Dynamic-budget superpixel active learning for semantic segmentation by Yuemin Wang, Ian Stavness

“…A static budget could result in over- or under-labeling images as the number of high-impact regions in each image can vary.MethodsIn this paper, we present a novel dynamic-budget superpixel querying strategy that can query the optimal numbers of high-uncertainty superpixels in an image to improve the querying efficiency of regional active learning algorithms designed for semantic segmentation.ResultsFor two distinct datasets, we show that by allowing a dynamic budget for each image, the active learning algorithm is more effective compared to static-budget querying at the same low total labeling budget. …”
