Abstract:
Semantic image segmentation, which aims at assigning pixel-wise category, is one of challenging image understanding problems. Global context plays an important role on local pixel-wise category assignment. To make the best of global context, in this paper, we propose dense relation network (DRN) and context-restricted loss (CRL) to aggregate global and local information. DRN uses Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with different skip lengths in spatial directions to get context-aware representations while CRL helps aggregate them to learn consistency. Compared with previous methods, our proposed method takes full advantage of hierarchical contextual representations to produce high-quality results. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves significant state-of-the-art performances on Cityscapes and Pascal Context benchmarks, with mean-IoU of 82.8% and 49.0% respectively.
