Unsupervised domain adaptation multi-level adversarial network for semantic segmentation based on multi-modal features by Zeyu WANG, Shuhui BU, Wei HUANG, Yuanpan ZHENG, Qinggang WU, Huawen CHANG, Xu ZHANG

“…In order to solve the problem of the distribution differences of visual, spatial, and semantic features between domains in domain adaptation, an unsupervised domain adaptation multi-level adversarial network for semantic segmentation based on multi-modal features was proposed.Firstly, an attentive fusion semantic segmentation network with three-layer structure was designed to learn the above three types of features from the source domain and target domain, respectively.Secondly, a self-supervised learning method jointing distribution confidence and semantic confidence was introduced into the single-level adversarial learning, so as to achieve the distribution alignment of more target domain pixels in the process of minimizing the distribution distance of the learnt features between domains.Finally, three adversarial branches and three adaptive sub-networks were jointly optimized by the multi-level adversarial learning method based on multi-modal features, which could effectively learn the invariant representation between domains for the features extracted from each sub-network.The experimental results show that compared with existing state-of-the-art methods, on the datasets of GTA5 to Cityscapes, SYNTHIA to Cityscapes, and SUN-RGBD to NYUD-v2 the proposed network achieves the best mean intersection over union of 62.2%, 66.9%, and 59.7%, respectively.…”
