About this paper

Heiko H. Schütt, Wei Ji Ma

The authors introduce an unsupervised vision model that jointly learns image features and local connections by predicting relationships between nearby locations. The inferred connections indicate which locations may belong together and support contour extraction through additional graph processing. On BSDS500, first-layer Predseg1 reaches F(ODS) 0.74, versus 0.73 for gPb-owt-ucm; deeper Predseg1 performs substantially worse, and supervised contour systems score higher.
