Mapping road networks today is labor-intensive. As a result, road maps have poor coverage outside urban centers in many countries. Systems to automatically infer road network graphs from aerial imagery and GPS trajectories have been proposed to improve coverage of road maps. However, because of high error rates, these systems have not been adopted by mapping communities. We propose machine-assisted map editing, where automatic map inference is integrated into existing, human-centric map editing workflows. To realize this, we build Machine-Assisted iD (MAiD), where we extend the web-based OpenStreetMap editor, iD, with machine-assistance functionality. We complement MAiD with a novel approach for inferring road topology from aerial imagery that combines the speed of prior segmentation approaches with the accuracy of prior iterative graph construction methods. We design MAiD to tackle the addition of major, arterial roads in regions where existing maps have poor coverage, and the incremental improvement of coverage in regions where major roads are already mapped. We conduct two user studies and find that, when participants are given a fixed time to map roads, they are able to add as much as 3.5x more roads with MAiD.
propose improving the segmentation output by using a conditional generative adversarial network @cite_13 . They train the segmentation CNN not only to output the ground truth labels (with a mean-squared-error loss), but also to fool a discriminator CNN that is trained to distinguish between the ground truth labels and the segmentation CNN outputs.

Recently, the convolutional neural network (CNN) has been successfully applied to the task of brain tumor segmentation. However, the effectiveness of a CNN-based method is limited by the small receptive field, and the segmentation results don’t perform well in the spatial contiguity. Therefore, many attempts have been made to strengthen the spatial contiguity of the network output. In this paper, we proposed an adversarial training approach to train the CNN network. A discriminator network is trained along with a generator network which produces the synthetic segmentation results. The discriminator network is encouraged to discriminate the synthetic labels from the ground truth labels. Adversarial adjustments provided by the discriminator network are fed back to the generator network to help reduce the differences between the synthetic labels and the ground truth labels and reinforce the spatial contiguity with high-order loss terms. The presented method is evaluated on the Brats2017 training dataset. The experiment results demonstrate that the presented method could enhance the spatial contiguity of the segmentation results and improve the segmentation accuracy. The main contribution of this paper is a simple semisupervised pipeline that only uses the original training set without collecting extra data. It is challenging in 1) how to obtain more training data only from the training set and 2) how to use the newly generated data. In this work, the generative adversarial network (GAN) is used to generate unlabeled samples. We propose the label smoothing regularization for outliers (LSRO). This method assigns a uniform label distribution to the unlabeled images, which regularizes the supervised model and improves the baseline. We verify the proposed method on a practical problem: person re-identification (re-ID). This task aims to retrieve a query person from other cameras. We adopt the deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) for sample generation, and a baseline convolutional neural network (CNN) for representation learning. Experiments show that adding the GAN-generated data effectively improves the discriminative ability of learned CNN embeddings. On three large-scale datasets, Market- 1501, CUHK03 and DukeMTMC-reID, we obtain +4.37 , +1.6 and +2.46 improvement in rank-1 precision over the baseline CNN, respectively. We additionally apply the proposed method to fine-grained bird recognition and achieve a +0.6 improvement over a strong baseline. The code is available at https: github.com layumi Person-reID_GAN.

In this paper we propose an adversarial training approach to train semantic segmentation models. We train a convolutional semantic segmentation network along with an adversarial network that discriminates segmentation maps coming either from the ground truth or from the segmentation network. The motivation for our approach is that it can detect and correct higher-order inconsistencies between ground truth segmentation maps and the ones produced by the segmentation net. Our experiments show that our adversarial training approach leads to improved accuracy on the Stanford Background and PASCAL VOC 2012 datasets.
