abstract

One of recent trends [30, 31, 14] in network architec- ture design is stacking small filters (e.g., 1x1 or 3x3) in the entire network because the stacked small filters is more ef- ficient than a large kernel, given the same computational complexity. However, in the field of semantic segmenta- tion, where we need to perform dense per-pixel prediction, we find that the large kernel (and effective receptive field) plays an important role when we have to perform the clas- sification and localization tasks simultaneously. Following our design principle, we propose a Global Convolutional Network to address both the classification and localization issues for the semantic segmentation. We also suggest a residual-based boundary refinement to further refine the ob- ject boundaries. Our approach achieves state-of-art perfor- mance on two public benchmarks and significantly outper- forms previous results, 82.2% (vs 80.2%) on PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset and 76.9% (vs 71.8%) on Cityscapes dataset.

Rethinking Atrous Convolution for Semantic Image Segmentation

cs.CV · 2017-06-17 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

DeepLabv3 improves semantic segmentation by capturing multi-scale context with cascaded or parallel atrous convolutions and adding global context to ASPP, achieving better results on PASCAL VOC 2012 without DenseCRF post-processing.
