What's There in the Dark

2019-09-24 · 26th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), Taipei, Taiwan 2019 9 · Sauradip Nag, Saptakatha Adak, Sukhendu Das

Scene Parsing is an important cog for modern autonomous driving systems. Most of the works in semantic segmentation pertains to day-time scenes with favourable weather and illumination conditions. In this paper, we propose a novel deep architecture, NiSeNet, that performs semantic segmentation of night scenes using a domain mapping approach of synthetic to real data. It is a dual-channel network, where we designed a Real channel using DeepLabV3+ coupled with an MSE loss to preserve the spatial information. In addition, we used an Adaptive channel reducing the domain gap between synthetic and real night images, which also complements the failures of Real channel output. Apart from the dual channel, we introduced a novel fusion scheme to fuse the outputs of two channels. In addition to that, we compiled a new dataset Urban Night Driving Dataset (UNDD); it consists of 7125 unlabelled day and night images; additionally, it has 75 night images with pixel-level annotations having classes equivalent to Cityscapes dataset. We evaluated our approach on the Berkley Deep Drive dataset, the challenging Mapillary dataset and UNDD dataset to exhibit that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art techniques in terms of accuracy and visual quality.

First-Person Activity Forecasting with Online Inverse Reinforcement Learning

2016-12-22 · ICCV 2017 10 · Nicholas Rhinehart, Kris M. Kitani

We address the problem of incrementally modeling and forecasting long-term goals of a first-person camera wearer: what the user will do, where they will go, and what goal they seek. In contrast to prior work in trajector…

Interpreting Deep Classifier by Visual Distillation of Dark Knowledge

2018-03-11 · Kai Xu, Dae Hoon Park, Chang Yi, Charles Sutton

Interpreting black box classifiers, such as deep networks, allows an analyst to validate a classifier before it is deployed in a high-stakes setting. A natural idea is to visualize the deep network's representations, so …

Learning of Colors from Color Names: Distribution and Point Estimation

2017-09-27 · Lyndon White, Roberto Togneri, Wei Liu, Mohammed Bennamoun

Color names are often made up of multiple words. As a task in natural language understanding we investigate in depth the capacity of neural networks based on sums of word embeddings (SOWE), recurrence (LSTM and GRU based…
