Large Scale Shadow Annotation and Detection Using Lazy Annotation and Stacked CNNs

Recent shadow detection algorithms have shown initial success on small datasets of images from specific domains. However, shadow detection on broader image domains is still challenging due to the lack of annotated training data, caused by the intense manual labor required for annotating shadow data....

However, shadow detection on broader image domains is still challenging due to the lack of annotated training data, caused by the intense manual labor required for annotating shadow data. In this paper we propose "lazy annotation", an efficient annotation method where an annotator only needs to mark the important shadow areas and some non-shadow areas. This yields data with noisy labels that are not yet useful for training a shadow detector. We address the problem of label noise by jointly learning a shadow region classifier and recovering the labels in the training set. We consider the training labels as unknowns and formulate label recovery as the minimization of the sum of squared leave-one-out errors of a Least Squares SVM, which can be efficiently optimized. Experimental results show that a classifier trained with recovered labels achieves comparable performance to a classifier trained on the properly annotated data. These results motivated us to collect a new dataset that is 20 times larger than existing datasets and contains a large variety of scenes and image types. Naturally, such a large dataset is appropriate for training deep learning methods. Thus, we propose a stacked Convolutional Neural Network architecture that efficiently trains on patch level shadow examples while incorporating image level semantic information. This means that the detected shadow patches are refined based on image semantics. Our proposed pipeline, trained on recovered labels, performs at state-of-the art level. Furthermore, the proposed model performs exceptionally well on a cross dataset task, proving the generalization power of the proposed architecture and dataset
