Abstract: Semantic segmentation and depth estimation are two highly related tasks of image pixel-level classification.This paper proposes two different multi-task learning architectures from the perspectives of both shared feature extraction and feature interaction fusion:multi-task learning with SE and pyramid pooling (MTL_SPP) based on the squeeze and excitation (SE) and pyramid pooling,and multi-task learning network (MTL_SSW) based on se and selective weights (SW) to jointly learn semantic segmentation and depth estimation.The MTL_SPP architecture consists of shared backbone feature network and task-specific sub-networks,using the SE module to construct task-specific sub-networks and pyramid pooling to enhance feature extraction.Based on MTL_SPP,MTL_SSW adds SW modules which allows the semantic segmentation features and depth estimation features from task-specific sub-networks to guide and optimize each other, o it can learn more discriminative features.Experimental results show that the two proposed methods obtain better results than the state-of-the-art methods on both NYUD_v2 and SUNRGBD datasets.

Key words: Multi-task learning, Semantic segmentation, Depth estimation, Squeeze and excitation, Selective weights啊啊啊
