This paper presents a new method for shadow removal using unpaired data, enabling us to avoid tedious annotations and obtain more diverse training samples. However, directly employing adversarial learning and cycle-consistency constraints is insufficient to learn the underlying relationship between the shadow and shadow-free domains, since the mapping between shadow and shadow-free images is not simply one-to-one. To address the problem, we formulate Mask-ShadowGAN, a new deep framework that automatically learns to produce a shadow mask from the input shadow image and then takes the mask to guide the shadow generation via re-formulated cycle-consistency constraints. Particularly, the framework simultaneously learns to produce shadow masks and learns to remove shadows, to maximize the overall performance. Also, we prepared an unpaired dataset for shadow removal and demonstrated the effectiveness of Mask-ShadowGAN on various experiments, even it was trained on unpaired data.

Masked Modeling (MM) has demonstrated widespread success in various vision challenges, by reconstructing masked visual patches. Yet, applying MM for large-scale 3D scenes remains an open problem due to the data sparsity and scene complexity. The conventional random masking paradigm used in 2D images often causes a high risk of ambiguity when recovering the masked region of 3D scenes. To this end, we propose a novel informative-preserved reconstruction, which explores local statistics to discover and preserve the representative structured points, effectively enhancing the pretext masking task for 3D scene understanding. Integrated with a progressive reconstruction manner, our method can concentrate on modeling regional geometry and enjoy less ambiguity for masked reconstruction. Besides, such scenes with progressive masking ratios can also serve to self-distill their intrinsic spatial consistency, requiring to learn the consistent representations from unmasked areas. By elegantly combining informative-preserved reconstruction on masked areas and consistency self-distillation from unmasked areas, a unified framework called MM-3DScene is yielded. We conduct comprehensive experiments on a host of downstream tasks. The consistent improvement (e.g., +6.1% mAP@0.5 on object detection and +2.2% mIoU on semantic segmentation) demonstrates the superiority of our approach.

This paper investigates the indistinguishable points (difficult to predict label) in semantic segmentation for large-scale 3D point clouds. The indistinguishable points consist of those located in complex boundary, points with similar local textures but different categories, and points in isolate small hard areas, which largely harm the performance of 3D semantic segmentation. To address this challenge, we propose a novel Indistinguishable Area Focalization Network (IAF-Net), which selects indistinguishable points adaptively by utilizing the hierarchical semantic features and enhance fine-grained features for points especially those indistinguishable points. We also introduce multi-stage loss to improve the feature representation in a progressive way. Moreover, in order to analyze the segmentation performances of indistinguishable areas, we propose a new evaluation metric called Indistinguishable Points Based Metric (IPBM). Our IAF-Net achieves the comparable results with state-of-the-art performance on several popular 3D point cloud datasets e.g. S3DIS and ScanNet, and clearly outperforms other methods on IPBM.

Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is critical for preventing deep learning models from making incorrect predictions to ensure the safety of artificial intelligence systems. Especially in safety-critical applications such as medical diagnosis and autonomous driving, the cost of incorrect decisions is usually unbearable. However, neural networks often suffer from the overconfidence issue, making high confidence for OOD data which are never seen during training process and may be irrelevant to training data, namely in-distribution (ID) data. Determining the reliability of the prediction is still a difficult and challenging task. In this work, we propose Uncertainty-Estimation with Normalized Logits (UE-NL), a robust learning method for OOD detection, which has three main benefits. (1) Neural networks with UE-NL treat every ID sample equally by predicting the uncertainty score of input data and the uncertainty is added into softmax function to adjust the learning strength of easy and hard samples during training phase, making the model learn robustly and accurately. (2) UE-NL enforces a constant vector norm on the logits to decouple the effect of the increasing output’s norm from optimization process, which causes the overconfidence issue to some extent. (3) UE-NL provides a new metric, the magnitude of uncertainty score, to detect OOD data. Experiments demonstrate that UE-NL achieves top performance on common OOD benchmarks and is more robust to noisy ID data that may be misjudged as OOD data by other methods.

Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) is a challenging problem with important real-world applications. Recent efforts attempting to exploit powerful representations by deep neural networks (DNN) are hindered by the lack of subjectively annotated data. This paper presents a novel BIQA method which overcomes this fundamental obstacle. Specifically, we design a pair of collaborative autoencoders (COAE) consisting of a content autoencoder (CAE) and a distortion autoencoder (DAE) that work together to extract content and distortion representations, which are shown to be highly descriptive of image quality. While the CAE follows a standard codec procedure, we introduce the CAE-encoded feature as an extra input to the DAE’s decoder for reconstructing distorted images, thus effectively forcing DAE’s encoder to extract distortion representations. The self-supervised learning framework allows the COAE including two feature extractors to be trained by almost unlimited amount of data, thus leaving limited samples with annotations to finetune a BIQA model. We will show that the proposed BIQA method achieves state-of-the-art performance and has superior generalization capability over other learning based models.

Image quality assessment (IQA) is the key factor for the fast development of image restoration (IR) algorithms. The most recent IR methods based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have achieved significant improvement in visual performance, but also presented great challenges for quantitative evaluation. Notably, we observe an increasing inconsistency between perceptual quality and the evaluation results. Then we raise two questions: (1) Can existing IQA methods objectively evaluate recent IR algorithms? (2) When focus on beating current benchmarks, are we getting better IR algorithms? To answer these questions and promote the development of IQA methods, we contribute a large-scale IQA dataset, called Perceptual Image Processing Algorithms (PIPAL) dataset. Especially, this dataset includes the results of GAN-based methods, which are missing in previous datasets. We collect more than 1.13 million human judgments to assign subjective scores for PIPAL images using the more reliable "Elo system". Based on PIPAL, we present new benchmarks for both IQA and super-resolution methods. Our results indicate that existing IQA methods cannot fairly evaluate GAN-based IR algorithms. While using appropriate evaluation methods is important, IQA methods should also be updated along with the development of IR algorithms. At last, we improve the performance of IQA networks on GAN-based distortions by introducing anti-aliasing pooling. Experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Typical text spotters follow the two-stage spotting strategy: detect the precise boundary for a text instance first and then perform text recognition within the located text region. While such strategy has achieved substantial progress, there are two underlying limitations. 1) The performance of text recognition depends heavily on the precision of text detection, resulting in the potential error propagation from detection to recognition. 2) The RoI cropping which bridges the detection and recognition brings noise from background and leads to information loss when pooling or interpolating from feature maps. In this work we propose the single shot Self-Reliant Scene Text Spotter (SRSTS), which circumvents these limitations by decoupling recognition from detection. Specifically, we conduct text detection and recognition in parallel and bridge them by the shared positive anchor point. Consequently, our method is able to recognize the text instances correctly even though the precise text boundaries are challenging to detect. Additionally, our method reduces the annotation cost for text detection substantially. Extensive experiments on regular-shaped benchmark and arbitrary-shaped benchmark demonstrate that our SRSTS compares favorably to previous state-of-the-art spotters in terms of both accuracy and efficiency.

In a hierarchically-structured cloud/edge/device computing environment, workload allocation can greatly affect the overall system performance. This paper deals with AI-oriented medical workload generated in emergency rooms (ER) or intensive care units (ICU) in metropolitan areas. The goal is to optimize AI-workload allocation to cloud clusters, edge servers, and end devices so that minimum response time can be achieved in life-saving emergency applications. In particular, we developed a new workload allocation method for the AI workload in distributed cloud/edge/device computing systems. An efficient scheduling and allocation strategy is developed in order to reduce the overall response time to satisfy multi-patient demands. We apply several ICU AI workloads from a comprehensive edge computing benchmark Edge AIBench. The healthcare AI applications involved are short-of-breath alerts, patient phenotype classification, and life-death threats. Our experimental results demonstrate the high efficiency and effectiveness in real-life health-care and emergency applications. Copyright © 2020, The Authors. All rights reserved.
