Recent works on interactive video object cutout mainly focus on designing dynamic foreground-background (FB) classifiers for segmentation propagation. However, the research on optimally removing errors from the FB classification is sparse, and the errors often accumulate rapidly, causing significant errors in the propagated frames. In this work, we take the initial steps to addressing this problem, and we call this new task emph{segmentation rectification}. Our key observation is that the possibly asymmetrically distributed false positive and false negative errors were handled equally in the conventional methods. We, alternatively, propose to optimally remove these two types of errors. To this effect, we propose a novel bilayer Markov Random Field (MRF) model for this new task. We also adopt the well-established structured learning framework to learn the optimal model from data. Additionally, we propose a novel one-class structured SVM (OSSVM) which greatly speeds up the structured learning process. Our method naturally extends to RGB-D videos as well. Comprehensive experiments on both RGB and RGB-D data demonstrate that our simple and effective method significantly outperforms the segmentation propagation methods adopted in the state-of-the-art video cutout systems, and the results also suggest the potential usefulness of our method in image cutout system.

Representing complex 3D objects as simple geometric primitives, known as shape abstraction, is important for geometric modeling, structural analysis, and shape synthesis. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised shape abstraction method to map a poi nt cloud into a compact cuboid representation. We jointly predict cuboid allocation as part segmentation and cuboid shapes and enforce the consistency between the segmentation and shape abstraction for self-learning. For the cuboid abstraction task, we transform the input point cloud into a set of parametric cuboids using a variational auto-encoder network. The segmentation network allocates each point into a cuboid considering the point-cuboid affinity. Without manual annotations of parts in point clouds, we design four novel losses to jointly supervise the two branches in terms of geometric similarity and cuboid compactness. We evaluate our method on multiple shape collections and demonstrate its superiority over existing shape abstraction methods. Moreover, based on our network architecture and learned representations, our approach supports various applications including structured shape generation, shape interpolation, and structural shape clustering.

Surgical instrument segmentation in robot-assisted surgery (RAS) - especially that using learning-based models - relies on the assumption that training and testing videos are sampled from the same domain. However, it is impractical and expensive to c ollect and annotate sufficient data from every new domain. To greatly increase the label efficiency, we explore a new problem, i.e., adaptive instrument segmentation, which is to effectively adapt one source model to new robotic surgical videos from multiple target domains, only given the annotated instruments in the first frame. We propose MDAL, a meta-learning based dynamic online adaptive learning scheme with a two-stage framework to fast adapt the model parameters on the first frame and partial subsequent frames while predicting the results. MDAL learns the general knowledge of instruments and the fast adaptation ability through the video-specific meta-learning paradigm. The added gradient gate excludes the noisy supervision from pseudo masks for dynamic online adaptation on target videos. We demonstrate empirically that MDAL outperforms other state-of-the-art methods on two datasets (including a real-world RAS dataset). The promising performance on ex-vivo scenes also benefits the downstream tasks such as robot-assisted suturing and camera control.
Domain adaptation (DA) aims to transfer knowledge from a label-rich and related domain (source domain) to a label-scare domain (target domain). Pseudo-labeling has recently been widely explored and used in DA. However, this line of research is still confined to the inaccuracy of pseudo-labels. In this paper, we reveal an interesting observation that the target samples belonging to the classes with larger domain shift are easier to be misclassified compared with the other classes. These classes are called hard class, which deteriorates the performance of DA and restricts the applications of DA. We propose a novel framework, called Hard Class Rectification Pseudo-labeling (HCRPL), to alleviate the hard class problem from two aspects. First, as is difficult to identify the target samples as hard class, we propose a simple yet effective scheme, named Adaptive Prediction Calibration (APC), to calibrate the predictions of the target samples according to the difficulty degree for each class. Second, we further consider that the predictions of target samples belonging to the hard class are vulnerable to perturbations. To prevent these samples to be misclassified easily, we introduce Temporal-Ensembling (TE) and Self-Ensembling (SE) to obtain consistent predictions. The proposed method is evaluated in both unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) and semi-supervised domain adaptation (SSDA). The experimental results on several real-world cross-domain benchmarks, including ImageCLEF, Office-31 and Office-Home, substantiates the superiority of the proposed method.
Template 3D shapes are useful for many tasks in graphics and vision, including fitting observation data, analyzing shape collections, and transferring shape attributes. Because of the variety of geometry and topology of real-world shapes, previous me thods generally use a library of hand-made templates. In this paper, we investigate learning a general shape template from data. To allow for widely varying geometry and topology, we choose an implicit surface representation based on composition of local shape elements. While long known to computer graphics, this representation has not yet been explored in the context of machine learning for vision. We show that structured implicit functions are suitable for learning and allow a network to smoothly and simultaneously fit multiple classes of shapes. The learned shape template supports applications such as shape exploration, correspondence, abstraction, interpolation, and semantic segmentation from an RGB image.
Point clouds provide a compact and efficient representation of 3D shapes. While deep neural networks have achieved impressive results on point cloud learning tasks, they require massive amounts of manually labeled data, which can be costly and time-c onsuming to collect. In this paper, we leverage 3D self-supervision for learning downstream tasks on point clouds with fewer labels. A point cloud can be rotated in infinitely many ways, which provides a rich label-free source for self-supervision. We consider the auxiliary task of predicting rotations that in turn leads to useful features for other tasks such as shape classification and 3D keypoint prediction. Using experiments on ShapeNet and ModelNet, we demonstrate that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art. Moreover, features learned by our model are complementary to other self-supervised methods and combining them leads to further performance improvement.
