object contour detection with a fully convolutional encoder decoder network
We develop a deep learning algorithm for contour detection with a fully convolutional encoder-decoder network. CEDN fails to detect the objects labeled as background in the PASCAL VOC training set, such as food and applicance. Different from previous low-level edge detection, our algorithm focuses on detecting higher-level object contours. Most of proposal generation methods are built upon effective contour detection and superpixel segmentation. Being fully convolutional, the developed TD-CEDN can operate on an arbitrary image size and the encoder-decoder network emphasizes its symmetric structure which is similar to the SegNet[25] and DeconvNet[24] but not the same, as shown in Fig. Skip-connection is added to the encoder-decoder networks to concatenate the high- and low-level features while retaining the detailed feature information required for the up-sampled output. search for object recognition,, C.L. Zitnick and P.Dollr, Edge boxes: Locating object proposals from [20] proposed a N4-Fields method to process an image in a patch-by-patch manner. inaccurate polygon annotations, yielding much higher precision in object Interestingly, as shown in the Figure6(c), most of wild animal contours, e.g. We present Convolutional Oriented Boundaries (COB), which produces multiscale oriented contours and region hierarchies starting from generic image classification Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Recently deep convolutional networks[29] have demonstrated remarkable ability of learning high-level representations for object recognition[18, 10]. To perform the identification of focused regions and the objects within the image, this thesis proposes the method of aggregating information from the recognition of the edge on image. to use Codespaces.

We develop a simple yet effective fully convolutional encoder-decoder network for object contour detection and the trained model generalizes well to unseen object classes from the same super-categories, yielding significantly higher precision than previous methods. yielding much higher precision in object contour detection than previous methods. We use the Adam method[5], to optimize the network parameters and find it is more efficient than standard stochastic gradient descent. More related to our work is generating segmented object proposals[4, 9, 13, 22, 24, 27, 40]. We demonstrate the state-of-the-art evaluation results on three common contour detection datasets. Our results present both the weak and strong edges better than CEDN on visual effect. Compared to PASCAL VOC, there are 60 unseen object classes for our CEDN contour detector. lixin666/C2SNet It takes 0.1 second to compute the CEDN contour map for a PASCAL image on a high-end GPU and 18 seconds to generate proposals with MCG on a standard CPU. We find that the learned model generalizes well to unseen object classes from the same supercategories on MS COCO and can match state-of-the-art edge detection on BSDS500 with fine-tuning. 2014 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. regions. PASCAL VOC 2012: The PASCAL VOC dataset[16] is a widely-used benchmark with high-quality annotations for object detection and segmentation. We develop a deep learning algorithm for contour detection with a fully convolutional encoder-decoder network. BDSD500[14] is a standard benchmark for contour detection.

Given image-contour pairs, we formulate object contour detection as an image labeling problem. BN and ReLU represent the batch normalization and the activation function, respectively. . It is likely because those novel classes, although seen in our training set (PASCAL VOC), are actually annotated as background. UNet consists of encoder and decoder. With the same training strategy, our method achieved the best ODS=0.781 which is higher than the performance of ODS=0.766 for HED, as shown in Fig. 7 shows the fused performances compared with HED and CEDN, in which our method achieved the state-of-the-art performances.

In this paper, we use a multiscale combinatorial grouping (MCG) algorithm[4] to generate segmented object proposals from our contour detection.

This work proposes a novel approach to both learning and detecting local contour-based representations for mid-level features called sketch tokens, which achieve large improvements in detection accuracy for the bottom-up tasks of pedestrian and object detection as measured on INRIA and PASCAL, respectively. 5, we trained the dataset with two strategies: (1) assigning a pixel a positive label if only if its labeled as positive by at least three annotators, otherwise this pixel was labeled as negative; (2) treating all annotated contour labels as positives. multi-scale and multi-level features; and (2) applying an effective top-down S.Zheng, S.Jayasumana, B.Romera-Paredes, V.Vineet, Z.Su, D.Du, C.Huang, Object Contour Detection extracts information about the object shape in images.

The final contours were fitted with the various shapes by different model parameters by a divide-and-conquer strategy. 2013 IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision. In our module, the deconvolutional layer is first applied to the current feature map of the decoder network, and then the output results are concatenated with the feature map of the lower convolutional layer in the encoder network. We consider contour alignment as a multi-class labeling problem and introduce a dense CRF model[26] where every instance (or background) is assigned with one unique label. DUCF_{out}(h,w,c)(h, w, d^2L), L We also evaluate object proposals on the MS COCO dataset with 80 object classes and analyze the average recalls from different object classes and their super-categories. During training, we fix the encoder parameters (VGG-16) and only optimize decoder parameters. However, because of unpredictable behaviors of human annotators and limitations of polygon representation, the annotated contours usually do not align well with the true image boundaries and thus cannot be directly used as ground truth for training. 2.
