TopoAL: An Adversarial Learning Approach for Topology-Aware Road Segmentation

Pascal Fua, Leonardo Citraro, Mateusz Kozinski, Subeesh Vasu

Most state-of-the-art approaches to road extraction from aerial images rely on a CNN trained to label road pixels as foreground and remainder of the image as background. The CNN is usually trained by minimizing pixel-wise losses, which is less than ideal t ...

Deep Feature Factorization for Concept Discovery

Sabine Süsstrunk, Radhakrishna Achanta, Edo Collins

We propose Deep Feature Factorization (DFF), a method capable of localizing similar semantic concepts within an image or a set of images. We use DFF to gain insight into a deep convolutional neural network's learned features, where we detect hierarchical c ...

Scale-Adaptive Superpixels

Pascal Fua, Sabine Süsstrunk, Radhakrishna Achanta, Pablo Marquez Neila

Size uniformity is one of the prominent features of superpixels. However, size uniformity rarely conforms to the varying content of an image. The chosen size of the superpixels therefore represents a compromise - how to obtain the fewest superpixels withou ...
