Abstract

Contextual information reduces the uncertainty in the dense material segmentation task to improve segmentation quality. Typical contextual information includes object, place labels or extracted feature maps by a neural network. Existing methods typically adopt a pre-trained network to generate contextual feature maps without fine-tuning since dedicated material datasets do not contain contextual labels. As a consequence, these contextual features may not improve the material segmentation performance. In consideration of this problem, this paper proposes a hybrid network architecture, the CAM-SegNet, to learn from contextual and material features during training jointly without extra contextual labels. The utility of our CAM-SegNet is demonstrated by guiding the network to learn boundary-related contextual features with the help of a self-training approach. Experiments show that CAM-SegNet can recognise materials that have similar appearances, achieving an improvement of 3-20% on accuracy and 6-28% on Mean IoU.
