This is the Oxford Brookes Vision
Group code for semantic segmentation the code for which is available for
academic use, in order to access click HERE
to agree to the licence.
This code is based on a body of
work for scene understanding-recognizing objects and recovering their depths.
The work started off with a
method for providing an object label for each pixel in the scene based on our PN
model [IJCV 2009], the code allows you to train up such a classifier if you
provide your own training data, as well as some pre trained classifiers. The
work took best paper at ECCV 2010 as here we showed how to encode costs on
co-occurrence on sets of labels, something we have found to improve performance
as the number of classes increases.
We later extended this work to
also yield the number of objects in the scene [ECCV 2010] (providing a solution
to the “things” vs “stuff” problem, things are
objects with limited spatial extent such as cars, dogs etc. and stuff appears
more amorphous such as sky, vegetation etc.).
The work also allows us to make
a joint inference on depth labels and object labels [BMVC 2010 best paper] and
code for that is included, the data set for that work is here,
we added depth labels to the existing Leuven data set. A talk giving an
overview is here (caution 44 MB).
