Understand

Scene understanding is a prerequisite to many high level tasks for any automated intelligent machine operating in real world environments.

  • Recent attempts with supervised learning have shown promise in this direction but also highlighted the need for enormous quantity of supervised data --- performance increases in proportion to the amount of data used.
  • However, this quickly becomes prohibitive when considering the manual labour needed to collect such data.
  • In this work, we focus our attention on depth based semantic per-pixel labelling as a scene understanding problem and show the potential of computer graphics to generate virtually unlimited labelled data from synthetic 3D scenes.
