A recently proposed similarity-based feature upsampling pipeline has achieved promising results for dense prediction tasks. However, it has specific limitations that restrict its applicability to a broader range of network structures. To address these issues, the authors propose an optimized framework called ReSFU, which features an explicitly controllable query-key feature alignment, a parameterized paired central difference convolution block for calculating similarity, and a fine-grained neighbor selection strategy on high-resolution features. The authors demonstrate that ReSFU is finely applicable to various types of architectures in a direct high-ratio upsampling manner and achieves satisfactory performance on different dense prediction applications.

For dense prediction tasks, feature upsampling is crucial. A popular pipeline uses high-resolution features as guidance to upsample low-resolution deep features based on local similarity. However, this approach has limitations that make it primarily applicable to hierarchical networks with iterative features as guidance. To overcome these issues, the authors develop a refreshed framework called ReSFU, which optimizes query-key feature alignment, calculates similarity using a parameterized paired central difference convolution block, and selects neighbors on high-resolution features. The result is a more generalizable and deployable method for upsampling features.
