签作为监督，高度依赖于从标准分类网络生成的初始类激活图（CAM）。在本文中，提出了一种新颖的“渐进贴片学习”方法，以改善分类的局部细节提取，从而更好地覆盖整个对象的凸轮，而不仅仅是在常规分类模型中获得的CAM中的最歧视区域。 “补丁学习”将特征映射破坏成贴片，并在最终聚合之前并行独立处理每个本地贴片。这样的机制强迫网络从分散的歧视性本地部分中找到弱信息，从而提高了本地细节的敏感性。 “渐进的补丁学习”进一步将特征破坏和补丁学习扩展到多层粒度。与多阶段优化策略合作，这种“渐进的补丁学习”机制隐式地为模型提供了跨不同位置粒状性的特征提取能力。作为隐式多粒性渐进式融合方法的替代方案，我们还提出了一种明确的方法，以同时将单个模型中不同粒度的特征融合，从而进一步增强了完整对象覆盖的凸轮质量。我们提出的方法在Pascal VOC 2012数据集上取得了出色的性能，例如，测试集中有69.6 $％miou），它超过了大多数现有的弱监督语义细分方法。代码将在此处公开提供，https://github.com/tyroneli/ppl_wsss。

尽管近期基于深度学习的语义细分，但远程感测图像的自动建筑检测仍然是一个具有挑战性的问题，由于全球建筑物的出现巨大变化。误差主要发生在构建足迹的边界，阴影区域，以及检测外表面具有与周围区域非常相似的反射率特性的建筑物。为了克服这些问题，我们提出了一种生成的对抗基于网络的基于网络的分割框架，其具有嵌入在发电机中的不确定性关注单元和改进模块。由边缘和反向关注单元组成的细化模块，旨在精炼预测的建筑地图。边缘注意力增强了边界特征，以估计更高的精度，并且反向关注允许网络探索先前估计区域中缺少的功能。不确定性关注单元有助于网络解决分类中的不确定性。作为我们方法的权力的衡量标准，截至2021年12月4日，它在Deepglobe公共领导板上的第二名，尽管我们的方法的主要重点 - 建筑边缘 - 并不完全对齐用于排行榜排名的指标。 DeepGlobe充满挑战数据集的整体F1分数为0.745。我们还报告了对挑战的Inria验证数据集的最佳成绩，我们的网络实现了81.28％的总体验证，总体准确性为97.03％。沿着同一条线，对于官方Inria测试数据集，我们的网络总体上得分77.86％和96.41％，而且准确性。

段4K或6K超高分辨率图像需要在图像分割中考虑额外的计算考虑。常见的策略，如淡化采样，补丁裁剪和级联模型，不能妥善解决精度和计算成本之间的余额问题。由人类在粗糙到精确水平中连续地区分物体的影响，我们提出了用于超高分辨率分割任务的连续细化模型〜（CRM）。CRM连续将特征映射与细化目标保持一致，并聚合要重建这些图像的细节。此外，我们的CRM表明其具有填补低分辨率培训图像和超高分辨率测试之间的分辨率差距的重要概括能力。我们展示了定量的绩效评估和可视化，以表明我们的提出方法在图像分割细化方面是快速有效的。代码将在https://github.com/dvlab-research/entity发布。

In this work we address the task of semantic image segmentation with Deep Learning and make three main contributions that are experimentally shown to have substantial practical merit. First, we highlight convolution with upsampled filters, or 'atrous convolution', as a powerful tool in dense prediction tasks. Atrous convolution allows us to explicitly control the resolution at which feature responses are computed within Deep Convolutional Neural Networks. It also allows us to effectively enlarge the field of view of filters to incorporate larger context without increasing the number of parameters or the amount of computation. Second, we propose atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) to robustly segment objects at multiple scales. ASPP probes an incoming convolutional feature layer with filters at multiple sampling rates and effective fields-of-views, thus capturing objects as well as image context at multiple scales. Third, we improve the localization of object boundaries by combining methods from DCNNs and probabilistic graphical models. The commonly deployed combination of max-pooling and downsampling in DCNNs achieves invariance but has a toll on localization accuracy. We overcome this by combining the responses at the final DCNN layer with a fully connected Conditional Random Field (CRF), which is shown both qualitatively and quantitatively to improve localization performance. Our proposed "DeepLab" system sets the new state-of-art at the PASCAL VOC-2012 semantic image segmentation task, reaching 79.7% mIOU in the test set, and advances the results on three other datasets: PASCAL-Context, PASCAL-Person-Part, and Cityscapes. All of our code is made publicly available online.

从众包标签或公开的数据创建的大规模数据集已经至关重要，为大规模学习算法提供培训数据。虽然这些数据集更容易获取，但数据经常嘈杂和不可靠，这是对弱监督学习技术的激励研究。在本文中，我们提出了原始想法，帮助我们在变更检测的背景下利用此类数据集。首先，我们提出了引导的各向异性扩散（GAD）算法，其使用输入图像改善语义分割结果作为执行边缘保留滤波的引导件。然后，我们展示了它在改变检测中量身定制的两个弱监督的学习策略中的潜力。第一策略是一种迭代学习方法，它将模型优化和数据清理使用GAD从开放矢量数据生成的大规模改变检测数据集中提取有用信息。第二个在新的空间注意层内包含GAD，其增加训练训练的弱监管网络的准确性，以从图像级标签执行像素级预测。在4个不同的公共数据集上展示了关于最先进的最先进的改进。

Image segmentation is a key topic in image processing and computer vision with applications such as scene understanding, medical image analysis, robotic perception, video surveillance, augmented reality, and image compression, among many others. Various algorithms for image segmentation have been developed in the literature. Recently, due to the success of deep learning models in a wide range of vision applications, there has been a substantial amount of works aimed at developing image segmentation approaches using deep learning models. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of the literature at the time of this writing, covering a broad spectrum of pioneering works for semantic and instance-level segmentation, including fully convolutional pixel-labeling networks, encoder-decoder architectures, multi-scale and pyramid based approaches, recurrent networks, visual attention models, and generative models in adversarial settings. We investigate the similarity, strengths and challenges of these deep learning models, examine the most widely used datasets, report performances, and discuss promising future research directions in this area.

语义分割是图像的像素明智标记。由于在像素级别定义了问题，因此确定图像类标签是不可接受的，而是在原始图像像素分辨率下本地化它们是必要的。通过卷积神经网络（CNN）在创建语义，高级和分层图像特征方面的非凡能力推动;在过去十年中提出了几种基于深入的学习的2D语义分割方法。在本调查中，我们主要关注最近的语义细分科学发展，特别是在使用2D图像的基于深度学习的方法。我们开始分析了对2D语义分割的公共图像集和排行榜，概述了性能评估中使用的技术。在研究现场的演变时，我们按时间顺序分类为三个主要时期，即预先和早期的深度学习时代，完全卷积的时代和后FCN时代。我们在技术上分析了解决领域的基本问题的解决方案，例如细粒度的本地化和规模不变性。在借阅我们的结论之前，我们提出了一张来自所有提到的时代的方法表，每个方法都概述了他们对该领域的贡献。我们通过讨论现场当前的挑战以及他们已经解决的程度来结束调查。

Ultra-high resolution image segmentation has raised increasing interests in recent years due to its realistic applications. In this paper, we innovate the widely used high-resolution image segmentation pipeline, in which an ultra-high resolution image is partitioned into regular patches for local segmentation and then the local results are merged into a high-resolution semantic mask. In particular, we introduce a novel locality-aware context fusion based segmentation model to process local patches, where the relevance between local patch and its various contexts are jointly and complementarily utilized to handle the semantic regions with large variations. Additionally, we present the alternating local enhancement module that restricts the negative impact of redundant information introduced from the contexts, and thus is endowed with the ability of fixing the locality-aware features to produce refined results. Furthermore, in comprehensive experiments, we demonstrate that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in public benchmarks. Our released codes are available at: https://github.com/liqiokkk/FCtL.

We focus on the challenging task of real-time semantic segmentation in this paper. It finds many practical applications and yet is with fundamental difficulty of reducing a large portion of computation for pixel-wise label inference. We propose an image cascade network (ICNet) that incorporates multi-resolution branches under proper label guidance to address this challenge. We provide in-depth analysis of our framework and introduce the cascade feature fusion unit to quickly achieve highquality segmentation. Our system yields real-time inference on a single GPU card with decent quality results evaluated on challenging datasets like Cityscapes, CamVid and COCO-Stuff.

Jitendra Malik once said, "Supervision is the opium of the AI researcher". Most deep learning techniques heavily rely on extreme amounts of human labels to work effectively. In today's world, the rate of data creation greatly surpasses the rate of data annotation. Full reliance on human annotations is just a temporary means to solve current closed problems in AI. In reality, only a tiny fraction of data is annotated. Annotation Efficient Learning (AEL) is a study of algorithms to train models effectively with fewer annotations. To thrive in AEL environments, we need deep learning techniques that rely less on manual annotations (e.g., image, bounding-box, and per-pixel labels), but learn useful information from unlabeled data. In this thesis, we explore five different techniques for handling AEL.

捕获图像的全局拓扑对于提出对其域的准确分割至关重要。但是，大多数现有的分割方法都不能保留给定输入的初始拓扑，这对许多下游基于对象的任务有害。对于大多数在本地尺度上工作的深度学习模型来说，这是更真实的。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的拓扑深度图像分割方法，该方法依赖于新的泄漏损失：Pathloss。我们的方法是Baloss [1]的扩展，其中我们希望改进泄漏检测，以更好地恢复图像分割的接近度。这种损失使我们能够正确定位并修复预测中可能发生的关键点（边界中的泄漏），并基于最短路径搜索算法。这样，损失最小化仅在必要时才能强制连接，并最终提供了图像中对象边界的良好定位。此外，根据我们的研究，与无需使用拓扑损失的方法相比，我们的Pathloss学会了保持更强的细长结构。通过我们的拓扑损失函数培训，我们的方法在两个代表性数据集上优于最先进的拓扑感知方法：电子显微镜和历史图。

Segblocks通过根据图像区域的复杂性动态调整处理分辨率来降低现有神经网络的计算成本。我们的方法将图像拆分为低复杂性的块和尺寸块块，从而减少了操作数量和内存消耗的数量。轻量级的政策网络选择复杂区域，是使用强化学习训练的。此外，我们介绍了CUDA中实现的几个模块以处理块中的图像。最重要的是，我们的新颖的阻止模块可以防止现有方法遭受的块边界的特征不连续性，同时保持记忆消耗受到控制。我们对语义分割的城市景观，Camvid和Mapillary Vistas数据集进行的实验表明，与具有相似复杂性的静态基准相比，动态处理图像与复杂性的折衷相对于复杂性更高。例如，我们的方法将SwiftNet-RN18的浮点操作数量降低了60％，并将推理速度提高50％，而CityScapes的MIOU准确性仅降低0.3％。

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks have been adopted for salient object detection and achieved the state-of-the-art performance. Most of the previous works however focus on region accuracy but not on the boundary quality. In this paper, we propose a predict-refine architecture, BASNet, and a new hybrid loss for Boundary-Aware Salient object detection. Specifically, the architecture is composed of a densely supervised Encoder-Decoder network and a residual refinement module, which are respectively in charge of saliency prediction and saliency map refinement. The hybrid loss guides the network to learn the transformation between the input image and the ground truth in a three-level hierarchy -pixel-, patch-and map-level -by fusing Binary Cross Entropy (BCE), Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) and Intersectionover-Union (IoU) losses. Equipped with the hybrid loss, the proposed predict-refine architecture is able to effectively segment the salient object regions and accurately predict the fine structures with clear boundaries. Experimental results on six public datasets show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods both in terms of regional and boundary evaluation measures. Our method runs at over 25 fps on a single GPU. The code is available at: https://github.com/NathanUA/BASNet.

Due to object detection's close relationship with video analysis and image understanding, it has attracted much research attention in recent years. Traditional object detection methods are built on handcrafted features and shallow trainable architectures. Their performance easily stagnates by constructing complex ensembles which combine multiple low-level image features with high-level context from object detectors and scene classifiers. With the rapid development in deep learning, more powerful tools, which are able to learn semantic, high-level, deeper features, are introduced to address the problems existing in traditional architectures. These models behave differently in network architecture, training strategy and optimization function, etc. In this paper, we provide a review on deep learning based object detection frameworks. Our review begins with a brief introduction on the history of deep learning and its representative tool, namely Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Then we focus on typical generic object detection architectures along with some modifications and useful tricks to improve detection performance further. As distinct specific detection tasks exhibit different characteristics, we also briefly survey several specific tasks, including salient object detection, face detection and pedestrian detection. Experimental analyses are also provided to compare various methods and draw some meaningful conclusions. Finally, several promising directions and tasks are provided to serve as guidelines for future work in both object detection and relevant neural network based learning systems.

The deficiency of segmentation labels is one of the main obstacles to semantic segmentation in the wild. To alleviate this issue, we present a novel framework that generates segmentation labels of images given their image-level class labels. In this weakly supervised setting, trained models have been known to segment local discriminative parts rather than the entire object area. Our solution is to propagate such local responses to nearby areas which belong to the same semantic entity. To this end, we propose a Deep Neural Network (DNN) called AffinityNet that predicts semantic affinity between a pair of adjacent image coordinates. The semantic propagation is then realized by random walk with the affinities predicted by AffinityNet. More importantly, the supervision employed to train AffinityNet is given by the initial discriminative part segmentation, which is incomplete as a segmentation annotation but sufficient for learning semantic affinities within small image areas. Thus the entire framework relies only on image-level class labels and does not require any extra data or annotations. On the PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset, a DNN learned with segmentation labels generated by our method outperforms previous models trained with the same level of supervision, and is even as competitive as those relying on stronger supervision.

两阶段和基于查询的实例分段方法取得了显着的结果。然而，他们的分段面具仍然非常粗糙。在本文中，我们呈现了用于高质量高效的实例分割的掩模转发器。我们的掩模转发器代替常规密集的张量，而不是在常规密集的张量上进行分解，并表示作为Quadtree的图像区域。我们基于变换器的方法仅处理检测到的错误易于树节点，并并行自我纠正其错误。虽然这些稀疏的像素仅构成总数的小比例，但它们对最终掩模质量至关重要。这允许掩模转换器以低计算成本预测高精度的实例掩模。广泛的实验表明，掩模转发器在三个流行的基准上优于当前实例分段方法，显着改善了COCO和BDD100K上的大型+3.0掩模AP的+3.0掩模AP的大余量和CityScapes上的+6.6边界AP。我们的代码和培训的型号将在http://vis.xyz/pub/transfiner提供。

很少有分段旨在学习一个细分模型，该模型可以推广到只有几个培训图像的新课程。在本文中，我们提出了一个交叉引用和局部全球条件网络（CRCNET），以进行几次分割。与以前仅预测查询图像掩码的作品不同，我们提出的模型同时对支持图像和查询图像进行了预测。我们的网络可以更好地在两个图像中使用交叉引用机制找到同时出现的对象，从而有助于少量分割任务。为了进一步改善功能比较，我们开发了一个局部全球条件模块，以捕获全球和本地关系。我们还开发了一个掩模修补模块，以重新完善前景区域的预测。Pascal VOC 2012，MS Coco和FSS-1000数据集的实验表明，我们的网络实现了新的最新性能。

语义分割是将类标签分配给图像中每个像素的问题，并且是自动车辆视觉堆栈的重要组成部分，可促进场景的理解和对象检测。但是，许多表现最高的语义分割模型非常复杂且笨拙，因此不适合在计算资源有限且低延迟操作的板载自动驾驶汽车平台上部署。在这项调查中，我们彻底研究了旨在通过更紧凑，更有效的模型来解决这种未对准的作品，该模型能够在低内存嵌入式系统上部署，同时满足实时推理的限制。我们讨论了该领域中最杰出的作品，根据其主要贡献将它们置于分类法中，最后我们评估了在一致的硬件和软件设置下，所讨论模型的推理速度，这些模型代表了具有高端的典型研究环境GPU和使用低内存嵌入式GPU硬件的现实部署方案。我们的实验结果表明，许多作品能够在资源受限的硬件上实时性能，同时说明延迟和准确性之间的一致权衡。

弱监督的语义细分（WSSS）旨在仅使用用于训练的图像级标签来产生像素类预测。为此，以前的方法采用了通用管道：它们从类激活图（CAM）生成伪口罩，并使用此类掩码来监督分割网络。但是，由于凸轮的局部属性，即它们倾向于仅专注于小的判别对象零件，因此涵盖涵盖整个物体的全部范围的全面伪面罩是一项挑战。在本文中，我们将CAM的局部性与卷积神经网络（CNNS）的质地偏见特性相关联。因此，我们建议利用形状信息来补充质地偏见的CNN特征，从而鼓励掩模预测不仅是全面的，而且还与物体边界相交。我们通过一种新颖的改进方法进一步完善了在线方式的预测，该方法同时考虑了类和颜色亲和力，以生成可靠的伪口罩以监督模型。重要的是，我们的模型是在单阶段框架内进行端到端训练的，因此在培训成本方面有效。通过对Pascal VOC 2012的广泛实验，我们验证了方法在产生精确和形状对准的分割结果方面的有效性。具体而言，我们的模型超过了现有的最新单阶段方法。此外，当在没有铃铛和哨声的简单两阶段管道中采用时，它还在多阶段方法上实现了新的最新性能。
