Abstract:In this work, we propose two different approaches to improve the semantic consistency of Open Set Semantic Segmentation. First, we propose a method called OpenGMM that extends the OpenPCS framework using a Gaussian Mixture of Models to model the distribution of pixels for each class in a multimodal manner. The second approach is a post-processing which uses superpixels to enforce highly homogeneous regions to behave equally, rectifying erroneous classified pixels within these regions, we also proposed a novel superpixel method called FuSS. All tests were performed on ISPRS Vaihingen and Potsdam datasets, and both methods were capable to improve quantitative and qualitative results for both datasets. Besides that, the post-process with FuSS achieved state-of-the-art results for both datasets. The official implementation is available at: \url{https://github.com/iannunes/FuSS}.
Abstract:Open set segmentation is a relatively new and unexploredtask, with just a handful of methods proposed to model suchtasks.We propose a novel method called CoReSeg thattackles the issue using class conditional reconstruction ofthe input images according to their pixelwise mask. Ourmethod conditions each input pixel to all known classes,expecting higher errors for pixels of unknown classes. Itwas observed that the proposed method produces better se-mantic consistency in its predictions, resulting in cleanersegmentation maps that better fit object boundaries. CoRe-Seg outperforms state-of-the-art methods on the Vaihin-gen and Potsdam ISPRS datasets, while also being com-petitive on the Houston 2018 IEEE GRSS Data Fusiondataset. Official implementation for CoReSeg is availableat:https://github.com/iannunes/CoReSeg.
