TLDR
The key insight is to build “fully convolutional” networks that take input of arbitrary size and produce correspondingly-sized output with efficient inference and learning.Abstract:
Convolutional networks are powerful visual models that yield hierarchies of features. We show that convolutional networks by themselves, trained end-to-end, pixels-to-pixels, exceed the state-of-the-art in semantic segmentation. Our key insight is to build “fully convolutional” networks that take input of arbitrary size and produce correspondingly-sized output with efficient inference and learning. We define and detail the space of fully convolutional networks, explain their application to spatially dense prediction tasks, and draw connections to prior models. We adapt contemporary classification networks (AlexNet [20], the VGG net [31], and GoogLeNet [32]) into fully convolutional networks and transfer their learned representations by fine-tuning [3] to the segmentation task. We then define a skip architecture that combines semantic information from a deep, coarse layer with appearance information from a shallow, fine layer to produce accurate and detailed segmentations. Our fully convolutional network achieves state-of-the-art segmentation of PASCAL VOC (20% relative improvement to 62.2% mean IU on 2012), NYUDv2, and SIFT Flow, while inference takes less than one fifth of a second for a typical image.read more

U-Net: Convolutional Networks for Biomedical Image Segmentation
TL;DR: Neber et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a network and training strategy that relies on the strong use of data augmentation to use the available annotated samples more efficiently, which can be trained end-to-end from very few images and outperforms the prior best method (a sliding-window convolutional network) on the ISBI challenge for segmentation of neuronal structures in electron microscopic stacks.

Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition
TL;DR: This work presents a residual learning framework to ease the training of networks that are substantially deeper than those used previously, and provides comprehensive empirical evidence showing that these residual networks are easier to optimize, and can gain accuracy from considerably increased depth.

Densely Connected Convolutional Networks
TL;DR: DenseNet as mentioned in this paper proposes to connect each layer to every other layer in a feed-forward fashion, which can alleviate the vanishing gradient problem, strengthen feature propagation, encourage feature reuse, and substantially reduce the number of parameters.

Faster R-CNN: Towards Real-Time Object Detection with Region Proposal Networks
TL;DR: This work introduces a Region Proposal Network (RPN) that shares full-image convolutional features with the detection network, thus enabling nearly cost-free region proposals and further merge RPN and Fast R-CNN into a single network by sharing their convolutionAL features.

Simultaneous Detection and Segmentation
TL;DR: This work builds on recent work that uses convolutional neural networks to classify category-independent region proposals (R-CNN), introducing a novel architecture tailored for SDS, and uses category-specific, top-down figure-ground predictions to refine the bottom-up proposals.

Part-Based R-CNNs for Fine-Grained Category Detection
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a model for fine-grained categorization by leveraging deep convolutional features computed on bottom-up region proposals, which learns whole-object and part detectors, enforces learned geometric constraints between them, and predicts a finegrained category from a pose normalized representation.

Representation of local geometry in the visual system
Jan J. Koenderink,A J van Doom +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a convolution with certain reasonable receptive field (RF) profiles yields the exact partial derivatives of the retinal illuminance blurred to a specified degree and how this representation can function as the substrate for “point processors” computing geometrical features such as edge curvature.

Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks for Scene Labeling
TL;DR: This work proposes an approach that consists of a recurrent convolutional neural network which allows us to consider a large input context while limiting the capacity of the model, and yields state-of-the-art performance on both the Stanford Background Dataset and the SIFT FlowDataset while remaining very fast at test time.
