Deep learning for visual semantic segmentation

With the proliferation of cameras and communication tools, the amount of visual data available is constantly increasing. With this data, many fascinating applications can be developed today, such as automated driving systems or computer-assisted medical diagnosis. It is therefore important to develop scientific and technological tools that enable high-performance automatic analysis of visual data. In this thesis, we are interested in Visual Semantic Segmentation, one of the high-level task that paves the way towards complete scene understanding. Specifically, it requires a semantic understanding at the pixel level. With the success of deep learning in recent years, semantic segmentation problems are being tackled using deep architectures. Typically, these approaches consist of three components: a deep network, a loss function, and an optimization process on an annotated dataset. In the first part, we focus on the construction of a more appropriate loss function for semantic segmentation. More precisely, we define a novel loss function by employing a semantic edge detection network. This loss imposes pixel-level predictions to be consistent with the ground truth semantic edge information, and thus leads to better-shaped segmentation results. In the second part, we address another important issue, namely, alleviating the need for training segmentation models with large amounts of fully annotated data. We propose a novel attribution method that identifies the most significant regions in an image considered by classification networks. We then integrate our attribution method into a weakly supervised segmentation framework. The semantic segmentation models can thus be trained with only image-level labeled data, which can be easily collected in large quantities. All models proposed in this thesis are thoroughly experimentally evaluated on multiple datasets and the results are competitive with the literature.
