In this work, we train a network to simultaneously perform segmentation and pixel-wise Out-of-Distribution (OoD) detection, such that the segmentation of unknown regions of scenes can be rejected. This is made possible by leveraging an OoD dataset with a novel contrastive objective and data augmentation scheme. By combining data including unknown classes in the training data, a more robust feature representation can be learned with known classes represented distinctly from those unknown. When presented with unknown classes or conditions, many current approaches for segmentation frequently exhibit high confidence in their inaccurate segmentations and cannot be trusted in many operational environments. We validate our system on a real-world dataset of unusual driving scenes, and show that by selectively segmenting scenes based on what is predicted as OoD, we can increase the segmentation accuracy by an IoU of 0.2 with respect to alternative techniques.

Novelty detection is the process of determining whether a query example differs from the learned training distribution. Previous methods attempt to learn the representation of the normal samples via generative adversarial networks (GANs). However, th ey will suffer from instability training, mode dropping, and low discriminative ability. Recently, various pretext tasks (e.g. rotation prediction and clustering) have been proposed for self-supervised learning in novelty detection. However, the learned latent features are still low discriminative. We overcome such problems by introducing a novel decoder-encoder framework. Firstly, a generative network (a.k.a. decoder) learns the representation by mapping the initialized latent vector to an image. In particular, this vector is initialized by considering the entire distribution of training data to avoid the problem of mode-dropping. Secondly, a contrastive network (a.k.a. encoder) aims to ``learn to compare through mutual information estimation, which directly helps the generative network to obtain a more discriminative representation by using a negative data augmentation strategy. Extensive experiments show that our model has significant superiority over cutting-edge novelty detectors and achieves new state-of-the-art results on some novelty detection benchmarks, e.g. CIFAR10 and DCASE. Moreover, our model is more stable for training in a non-adversarial manner, compared to other adversarial based novelty detection methods.
Todays most popular approaches to keypoint detection involve very complex network architectures that aim to learn holistic representations of all keypoints. In this work, we take a step back and ask: Can we simply learn a local keypoint representatio n from the output of a standard backbone architecture? This will help make the network simpler and more robust, particularly if large parts of the object are occluded. We demonstrate that this is possible by looking at the problem from the perspective of representation learning. Specifically, the keypoint kernels need to be chosen to optimize three types of distances in the feature space: Features of the same keypoint should be similar to each other, while differing from those of other keypoints, and also being distinct from features from the background clutter. We formulate this optimization process within a framework, which we call CoKe, which includes supervised contrastive learning. CoKe needs to make several approximations to enable representation learning process on large datasets. In particular, we introduce a clutter bank to approximate non-keypoint features, and a momentum update to compute the keypoint representation while training the feature extractor. Our experiments show that CoKe achieves state-of-the-art results compared to approaches that jointly represent all keypoints holistically (Stacked Hourglass Networks, MSS-Net) as well as to approaches that are supervised by detailed 3D object geometry (StarMap). Moreover, CoKe is robust and performs exceptionally well when objects are partially occluded and significantly outperforms related work on a range of diverse datasets (PASCAL3D+, MPII, ObjectNet3D).
Pretrained Transformers achieve remarkable performance when training and test data are from the same distribution. However, in real-world scenarios, the model often faces out-of-distribution (OOD) instances that can cause severe semantic shift proble ms at inference time. Therefore, in practice, a reliable model should identify such instances, and then either reject them during inference or pass them over to models that handle another distribution. In this paper, we develop an unsupervised OOD detection method, in which only the in-distribution (ID) data are used in training. We propose to fine-tune the Transformers with a contrastive loss, which improves the compactness of representations, such that OOD instances can be better differentiated from ID ones. These OOD instances can then be accurately detected using the Mahalanobis distance in the models penultimate layer. We experiment with comprehensive settings and achieve near-perfect OOD detection performance, outperforming baselines drastically. We further investigate the rationales behind the improvement, finding that more compact representations through margin-based contrastive learning bring the improvement. We release our code to the community for future research.
In this paper, we tackle the detection of out-of-distribution (OOD) objects in semantic segmentation. By analyzing the literature, we found that current methods are either accurate or fast but not both which limits their usability in real world appli cations. To get the best of both aspects, we propose to mitigate the common shortcomings by following four design principles: decoupling the OOD detection from the segmentation task, observing the entire segmentation network instead of just its output, generating training data for the OOD detector by leveraging blind spots in the segmentation network and focusing the generated data on localized regions in the image to simulate OOD objects. Our main contribution is a new OOD detection architecture called ObsNet associated with a dedicated training scheme based on Local Adversarial Attacks (LAA). We validate the soundness of our approach across numerous ablation studies. We also show it obtains top performances both in speed and accuracy when compared to ten recent methods of the literature on three different datasets.
We introduce a novel approach to unsupervised and semi-supervised domain adaptation for semantic segmentation. Unlike many earlier methods that rely on adversarial learning for feature alignment, we leverage contrastive learning to bridge the domain gap by aligning the features of structurally similar label patches across domains. As a result, the networks are easier to train and deliver better performance. Our approach consistently outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised and semi-supervised methods on two challenging domain adaptive segmentation tasks, particularly with a small number of target domain annotations. It can also be naturally extended to weakly-supervised domain adaptation, where only a minor drop in accuracy can save up to 75% of annotation cost.
