Semantic amodal segmentation is a recently proposed extension to instance-aware segmentation that includes the prediction of the invisible region of each object instance. We present the first all-in-one end-to-end trainable model for semantic amodal segmentation that predicts the amodal instance masks as well as their visible and invisible part in a single forward pass. In a detailed analysis, we provide experiments to show which architecture choices are beneficial for an all-in-one amodal segmentation model. On the COCO amodal dataset, our model outperforms the current baseline for amodal segmentation by a large margin. To further evaluate our model, we provide two new datasets with ground truth for semantic amodal segmentation, D2S amodal and COCOA cls. For both datasets, our model provides a strong baseline performance. Using special data augmentation techniques, we show that amodal segmentation on D2S amodal is possible with reasonable performance, even without providing amodal training data.
In 3D reconstruction, parts of the scene can often not be reconstructed because of occlusions. Gupta al @cite_4 combine depth information, superpixels, and hierarchical segmentations for amodal completion of semantic surfaces. Also Silberman al @cite_0 address the problem of surface completion in the setting of a 2.5D sensor. They use a conditional random field in order to complete contours. The completed contours are subsequently used for surface completion.

The availability of commodity depth sensors such as Kinect has enabled development of methods which can densely reconstruct arbitrary scenes. While the results of these methods are accurate and visually appealing, they are quite often incomplete. This is either due to the fact that only part of the space was visible during the data capture process or due to the surfaces being occluded by other objects in the scene. In this paper, we address the problem of completing and refining such reconstructions. We propose a method for scene completion that can infer the layout of the complete room and the full extent of partially occluded objects. We propose a new probabilistic model, Contour Completion Random Fields, that allows us to complete the boundaries of occluded surfaces. We evaluate our method on synthetic and real world reconstructions of 3D scenes and show that it quantitatively and qualitatively outperforms standard methods. We created a large dataset of partial and complete reconstructions which we will make available to the community as a benchmark for the scene completion task. Finally, we demonstrate the practical utility of our algorithm via an augmented-reality application where objects interact with the completed reconstructions inferred by our method. We address the problems of contour detection, bottom-up grouping and semantic segmentation using RGB-D data. We focus on the challenging setting of cluttered indoor scenes, and evaluate our approach on the recently introduced NYU-Depth V2 (NYUD2) dataset [27]. We propose algorithms for object boundary detection and hierarchical segmentation that generalize the gPb-ucm approach of [2] by making effective use of depth information. We show that our system can label each contour with its type (depth, normal or albedo). We also propose a generic method for long-range amodal completion of surfaces and show its effectiveness in grouping. We then turn to the problem of semantic segmentation and propose a simple approach that classifies super pixels into the 40 dominant object categories in NYUD2. We use both generic and class-specific features to encode the appearance and geometry of objects. We also show how our approach can be used for scene classification, and how this contextual information in turn improves object recognition. In all of these tasks, we report significant improvements over the state-of-the-art.
