Kivinen, C.K. Williams, N.Heess, and D.Technologies, Visual boundary Each image has 4-8 hand annotated ground truth contours. It employs the use of attention gates (AG) that focus on target structures, while suppressing . It is likely because those novel classes, although seen in our training set (PASCAL VOC), are actually annotated as background. 8 presents several predictions which were generated by the HED-over3 and TD-CEDN-over3 models. Recently deep convolutional networks[29] have demonstrated remarkable ability of learning high-level representations for object recognition[18, 10]. Different from previous low-level edge Our method not only provides accurate predictions but also presents a clear and tidy perception on visual effect. To find the high-fidelity contour ground truth for training, we need to align the annotated contours with the true image boundaries. The overall loss function is formulated as: In our testing stage, the DSN side-output layers will be discarded, which differs from the HED network. Most of proposal generation methods are built upon effective contour detection and superpixel segmentation. S.Guadarrama, and T.Darrell, Caffe: Convolutional architecture for fast Semantic image segmentation via deep parsing network. 9 presents our fused results and the CEDN published predictions. The encoder network consists of 13 convolutional layers which correspond to the first 13 convolutional layers in the VGG16 network designed for object classification. 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 borrow the ideas of full convolution and unpooling from above two works and develop a fully convolutional encoder-decoder network for object contour detection. color, and texture cues. Quantitatively, we evaluate both the pretrained and fine-tuned models on the test set in comparisons with previous methods. Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised active salient object detection (SOD) method that actively acquires a small subset . Conditional random fields as recurrent neural networks. Object proposals are important mid-level representations in computer vision. Different from previous low-level edge detection, our algorithm focuses on detecting higher-level object contours. The proposed network makes the encoding part deeper to extract richer convolutional features.

By combining with the multiscale combinatorial grouping algorithm, our method can generate high-quality segmented object proposals, which significantly advance the state-of-the-art on PASCAL VOC (improving average recall from 0.62 to 0.67) with a relatively small amount of candidates (1660 per image). Convolutional Oriented Boundaries gives a significant leap in performance over the state-of-the-art, and generalizes very well to unseen categories and datasets, and learning to estimate not only contour strength but also orientation provides more accurate results.
