模型的时间/空间接受场在顺序/空间任务中起重要作用。大型接受场有助于长期关系,而小型接受场有助于捕获当地的细节。现有方法构建具有手工设计的接收场的模型。我们可以有效地搜索接收场合组合以取代手工设计的模式吗?为了回答这个问题,我们建议通过全球到本地搜索方案找到更好的接受现场组合。我们的搜索方案利用了全局搜索以找到粗糙的组合和本地搜索,以进一步获得精致的接收场组合。全球搜索发现除了人类设计的模式以外的其他可能的粗糙组合。除全球搜索外,我们提出了一种期望引导的迭代局部搜索方案,以有效地完善组合。我们的RF-NEXT模型,将接受现场搜索插入各种模型,提高许多任务的性能,例如时间动作分割,对象检测,实例分割和语音综合。源代码可在http://mmcheng.net/rfnext上公开获得。

Representing features at multiple scales is of great importance for numerous vision tasks. Recent advances in backbone convolutional neural networks (CNNs) continually demonstrate stronger multi-scale representation ability, leading to consistent performance gains on a wide range of applications. However, most existing methods represent the multi-scale features in a layerwise manner. In this paper, we propose a novel building block for CNNs, namely Res2Net, by constructing hierarchical residual-like connections within one single residual block. The Res2Net represents multi-scale features at a granular level and increases the range of receptive fields for each network layer. The proposed Res2Net block can be plugged into the state-of-the-art backbone CNN models, e.g., ResNet, ResNeXt, and DLA. We evaluate the Res2Net block on all these models and demonstrate consistent performance gains over baseline models on widely-used datasets, e.g., CIFAR-100 and ImageNet. Further ablation studies and experimental results on representative computer vision tasks, i.e., object detection, class activation mapping, and salient object detection, further verify the superiority of the Res2Net over the state-of-the-art baseline methods. The source code and trained models are available on https://mmcheng.net/res2net/.

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.

Astounding results from Transformer models on natural language tasks have intrigued the vision community to study their application to computer vision problems. Among their salient benefits, Transformers enable modeling long dependencies between input sequence elements and support parallel processing of sequence as compared to recurrent networks e.g., Long short-term memory (LSTM). Different from convolutional networks, Transformers require minimal inductive biases for their design and are naturally suited as set-functions. Furthermore, the straightforward design of Transformers allows processing multiple modalities (e.g., images, videos, text and speech) using similar processing blocks and demonstrates excellent scalability to very large capacity networks and huge datasets. These strengths have led to exciting progress on a number of vision tasks using Transformer networks. This survey aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the Transformer models in the computer vision discipline. We start with an introduction to fundamental concepts behind the success of Transformers i.e., self-attention, large-scale pre-training, and bidirectional feature encoding. We then cover extensive applications of transformers in vision including popular recognition tasks (e.g., image classification, object detection, action recognition, and segmentation), generative modeling, multi-modal tasks (e.g., visual-question answering, visual reasoning, and visual grounding), video processing (e.g., activity recognition, video forecasting), low-level vision (e.g., image super-resolution, image enhancement, and colorization) and 3D analysis (e.g., point cloud classification and segmentation). We compare the respective advantages and limitations of popular techniques both in terms of architectural design and their experimental value. Finally, we provide an analysis on open research directions and possible future works. We hope this effort will ignite further interest in the community to solve current challenges towards the application of transformer models in computer vision.

现有的多尺度解决方案会导致仅增加接受场大小的风险,同时忽略小型接受场。因此,有效构建自适应神经网络以识别各种空间尺度对象是一个具有挑战性的问题。为了解决这个问题,我们首先引入一个新的注意力维度,即除了现有的注意力维度(例如渠道,空间和分支)之外,并提出了一个新颖的选择性深度注意网络,以对称地处理各种视觉中的多尺度对象任务。具体而言,在给定神经网络的每个阶段内的块,即重新连接,输出层次功能映射共享相同的分辨率但具有不同的接收场大小。基于此结构属性,我们设计了一个舞台建筑模块,即SDA,其中包括树干分支和类似SE的注意力分支。躯干分支的块输出融合在一起,以通过注意力分支指导其深度注意力分配。根据提出的注意机制,我们可以动态选择不同的深度特征,这有助于自适应调整可变大小输入对象的接收场大小。这样,跨块信息相互作用会导致沿深度方向的远距离依赖关系。与其他多尺度方法相比,我们的SDA方法结合了从以前的块到舞台输出的多个接受场,从而提供了更广泛,更丰富的有效接收场。此外,我们的方法可以用作其他多尺度网络以及注意力网络的可插入模块,并创造为SDA- $ x $ net。它们的组合进一步扩展了有效的接受场的范围,可以实现可解释的神经网络。我们的源代码可在\ url {https://github.com/qingbeiguo/sda-xnet.git}中获得。

大多数最先进的实例级人类解析模型都采用了两阶段的基于锚的探测器,因此无法避免启发式锚盒设计和像素级别缺乏分析。为了解决这两个问题,我们设计了一个实例级人类解析网络,该网络在像素级别上无锚固且可解决。它由两个简单的子网络组成:一个用于边界框预测的无锚检测头和一个用于人体分割的边缘引导解析头。无锚探测器的头继承了像素样的优点,并有效地避免了对象检测应用中证明的超参数的敏感性。通过引入部分感知的边界线索,边缘引导的解析头能够将相邻的人类部分与彼此区分开,最多可在一个人类实例中,甚至重叠的实例。同时,利用了精炼的头部整合盒子级别的分数和部分分析质量,以提高解析结果的质量。在两个多个人类解析数据集(即CIHP和LV-MHP-V2.0)和一个视频实例级人类解析数据集(即VIP)上进行实验,表明我们的方法实现了超过全球级别和实例级别的性能最新的一阶段自上而下的替代方案。

有效地对视频中的空间信息进行建模对于动作识别至关重要。为了实现这一目标,最先进的方法通常采用卷积操作员和密集的相互作用模块,例如非本地块。但是,这些方法无法准确地符合视频中的各种事件。一方面,采用的卷积是有固定尺度的,因此在各种尺度的事件中挣扎。另一方面,密集的相互作用建模范式仅在动作 - 欧元零件时实现次优性能,给最终预测带来了其他噪音。在本文中,我们提出了一个统一的动作识别框架,以通过引入以下设计来研究视频内容的动态性质。首先,在提取本地提示时,我们会生成动态尺度的时空内核,以适应各种事件。其次,为了将这些线索准确地汇总为全局视频表示形式,我们建议仅通过变压器在一些选定的前景对象之间进行交互,从而产生稀疏的范式。我们将提出的框架称为事件自适应网络(EAN),因为这两个关键设计都适应输入视频内容。为了利用本地细分市场内的短期运动,我们提出了一种新颖有效的潜在运动代码(LMC)模块,进一步改善了框架的性能。在几个大规模视频数据集上进行了广泛的实验,例如,某种东西,动力学和潜水48,验证了我们的模型是否在低拖鞋上实现了最先进或竞争性的表演。代码可在:https://github.com/tianyuan168326/ean-pytorch中找到。

Contextual information is vital in visual understanding problems, such as semantic segmentation and object detection. We propose a Criss-Cross Network (CCNet) for obtaining full-image contextual information in a very effective and efficient way. Concretely, for each pixel, a novel criss-cross attention module harvests the contextual information of all the pixels on its criss-cross path. By taking a further recurrent operation, each pixel can finally capture the full-image dependencies. Besides, a category consistent loss is proposed to enforce the criss-cross attention module to produce more discriminative features. Overall, CCNet is with the following merits: 1) GPU memory friendly. Compared with the non-local block, the proposed recurrent criss-cross attention module requires 11× less GPU memory usage. 2) High computational efficiency. The recurrent criss-cross attention significantly reduces FLOPs by about 85% of the non-local block. 3) The state-of-the-art performance. We conduct extensive experiments on semantic segmentation benchmarks including Cityscapes, ADE20K, human parsing benchmark LIP, instance segmentation benchmark COCO, video segmentation benchmark CamVid. In particular, our CCNet achieves the mIoU scores of 81.9%, 45.76% and 55.47% on the Cityscapes test set, the ADE20K validation set and the LIP validation set respectively, which are the new state-of-the-art results.

ous vision tasks without convolutions, where it can be used as a direct replacement for CNN backbones. (3) We validate PVT through extensive experiments, showing that it boosts the performance of many downstream tasks, including object detection, instance and semantic segmentation. For example, with a comparable number of parameters, PVT+RetinaNet achieves 40.4 AP on the COCO dataset, surpassing ResNet50+RetinNet (36.3 AP) by 4.1 absolute AP (see Figure 2). We hope that PVT could serve as an alternative and useful backbone for pixel-level predictions and facilitate future research.

最近,已经成功地应用于各种遥感图像(RSI)识别任务的大量基于深度学习的方法。然而,RSI字段中深度学习方法的大多数现有进步严重依赖于手动设计的骨干网络提取的特征,这严重阻碍了由于RSI的复杂性以及先前知识的限制而受到深度学习模型的潜力。在本文中,我们研究了RSI识别任务中的骨干架构的新设计范式,包括场景分类,陆地覆盖分类和对象检测。提出了一种基于权重共享策略和进化算法的一拍架构搜索框架,称为RSBNet,其中包括三个阶段:首先,在层面搜索空间中构造的超空网是在自组装的大型中预先磨削 - 基于集合单路径培训策略进行缩放RSI数据集。接下来,预先培训的SuperNet通过可切换识别模块配备不同的识别头,并分别在目标数据集上进行微调,以获取特定于任务特定的超网络。最后,我们根据没有任何网络训练的进化算法,搜索最佳骨干架构进行不同识别任务。对于不同识别任务的五个基准数据集进行了广泛的实验,结果显示了所提出的搜索范例的有效性,并证明搜索后的骨干能够灵活地调整不同的RSI识别任务并实现令人印象深刻的性能。

视觉表示学习是解决各种视力问题的关键。依靠开创性的网格结构先验,卷积神经网络(CNN)已成为大多数深视觉模型的事实上的标准架构。例如,经典的语义分割方法通常采用带有编码器编码器体系结构的完全横向卷积网络(FCN)。编码器逐渐减少了空间分辨率,并通过更大的接受场来学习更多抽象的视觉概念。由于上下文建模对于分割至关重要,因此最新的努力一直集中在通过扩张(即极度)卷积或插入注意力模块来增加接受场。但是,基于FCN的体系结构保持不变。在本文中,我们旨在通过将视觉表示学习作为序列到序列预测任务来提供替代观点。具体而言,我们部署纯变压器以将图像编码为一系列贴片,而无需局部卷积和分辨率减少。通过在变压器的每一层中建立的全球环境,可以学习更强大的视觉表示形式,以更好地解决视力任务。特别是,我们的细分模型(称为分割变压器(SETR))在ADE20K上擅长(50.28%MIOU,这是提交当天测试排行榜中的第一个位置),Pascal环境(55.83%MIOU),并在CityScapes上达到竞争成果。此外,我们制定了一个分层局部全球(HLG)变压器的家族,其特征是窗户内的本地关注和跨窗户的全球性专注于层次结构和金字塔架构。广泛的实验表明,我们的方法在各种视觉识别任务(例如,图像分类,对象检测和实例分割和语义分割)上实现了吸引力的性能。

语义细分是计算机视觉中的一个流行研究主题,并且在其上做出了许多努力,结果令人印象深刻。在本文中,我们打算搜索可以实时运行此问题的最佳网络结构。为了实现这一目标,我们共同搜索深度,通道,扩张速率和特征空间分辨率,从而导致搜索空间约为2.78*10^324可能的选择。为了处理如此大的搜索空间,我们利用差异架构搜索方法。但是,需要离散地使用使用现有差异方法搜索的体系结构参数,这会导致差异方法找到的架构参数与其离散版本作为体系结构搜索的最终解决方案之间的离散差距。因此,我们从解决方案空间正则化的创新角度来缓解离散差距的问题。具体而言,首先提出了新型的解决方案空间正则化(SSR)损失,以有效鼓励超级网络收敛到其离散。然后,提出了一种新的分层和渐进式解决方案空间缩小方法,以进一步实现较高的搜索效率。此外,我们从理论上表明,SSR损失的优化等同于L_0-NORM正则化,这说明了改善的搜索评估差距。综合实验表明,提出的搜索方案可以有效地找到最佳的网络结构,该结构具有较小的模型大小(1 m)的分割非常快的速度(175 fps),同时保持可比较的精度。

As a powerful engine, vanilla convolution has promoted huge breakthroughs in various computer tasks. However, it often suffers from sample and content agnostic problems, which limits the representation capacities of the convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this paper, we for the first time model the scene features as a combination of the local spatial-adaptive parts owned by the individual and the global shift-invariant parts shared to all individuals, and then propose a novel two-branch dual complementary dynamic convolution (DCDC) operator to flexibly deal with these two types of features. The DCDC operator overcomes the limitations of vanilla convolution and most existing dynamic convolutions who capture only spatial-adaptive features, and thus markedly boosts the representation capacities of CNNs. Experiments show that the DCDC operator based ResNets (DCDC-ResNets) significantly outperform vanilla ResNets and most state-of-the-art dynamic convolutional networks on image classification, as well as downstream tasks including object detection, instance and panoptic segmentation tasks, while with lower FLOPs and parameters.

建模长期依赖关系对于理解计算机视觉中的任务至关重要。尽管卷积神经网络(CNN)在许多视觉任务中都表现出色,但由于它们通常由当地核层组成,因此它们仍然限制捕获长期结构化关系。但是,完全连接的图(例如变形金刚中的自我发项操作)对这种建模是有益的,但是,其计算开销非常有用。在本文中,我们提出了一个动态图形消息传递网络,与建模完全连接的图形相比,该网络大大降低了计算复杂性。这是通过在图表中自适应采样节点(以输入为条件)来实现的,以传递消息传递。基于采样节点,我们动态预测节点依赖性滤波器权重和亲和力矩阵,以在它们之间传播信息。这种公式使我们能够设计一个自我发挥的模块,更重要的是,我们将基于变压器的新骨干网络用于图像分类预处理,并用于解决各种下游任务(对象检测,实例和语义细分)。使用此模型,我们在四个不同任务上的强,最先进的基线方面显示出显着改进。我们的方法还优于完全连接的图形,同时使用较少的浮点操作和参数。代码和型号将在https://github.com/fudan-zvg/dgmn2上公开提供。

这项工作介绍了一个简单的视觉变压器设计,作为对象本地化和实例分段任务的强大基线。变压器最近在图像分类任务中展示了竞争性能。为了采用对象检测和密集的预测任务,许多作品从卷积网络和高度定制的Vit架构继承了多级设计。在这种设计背后,目标是在计算成本和多尺度全球背景的有效聚合之间进行更好的权衡。然而,现有的作品采用多级架构设计作为黑匣子解决方案,无清楚地了解其真正的益处。在本文中,我们全面研究了三个架构设计选择对vit - 空间减少,加倍的频道和多尺度特征 - 并证明了vanilla vit架构可以在没有手动的多尺度特征的情况下实现这一目标,保持原始的Vit设计哲学。我们进一步完成了缩放规则,以优化模型的准确性和计算成本/型号大小的权衡。通过在整个编码器块中利用恒定的特征分辨率和隐藏大小,我们提出了一种称为通用视觉变压器(UVIT)的简单而紧凑的VIT架构,可实现COCO对象检测和实例分段任务的强劲性能。
