Analysis of Methods for Few-shot Semantic SegmentationRus, Marko (Avtor) Kristan, Matej (Mentor) computer visiondeep learningconvolutional neural networkssemantic segmentationfew-shot learningevaluation protocolFew-shot semantic segmentation, which aims at learning new categories from only a few training examples, has progressed substantially in the last decade. The progress was in part driven by datasets derived from the existing datasets for semantic segmentation. However, these datasets have several drawbacks in the context of the few-shot performance evaluation. PASCAL-5 has a low number of classes and objects well separated from the background, COCO-20 has too diverse classes, and FSS-1000 contains objects that are trivial to segment so that our Zero-Shot Segmentation Baseline (ZSSB) model achieves a high mean mIoU of 81.1%. Therefore we construct a new dataset LVIS-1025 from the general semantic segmentation dataset LVIS by applying new criteria for measuring object predictability and expressiveness. We evaluate three state-of-the-art methods (PANet, PPNet, and ASGNet) on this dataset and show that the ranks change compared to those obtained on existing public datasets. ASGNet on the standard datasets outperforms PANet and PPNet by a large margin, but on LVIS-1025 performs worse, indicating that ASGNet is prone to segmenting the most salient object in the image. We believe that future models developed on LVIS-1025 will have better generalization capabilities and will not that heavily rely on the always-present assumption.20212021-09-06 14:30:00Magistrsko delo/naloga129658sl
