タイトル: Semantic Segmentation via Domain Adaption and Adversarial Learning

概要： 
Convolutional neural network-based approaches for semantic
segmentation rely on supervision with pixel-level ground truth, but may not
generalize well to unseen image domains. As the labeling process is tedious
and labor intensive, developing algorithms that can adapt source ground
truth labels to the target domain is of great interest. In the first part
of this talk, I will present an adversarial learning method for domain
adaptation in the context of semantic segmentation. Considering semantic
segmentations as structured outputs that contain spatial similarities
between the source and target domains, we adopt adversarial learning in the
output space. To further enhance the adapted model, we construct a
multi-level adversarial network to effectively perform output space domain
adaptation at different feature levels. Extensive experiments and ablation
study are conducted under various domain adaptation settings, including
synthetic-to-real and cross-city scenarios. We show that the proposed
method performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods in terms of
accuracy and visual quality. In the second part of this talk, I will
discuss a method for semi-supervised semantic segmentation using an
adversarial network. While most existing discriminators are trained to
classify input images as real or fake on the image level, we design a
discriminator in a fully convolutional manner to differentiate the
predicted probability maps from the ground truth segmentation distribution
with the consideration of the spatial resolution. We show that the proposed
discriminator can be used to improve semantic segmentation accuracy by
coupling the adversarial loss with the standard cross entropy loss of the
proposed model. In addition, the fully convolutional discriminator enables
semi-supervised learning through discovering the trustworthy regions in
predicted results of unlabeled images, thereby providing additional
supervisory signals. In contrast to existing methods that utilize
weakly-labeled images, our method leverages unlabeled images to enhance the
segmentation model. Experimental results on the PASCAL VOC 2012 and
Cityscapes datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
