Abstract:
Semantic segmentation aims at predicting one semantic category for each pixel in an image. It is a vital step towards intelligent scene understanding. With the renaissance of connectionism, rapid progress has been made in the field. However, the vast majority of modern segmentation models is pure data-driven, and ignores the structured nature of visual data. In this talk, I will first introduce a pixel-wise metric learning paradigm for semantic segmentation, which explicitly explores cross-image pixel relations in large-scale training dataset for semantic segmentation learning. Moreover, I will present our investigations towards hierarchy-aware segmentation, which aims to better reflect the structured nature of our visual world and echo the hierarchical reasoning mode of human visual perception.
