HED、RCF and DSS (deep learning)

1.  Holistically-Nested Edge Detection (CVPR 2015 (HED))
2. Richer Convolutional Features for Edge Detection (CVPR 2017 (RCF))
3. Deeply Supervised Salient Object Detection with Short Connections(CVPR 2017 (DSS))

Purpose

Generally speaking, HED、 RCF and DSS aim to solve the following problems:

(1) holistic image training and prediction; 

(2) multi-scale and multi-level feature learning.

(3)high level and low level concat (shot connections)

Model

1. HED

HED automatically learns rich hierarchical representations (guided by deep supervision on side responses) that are important in order to resolve the challenging ambiguity in edge and object boundary detection.
