Mining self-similarity: Label super-resolution with epitomic representations

원문 초록

We show that simple patch-based models, such as epitomes, can have superior performance to the current state of the art in semantic segmentation and label super-resolution, which uses deep convolutional neural networks. We derive a new training algorithm for epitomes which allows, for the first time, learning from very large data sets and derive a label super-resolution algorithm as a statistical inference algorithm over epitomic representations. We illustrate our methods on land cover mapping and medical image analysis tasks.
