A Boundary-Aware Distillation Network for Compressed Video Semantic Segmentation
Auto-TLDR; A Boundary-Aware Distillation Network for Video Semantic Segmentation
Abstract Slides Poster Similar
In recent years optical flow is often estimated to reuse features so as to accelerate video semantic segmentation. With addition of optical flow network, however, extra cost may incur and accuracy may thus be degraded because of repeated warping operation. In this paper, we propose a boundary-aware distillation network (BDNet) that replaces optical flow network with block motion vectors encoded in compressed video, resulting in negligible computational complexity. In order to make salient features, an auxiliary boundary-aware stream is added to the main stream to jointly estimate silhouette and segmentation of objects. To further correct warped features, a well-trained teacher network is employed to transfer knowledge to the main stream. Both boundary-aware stream and the teacher network are neglected during inference stage, so that video segmentation network enables to get faster without increasing any computational burden. By splitting the task into three components, our BDNet shows almost 10% time saving as well as 1.6% accuracy improvement over baseline on the Cityscapes dataset.
