Transparent and reflective objects are omnipresent in our daily life, but their unique visual and optical characteristics are notoriously challenging even for state-of-the-art deep networks of semantic segmentation. To alleviate this challenge, we construct a new large-scale real-world RGB-D dataset called TROSD, which is more comprehensive than existing datasets for transparent and reflective object segmentation. Our TROSD dataset contains 11,060 RGB-D images with three semantic classes in terms of transparent objects, reflective objects, and others, covering a variety of daily scenes. Together with the dataset, we also introduce a novel network (TROSNet) as a high-standard baseline to assist other researchers to develop and benchmark their algorithms of transparent and reflective object segmentation. Moreover, extensive experiments also clearly show that the proposed TROSD dataset has an excellent capacity to facilitate the development of semantic segmentation algorithms with strong generalizability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
