A self-driving car must be able to reliably handle adverse weather conditions (e.g., snowy) to operate safely. In this paper, we investigate the idea of turning sensor inputs (i.e., images) captured in an adverse condition into a benign one (i.e., sunny), upon which the downstream tasks (e.g., semantic segmentation) can attain high accuracy. Prior work primarily formulates this as an unpaired image-to-image translation problem due to the lack of paired images captured under the exact same camera poses and semantic layouts. While perfectly- aligned images are not available, one can easily obtain coarsely- paired images. For instance, many people drive the same routes daily in both good and adverse weather; thus, images captured at close-by GPS locations can form a pair. Though data from repeated traversals are unlikely to capture the same foreground objects, we posit that they provide rich contextual information to supervise the image translation model. To this end, we propose a novel training objective leveraging coarsely- aligned image pairs. We show that our coarsely-aligned training scheme leads to a better image translation quality and improved downstream tasks, such as semantic segmentation, monocular depth estimation, and visual localization.more » « less

The dataset contains aerial photographs of Arctic sea ice obtained during the Healy-Oden Trans Arctic Expedition (HOTRAX) captured from a helicopter between 5 August and 30 September, 2005. A total of 1013 images were captured, but only 100 images were labeled. The subset of 100 images was created exclusively for the purpose of segmenting sea ice, meltponds, and open water. Original images, labels, and code for segmentation are included in the above files. For dataset, refer site: Ivan Sudakow, Vijayan Asari, Ruixu Liu, & Denis Demchev. (2022).

null (Ed.)We introduce DeepIR, a new thermal image processing framework that combines physically accurate sensor modeling with deep network-based image representation. Our key enabling observations are that the images captured by thermal sensors can be factored into slowly changing, scene-independent sensor non-uniformities (that can be accurately modeled using physics) and a scene-specific radiance flux (that is well-represented using a deep network-based regularizer). DeepIR requires neither training data nor periodic ground-truth calibration with a known black body target--making it well suited for practical computer vision tasks. We demonstrate the power of going DeepIR by developing new denoising and super-resolution algorithms that exploit multiple images of the scene captured with camera jitter. Simulated and real data experiments demonstrate that DeepIR can perform high-quality non-uniformity correction with as few as three images, achieving a 10dB PSNR improvement over competing approaches.more » « less
