Title
Ladder-Style DenseNets for Semantic Segmentation of Large Natural Images.
Abstract
Recent progress of deep image classification models provides a large potential to improve state-of-the-art performance in related computer vision tasks. However, the transition to semantic segmentation is hampered by strict memory limitations of contemporary GPUS. The extent of feature map caching required by convolutional backprop poses significant challenges even for moderately sized PASCAL images, while requiring careful architectural considerations when the source resolution is in the megapixel range. To address these concerns, we propose a DenseNet-based ladder-style architecture which is able to deliver high modelling power with very lean representations at the original resolution. The resulting fully convolutional models have few parameters, allow training at megapixel resolution on commodity hardware and display fair semantic segmentation performance even without ImageNet pre-training. We present experiments on Cityscapes and Pascal VOC 2012 datasets and report competitive results.
