Repaint: Improving the Generalization of Down-Stream Visual Tasks by Generating Multiple Instances of Training Examples (2110.10366v1)

Published 20 Oct 2021 in cs.CV, cs.AI, and cs.LG

Abstract: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for visual tasks are believed to learn both the low-level textures and high-level object attributes, throughout the network depth. This paper further investigates the texture bias' in CNNs. To this end, we regenerate multiple instances of training examples from each original image, through a process we callrepainting'. The repainted examples preserve the shape and structure of the regions and objects within the scenes, but diversify their texture and color. Our method can regenerate a same image at different daylight, season, or weather conditions, can have colorization or de-colorization effects, or even bring back some texture information from blacked-out areas. The in-place repaint allows us to further use these repainted examples for improving the generalization of CNNs. Through an extensive set of experiments, we demonstrate the usefulness of the repainted examples in training, for the tasks of image classification (ImageNet) and object detection (COCO), over several state-of-the-art network architectures at different capacities, and across different data availability regimes.
