In plain words: A single image-processing network predicts depth, surface normals, and scene labels by refining its guess step by step from coarse to fine, straight from the photo with no pre-cutting into regions. It beat the best previous results on all three tasks.

Abstract · Predicting Depth, Surface Normals and Semantic Labels with a Common Multi-Scale Convolutional Architecture

In this paper we address three different computer vision tasks using a single basic architecture: depth prediction, surface normal estimation, and semantic labeling. We use a multiscale convolutional network that is able to adapt easily to each task using only small modifications, regressing from the input image to the output map directly. Our method progressively refines predictions using a sequence of scales, and captures many image details without any superpixels or low-level segmentation. We achieve state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks for all three tasks.
