A computer vision system including: one or more processors; and memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: determine a semantic multi-scale context feature and an instance multi-scale context feature of an input scene; generate a joint attention map based on the semantic multi-scale context feature and the instance multi-scale context feature; refine the semantic multi-scale context feature and instance multi-scale context feature based on the joint attention map; and generate a panoptic segmentation image based on the refined semantic multi-scale context feature and the refined instance multi-scale context feature.

System and method for dual-value attention and instance boundary aware regression in computer vision system

A method and system for training a neural network are provided. The method includes receiving an input image, selecting at least one data augmentation method from a pool of data augmentation methods, generating an augmented image by applying the selected at least one data augmentation method to the input image, and generating a mixed image from the input image and the augmented image.

Method and apparatus for data efficient semantic segmentation

A system and a method to train a neural network are disclosed. A first image is weakly and strongly augmented. The first image, the weakly and strongly augmented first images are input into a feature extractor to obtain augmented features. Each weakly augmented first image is input to a corresponding first expert head to determine a supervised loss for each weakly augmented first image. Each strongly augmented first image is input to a corresponding second expert head to determine a diversity loss for each strongly augmented first image. The feature extractor is trained to minimize the supervised loss on weakly augmented first images and to minimize a multi-expert consensus loss on strongly augmented first images. Each first expert head is trained to minimize the supervised loss for each weakly augmented first image, and each second expert head is trained to minimize the diversity loss for each strongly augmented first image.
