An unsupervised real to virtual domain unification model for highway driving, or DU-drive, employs a conditional generative adversarial network to transform driving images in a real domain to their canonical representations in the virtual domain, from which vehicle control commands are predicted. In the case where there are multiple real datasets, a real-to-virtual generator may be independently trained for each real domain and a global predictor could be trained with data from multiple real domains. Qualitative experiment results show this model can effectively transform real images to the virtual domain while only keeping the minimal sufficient information, and quantitative results verify that such canonical representation can eliminate domain shift and boost the performance of control command prediction task.

Unsupervised real-to-virtual domain unification for end-to-end highway driving

Organ segmentation in chest X-rays using convolutional neural networks is disclosed. One embodiment provides a method to train a convolutional segmentation network with chest X-ray images to generate pixel-level predictions of target classes. Another embodiment will also train a critic network with an input mask, wherein the input mask is one of a segmentation network mask and a ground truth annotation, and outputting a probability that the input mask is the ground truth annotation instead of the prediction by the segmentation network, and to provide the probability output by the critic network to the segmentation network to guide the segmentation network to generate masks more consistent with learned higher-order structures.
