Dynamic Warping Network for Semantic Video Segmentation by Jiangyun Li, Yikai Zhao, Xingjian He, Xinxin Zhu, Jing Liu

“…However, the imprecise optical flow and the warping operation without any learnable parameters may not achieve accurate feature warping and only bring a slight improvement. In this paper, we propose a novel framework named Dynamic Warping Network (DWNet) to adaptively warp the interframe features for improving the accuracy of warping-based models. …”
