Title
Recurrent Fully Convolutional Networks for Video Segmentation
Abstract
Image segmentation is an important step in most visual tasks. While convolutional neural networks have shown to perform well on single image segmentation, to our knowledge, no study has been done on leveraging recurrent gated architectures for video segmentation. Accordingly, we propose and implement a novel method for online segmentation of video sequences that incorporates temporal data. The network is built from a fully convolutional network and a recurrent unit that works on a sliding window over the temporal data. We use convolutional gated recurrent unit that preserves the spatial information and reduces the parameters learned. Our method has the advantage that it can work in an online fashion instead of operating over the whole input batch of video frames. The network is tested on video segmentation benchmarks in Segtrack V2 and Davis. It proved to have 5% improvement in Segtrack and 3% improvement in Davis in F-measure over a plain fully convolutional network.
