76

Conclusions• The use of motion cues significantly improved the performance• The new resolution parameterization allowed us to have a more uniform

distribution of resolutions• The two-step architecture improved the performance of the original one-

step architecture • Although global optimization is now feasible, there is no clear gain for

generic co-clustering. However, it is useful for semantic co-clustering.• A small decrease in performance is achieved as a result of applying the

resolution selection technique• Submitted to ECCV’16 (waiting decision)

Conclusions• Results achieved in the first part by considering new spatial

configurations are now obsolete after the outstanding results achieved by deep learning techniques.• Results from deep learning techniques were used in the second part.• The proposed multiresolution co-clustering has improved state-of-

the-art results, but we should consider an end-to-end deep learning approach to achieve a more significant improvement.• Semantic segmentation techniques evolve really fast, making this field

very competitive and challenging.
