Joint Semantic
Joint semantic tasks involve simultaneously performing multiple related computer vision or perception tasks, such as semantic segmentation and depth estimation, or semantic segmentation and boundary detection, within a single neural network. Current research focuses on improving efficiency and accuracy through novel architectures like transformers and point-based methods, as well as addressing challenges like uncertainty quantification and the need for lightweight models suitable for resource-constrained devices. This approach offers significant advantages in applications like autonomous driving and robotics by leveraging shared information between tasks to improve performance and reduce computational cost compared to solving each task independently. The resulting improvements in accuracy and efficiency have broad implications across various fields requiring robust and efficient scene understanding.
