Kaohoon Online has selected stocks with a potential of high growth for investors to consider on February 14, 2020.
KGI Securities has upgraded Krungthai Card Public Company Limited (KTC) rating from Underperform to "Outperform" and a target price from ฿36.00/share to ฿48.00/share.
KGI states that changing to accounting standards under TFRS 9 provides more earnings upside to KTC than downside. On the negative side, TFRS 9 does not allow the company to aggressively write-off NPLs so its NPL ratio should gradually rise from 1% in 2019 to around 7.2% at the end of 2020, and its NPL coverage should decline from 620% in 2019 to around 200% at the end of the year. On the positive side, KTC will not have to set aside huge provisioning expenses and can realize additional non-cash revenue from NPLs.
In addition, past bad debt write-off of around Bt18-20bn (recovery rate 50%) will provide income of around Bt3-3.5bn/yr from bad debt recovery over the next three years. At this level, KGI cuts LLP to Bt5.1bn/Bt4.1bn in 2020/2021 (down from Bt6bn/Bt6.2bn), boosting earnings 12%/18%.
Maybank Kim Eng has given a recommendation on Carabao Group Public Company Limited (CBG) with a target price at ฿102.00/share.
Maybank states that CBG is a safe stock from coronavirus with only 3% of its total exports to China. The share is expected to book higher profit due to its low costs, resulting in an estimate of 7% increase in 4Q19 QoQ and 48% increase YoY. Moreover, CBG's 2019 net profit is expected to grow 17% YoY.

"If my side is unable to agree on an adequate replacement, then some kind of action with regard to the private health insurance market must occur," McConnell said. "No action is not an alternative. We've got the insurance markets imploding all over the country, including in this state."
McConnell, who pledged in 2014 to eradicate the law also known as Obamacare "root and branch," initially raised the prospect of having to work with Democrats last week after he pulled a measure he had crafted behind closed doors. That bill would jettison the ACA's requirement that most individuals prove they have health coverage, would repeal or delay billions in taxes imposed under the current law and would make deep, long-term cuts to the nation's Medicaid program.
How Trump is rolling back Obama?s legacy
During President Trump's first year in office, Congress and his administration plan to review, revoke and overwrite key parts of his predecessor's domestic legacy. Here's what he has done so far.
But while he previously declared that Republicans "need to come up with a solution" if they wanted to make real changes to the nation's health-care system, McConnell on Thursday acknowledged how difficult it is proving to craft an alternative that can satisfy the GOP's conservative and centrist camps.
His suggestion that he and his colleagues might instead try to bolster the insurance exchanges created under the ACA is at odds with Republican talking points that they are beyond repair. The marketplaces were built for people who do not have access to affordable coverage through a job, and at last count slightly more than 10 million Americans had health plans purchased through the exchanges. More than 8 in 10 customers bought their plans with federal subsidies the law provides.
Until now, both congressional Republicans and the Trump administration have contended that the "collapse" of the ACA marketplaces is a main reason to erase much of the 2010 law.
McConnell said Thursday in Glasgow that he continues to "twist the dial" to build support for his legislation. But with no Democrats willing to back it, he can lose no more than two of his 52 caucus members. Vice President Pence would then cast the tiebreaking vote.
A spokesman said Thursday evening that there was "literally" no difference between McConnell's remarks this week and last week, when he said that "either Republicans will agree and change the status quo, or the markets will continue to collapse and we'll have to sit down" with Democrats.
"Both times he was talking about passing something," Don Stewart said. "His point was: The only way Democrats would work with us is [to] prop up Obamacare, not fix it."
Yet the Fourth of July recess has not bolstered the political prospects for McConnell's legislation; GOP senators have been peppered with questions by constituents anxious about the potential impact on their coverage. In the past several days, some senators have implied that considerable work would still be required before the Better Care Reconciliation Act could pass the Senate.
Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.), a conservative who has played a key role in the chamber's health-care negotiations this year, said Wednesday during an appearance before a live audience at WHTM-TV in Harrisburg, "We're still several weeks away from a vote, I think."
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who opposed McConnell's original draft bill, also is voicing skepticism about the chances of reaching a consensus. "If we cannot bring the conference together and agree on repeal legislation, then I think President Trump's absolutely right that we should pass a clean repeal," Cruz told reporters Thursday, adding that such a repeal should be delayed "either a year or two years" to allow time for a replacement.
Earlier in the day, Cruz said in an interview with KTSA radio in San Antonio that though he was feeling hopeful, "I don't know if we get it done or not." The situation, he said, "is precarious."
Meanwhile, Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) told a town hall meeting in rural Palco that "there are people who tell me they are better off" with the ACA, "and I believe them." Moran, who said last week he did not support the GOP measure in its current form, called for "a national debate that includes legislative hearings. . . . It needs to be less politics and more policy."
President Trump has repeatedly pronounced the ACA "dead." And in contrast with their predecessors in the Obama administration, who talked up the law's marketplaces, Health and Human Services officials have been issuing maps, detailing in red the number of U.S. counties in danger of being without marketplace offerings for 2018. The most recent map, released Wednesday, showed 40 "bare" counties in Ohio, Indiana and Nevada.
Cruz calls for 'clean repeal' of ACA if Senate talks fall apart — aligning him with Trump, not McConnell
This naysaying is at odds with official forecasts of the marketplaces' likely future. In estimating the effects of McConnell's bill, the Congressional Budget Office said that, if the ACA were left intact, its exchanges would remain "stable in most areas."
The forecast noted that "a small number of people" live in parts of the country in which few insurers have been interested in selling individual policies. Some of the companies now may withdraw, in part because of the changes that Republicans have been considering. Those include eliminating the ACA's requirement that most Americans carry health insurance and abolishing $7 billion in cost-sharing subsidies that have helped lower-income consumers afford their health plans' deductibles and copays.
Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Thursday called McConnell's statement "encouraging" and said his caucus is "eager to work with Republicans to stabilize the markets and improve the law. At the top of the list should be ensuring cost-sharing payments are permanent, which will protect health care for millions."
But there has been no outreach yet from GOP Senate leaders to their Democratic counterparts, and the two parties remain far apart in terms of which policy solutions each prefers when it comes to revamping the ACA. Still, more than half a dozen rank-and-file members from both parties huddled privately in May to discuss finding common ground.
Among those were some of the most outspoken GOP critics of McConnell's bill, such as Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.), Susan Collins (Maine) and Bill Cassidy (La.), as well as Democrats such as Joe Donnelly (Ind.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.) and Joe Manchin III (W.Va.).
Before the recess, Heitkamp said in an interview that she would be telling constituents that she remained open to bipartisan negotiations — if certain conditions are met.
"The real thing here is making sure people understand that there are choices," she said. "That we can fix what's wrong with the Affordable Care Act without taking away Medicaid for disabled kids. That we can fix what's wrong with the Affordable Care Act without giving billions of dollars of tax breaks to the wealthiest among us. That we have an opportunity to work together here if we can figure out how to collaborate. And that the way to do it is not in some backroom; the way to do it is in a markup in a hearing with regular order."

1 Introduction
Seeing through foreground occlusions is beneficial to many computer vision applications such as detection and tracking in surveillance[5, 13, 32, 33]. However, due to foreground occlusions, some rays cannot hit the sensors of traditional single-view cameras (, Digital Single Lens Reflex). Therefore, objects behind occlusions cannot be fully observed and reliably reconstructed. In recent years, camera arrays [26, 25, 18, 19, 8] have undergone a rapid development since they can record light fields (LFs) and provide a large number of viewpoints with rich angular information. The complementary information among different viewpoints is beneficial for the reconstruction of occluded surfaces since background objects occluded in some views can be seen by other views.
As illustrated in Fig. 1, light field de-occlusion (LF-DeOcc) aims at removing foreground occlusions using sub-aperture images (SAIs) captured by a camera array111In the area of LF-DeOcc, images captured by camera arrays are widely used due to their wide baselines. Therefore, we follow the existing work [18, 12, 34, 30, 11] and use camera arrays for LF-DeOcc.. The pioneering work on LF-DeOcc is proposed by Vaish [18] using a refocusing method. However, this method cannot recover a clean surface of occluded objects since rays from occlusions and background are mixed. In fact, it is important but challenging to correctly select pixels only belonging to occluded objects. To this end, existing methods [12, 34, 30, 11]
generally built different models to handle LF-DeOcc problem. Due to the highly complex structures of scenes in real world, these methods with handcrafted feature extraction and stereo matching techniques cannot achieve satisfactory performance. In recent years, deep learning has been successfully used in different LF tasks such as depth estimation[15, 14]
, image super-resolution[38, 23, 35], view synthesis [28, 22, 27], and LF intrinsics [2, 1]. These networks have achieved state-of-the-art performance in numerous areas. However, to the best of our knowledge, deep learning has not been used for LF-DeOcc due to several issues. In this paper, we design a novel and effective paradigm, and propose the first deep learning network (, DeOccNet) to handle LF-DeOcc problem. Specifically, we summarize three major challenges in deep learning-based LF-DeOcc, and provide solutions to these challenges using our proposed paradigm.
The first challenge is that, as compared to LF depth estimation networks [15, 14] and LF super-resolution networks [38, 23, 35], LF-DeOcc networks should use as much information from occluded surfaces as possible, while maintaining a larger receptive field to cover occlusions of different types and scales. We address this challenge by employing an encoder-decoder network to encode LF structures. We concatenate all SAIs along the channel dimension to fully use the information of occluded surfaces. Besides, we use a residual atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) module to extract multi-scale features and enlarge receptive fields.
The second challenge is that, as compared to single image inpainting networks[10, 31, 37, 9], LF-DeOcc networks have to learn the scene structure to automatically recognize, label and remove foreground occlusions. We address this challenge by setting the occlusion-free center-view SAI as groundtruth, and train our DeOccNet in an end-to-end manner. In this way, our network can recognize occlusions from background through disparity discrepancy, and automatically remove foreground occlusions.
The third challenge is that, LF-DeOcc networks face an insufficiency of training data since large-scale LF datasets with removable foreground occlusions are unavailable. Moreover, test scenes are also insufficient for performance evaluation. We address this challenge by proposing a data synthesis approach to embed different occlusion masks into existing LF images. Using this approach, more than 1000 LFs are generated to train our network. Moreover, we develop several synthetic and real-world LFs for performance evaluation.
Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of our paradigm. Our DeOccNet achieves superior performance on both synthetic and real-world scenes as compared to other state-of-the-art methods.

2.1 Single image inpainting
Single image inpainting methods aim at filling holes in an image using both neighborhood information and global priors. The major challenge of single image inpainting lies in synthesizing visually realistic and semantically plausible pixels for missing regions. Recent deep learning based methods [10, 31, 37, 9] have achieved promising results for inpainting large missing regions in an image. Specifically, Yu [37] proposed a deep generative model-based inpainting method to synthesize novel image structures and textures. Liu [9] used partial convolutions for inpainting with irregular holes and achieved the state-of-the-art performance.
Compared to single image inpainting, LF-DeOcc can use complementary information provided by SAIs to generate improved results. The difference between single image inpainting and LF-DeOcc is significant. In single image inpainting, holes or masks are always pre-defined. However, LF-DeOcc requires automatical extraction of foreground occlusions by analyzing scene structures. That is, occlusions are closer to cameras than background objects, and thus have larger disparities. Due to the complex structures of real-world scenes, it is highly challenging for algorithms to correctly select rays originating from occluded objects.
2.2 Light field de-occlusion
LF-DeOcc is an active research topic and has been investigated for decades [18, 17, 12, 34, 30, 11]. Vaish [18] proposed a refocusing method by warping each SAI by a specific value, and then averaging the warped SAIs along angular dimension. Due to the large equivalent aperture of camera arrays, when background is refocused on, occlusions are extremely blurred and the see through effect can be achieved. However, the resulting images are always blurred due to the indiscriminate use of rays from both occlusions and background. Vaish further proposed an improved version using both median cost and entropy cost [17]. Since these methods [18, 17] do not exactly exploit scene structures, their performance is limited for scenes with heavy occlusions.
To solve this problem, Pei proposed a pixel-labeling method [12] to remove occlusions. Specifically, pixels corresponding to occlusions are labeled by stereo matching and masked out during refocusing process, resulting in a clean image. However, this method can only generate images refocused on a specific depth, leaving objects in other depth ranges suffering from various degrees of blurs. Subsequently, they used an image-matting approach to perform all-in-focus synthetic aperture imaging [11]. Besides, Yang used visible layers [34] to address the all-in-focus imaging issue. Xiao [30]
used k-means clustering to classify pixels of occlusions and background. All these methods[12, 34, 30, 11] use handcrafted feature extraction and stereo matching techniques, and cannot achieve a satisfactory performance in scenes with complex structures and heavy occlusions.
2.3 Deep learning in light field
Deep neural networks have been widely used in various LF tasks such as image super-resolution[36, 23, 35, 38], view synthesis [28, 22, 27], and depth estimation [15, 14]. Compared to these tasks, networks for LF-DeOcc should have a larger receptive field and use more information of occluded surfaces. Currently, no existing work on deep learning based LF-DeOcc is available in literature. It is worth noting that works in [2, 1] are similar to ours. Specifically, a fully convolutional auto-encoder is proposed in [2] to separate diffuse and specular components of an LF. Both [2] and our work require high-level features and global priors of scene structures. Consequently, we built our network upon encoder-decoder architecture to encode LF structures. Note that, there are two significant differences between [2] and our network. First, only horizontal and vertical SAIs (, 9 cross-views in a 55 LF) are used in [2]. In contrast, all SAIs are used in our network to fully exploit the information of occluded objects. Second, our DeOccNet uses residual ASPP module to enlarge the receptive field, and uses multiple skip layers to have a holistic understanding of the scene while preserving fine details.
3 The Proposed Method
3.1 Network architecture
The task of our DeOccNet is to replace pixels of occlusions with pixels from the background. To achieve this task, our network is required to find correspondence and incorporate complementary information from SAIs. Note that, foreground occlusions generally have shallow depths and large disparities. That is, pixels of occlusions always have very large position variations among SAIs. Therefore, multi-scale features with large receptive fields are required for our network. In this paper, we first use a residual ASPP module for hierarchical feature extraction, and then use an auto-encoder to incorporate both spatial and angular information. The architecture of our DeOccNet is shown in Fig. 2. Different from existing LF networks [2, 15, 38] where only part of SAIs are stacked as inputs, we stacked all SAIs along the channel dimension (, channels for RGB SAIs) to use as much information as possible since LF-DeOcc highly depends on the information of occluded objects. Consequently, our DeOccNet takes the stacked SAIs as its input, and finally generates an occlusion-free center-view SAI.
Residual ASPP module. In our network, the input volume is first processed by a convolution layer to generate features with a fixed depth (, in this paper). Then, a residual ASPP module is used to generate hierarchical features. As shown in Fig. 2(b), similar to the module used in [20], we first combine six dilated convolution layers (with dilation rates of , , , , , and ) to form an ASPP group, then cascade three ASPP groups in residual manner to achieve high learning efficiency. The residual ASPP module can enlarge the receptive field and extract multi-scale information around occlusions. It is demonstrated in the ablation study (see Table 1) that our residual ASPP module is beneficial to the overall LF-DeOcc performance.
Encoder pathway. Features generated by the residual ASPP module are then transferred to the encoder pathway, where encoder blocks are cascaded to incorporate both spatial and angular information. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3
, each encoder block contains three cascaded units. In each unit, the batch-normalized features are given to two separated paths to achieve local residual learning. The first path includes a
convolution and a Leaky ReLU (with a leaky factor of), while the second path either keeps the input unchanged or passes it through a strided convolution or de-convolution. Therefore, features produced by the two paths have the same resolution. Features from both paths are added to produce the output of this unit. For each encoder block, the first two units keep depth and resolution unchanged, while the third unit applies a strided convolution (with a stride of ) to halve the resolution and double the feature depth. Consequently, the final feature generated by the encoder (bottleneck of our DeOccNet) is time of the input feature in resolution and has channels in depths.
Decoder pathway. After passing through the bottleneck, features are decoded through the decoder pathway. Note that, decoder blocks have mirrored structures as encoder blocks. That is, the decoder block is also chained by three residual units, and the first unit uses a de-convolution to exactly revert the encoder block on the corresponding level. Moreover, to preserve fine details in the final output image, features of different resolutions on the encoder pathway are concatenated with their counterparts on the decoder pathway by skip connections. Consequently, the decoder can be guided to gradually add details onto restored images. Since feature depth is doubled by concatenation, an additional convolution layer is employed before the last three decoder blocks to halve the feature depth. Similarly, a convolution layer is also applied to the output feature to reduce its channel to .
3.2 Mask embedding for training data synthesis
It is important to provide sufficient data to train our DeOccNet. Although LFs with removable occlusions can be acquired by capturing real-world scenes with/without foreground occlusions, or by rendering synthetic scenes using softwares such as 3dsMax222https://www.autodesk.eu/products/3ds-max/overview and Blender333https://www.blender.org/, these approaches are significantly labour-intensive and even infeasible. Consequently, it is important to design an efficient approach to generate a large amount of data for network training. In this paper, we propose Mask Embedding, a training data synthesis approach to synthesize LFs with removable foreground occlusions. An illustration of our Mask Embedding approach is shown in Fig. 4.
As shown in Fig. 4(a), we manually collected mask images from Internet using tags such as salix leaves, grids, fences, and paper cuts. All these masks are common foreground occlusions in daily life. Meanwhile, we collected LFs from the Stanford LF dataset [16], the Old HCI 4D LF dataset [24], the New HCI 4D LF benchmark [4], and the MIT Synthetic LF Archive [7]. Note that, to improve the generalization capability of our network, the RGB channels of both LFs and mask images are randomly shuffled, and the masks are randomly selected to be embedded into shuffled LFs.
The pipeline of our Mask Embedding approach is illustrated in Fig. 4
(b). We randomly pick a mask from the mask set and then embed it into each SAI according to LF configurations. Specifically, a disparity with a shallow depth is randomly set and allocated to the selected mask. Then, the mask is warped according to the angular coordinate of the target view and the allocated disparity. Note that, bilinear interpolation is used when masks do not fall into integer coordinates. Next, warped masks are added to each SAI, resulting in LFs with foreground occlusions. Finally, refocusing is performed on each generated LF to check the LF configuration.
Although the Mask Embedding approach can easily generate a large number of LFs for training, the generated LFs only have occlusions in a single depth, which is significantly different from real-word scenarios. To address this issue, we use generated LFs as original LFs and repeat this process twice to synthesize LFs with occlusions at two and three depth layers. Using the proposed approach, we totally synthesize LFs to train our models. Although LFs synthesized by our approach only have fence-like and front-parallel occlusions, experimental results show that, our network trained on the synthetic data can generalize well to real-world cases (, CD scene in Fig. 6). That is, our network can successfully learn the scene structure through disparity discrepancy using LFs synthesized by our Mask Embedding approach.
3.3 Training details
We trained two models with and input SAIs. The model was used for the Stanford CD scene [16], and the model was used for our self-developed scenes. During the training phase, we used LFs synthesized by the Mask Embedding approach as the training data. All the LFs were used for the model. In contrast, due to the angular resolution limitation of existing LF datasets, only LFs from the Stanford LF dataset [16] were used to generate training data for the model.
It is worth noting that foreground and background in a scene are relative concepts. That is, some occlusions can also be considered as background objects in multi-occlusion situations as shown in Fig. 5. Consequently, both training and test scenes should be rectified to specific depths for LF-DeOcc. In this paper, we perform rectification by cropping each SAI accordingly to make occlusions have positive disparity values while backgrounds have negative disparity values. In this way, our DeOccNet can effectively achieve LF-DeOcc by simply removing objects with positive disparity values. Finally, we cropped occluded SAIs into pixel patches by a stride of , and performed upsampling for data augmentation. Meanwhile, occlusion-free center-view SAI was cropped and upsampled accordingly to generate groundtruths.
Our DeOccNet
was implemented in Pytorch on a PC with an Nvidia RTX 2080Ti GPU. All models were trained using an MSE loss and optimized using the Adam method[6] with , , and a batch size of . The initial learning rate was set to and reduced to after epochs. The training took about days and was stopped at epochs.

4 Experiments
In this section, we first introduce the test scenes used in our experiments, and then compare our method to several state-of-the-art methods. Finally, we present ablation study and analyses.
4.1 Test scenes
Real-world scenes. We followed [11, 17, 34] and tested our method on the publicly available CD scene [16]. The original CD scene consists of 105 views distributed on a grid. We selected the central views for performance evaluation. Groundtruth image is provided by a second capture with occlusions being removed. Besides, we captured several real-world scenes using a moving Leica Q camera (with an , mm lens) mounted on a gantry. It is argued in [29, 21] that the scanning scheme is equivalent to a single shot by a camera array in static occasions. We shifted the camera to positions on a grid with cm baselines. The captured images were calibrated using the method in [39].
Synthetic scenes. Since the number of real-world test scenes is very small, we rendered synthetic scenes with removable foreground occlusions for further evaluation. All elements in our synthetic scenes were collected from Internet, and parameters (, lighting, depth range) were tuned to better reflect real scenes. The angular resolution of each scene was set to , while baselines and occlusion ranges were varied in different scenes. Occlusion-free center-view SAIs were also rendered for quantitative evaluation.

4.2 Comparison to the state-of-the-arts
We compared our DeOccNet to the state-of-the-art LF-DeOcc method [11]. We also used traditional refocusing method [18] and its improved version [17] as baselines. Moreover, to investigate the benefits of complementary information introduced by additional perspectives, we compared our method to the state-of-the-art image inpainting method [9]. Note that, the inpainting method [9] cannot automatically recognize occlusions in an image. Therefore, we manually labeled occlusions in each center-view image. Since the codes of [11, 18, 17] are unavailable, we used our own implementations with their default parameter settings. Following the state-of-the-art image inpainting methods [37, 9], mean
error, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structure similarity (SSIM) are used as quantitative evaluation metrics in this paper. Readers are referred to[37, 9] for more details about these metrics. Qualitative results on real-world and synthetic datasets are shown in Figs. 6, 7, and 8, and quantitative results are listed in Table 1.
It can be seen from Fig. 6(a) that occlusions in the CD scene occupy a large portion. Consequently, even though views are provided, it is still highly challenging to reconstruct occluded objects. Method [18] removes occlusions by warping and averaging SAIs. As shown in Fig. 6(b), although occlusions are extremely blurred at the focused depth, occluded object is also unclear and its contrast is low. Besides, since results produced by [18] only focus on limited depth ranges, objects in other depth ranges are highly blurred and cannot be recognized. In contrast, Vaish [17] use median cost to achieve all-in-focus synthetic aperture imaging. However, the performance achieved by [17] is very limited.
Pei [11] achieve a better performance than method [17]. That is because, only rays belonging to occluded objects are used in [11]. However, due to various textures and shapes of occlusions and background, it is difficult to exactly select rays only from background, and the resulting images can be deteriorated by incorrect classification of occlusion and background. More specifically, if pixels from occlusions are misused, the resulting images will be blurred (, Fig. 6(d)). In contrast, if background are incorrectly considered as occlusions, the resulting images will have blank areas (, Figs. 7(d) and 7(i)) since all information in these areas is removed.
The single image inpainting method [9] tries to hallucinate missing part and render reasonable results using knowledge learned from a large number of daily scenes (, the ImageNet database [3]). It can generate promising results on scenes with simple structure and small occlusions (, Fig. 8(g)). However, since no additional information is used in the inpainting process, this method cannot handle scenes with rich textures/details or heavy occlusions (, Figs. 7(c)and 8(l)).
As compared to existing methods, our method achieves superior performance, especially on scenes with heavy occlusions (, scenes CD and Syn04). That is, DeOccNet successfully learns to discriminate occlusions from backgrounds, and incorporates information of occluded objects from different viewpoints. It can be also seen from Table 1 that our method achieves the best quantitative results on scenes CD, Syn01 and Syn02. Note that, our method is slightly inferior to [9] on scene Syn03. That is because, method [9] uses manually labeled groundtruth occlusions while our method do not rely on any groundtruth information. Since scene Syn03 has relatively small occlusions and simple textures, method [9] works well using learned spatial priors and labeled groundtruth occlusions.

4.3 Ablation study
We conducted ablation study to investigate the improvement introduced by the residual ASPP module and skip connections. Quantitative results are presented in Table 1.
First, we removed the residual ASPP module and retrained DeOccNet from scratch using the same training data. We can observe from Table 1 that the residual ASPP module significantly contributes to the overall LF-DeOcc performance. Specifically, it introduces more than dB improvement in average PSNR, and nearly improvement in average SSIM. That is because, the residual ASPP module can help the network to have a large receptive field to cover foreground occlusions of various shapes and scales.
Then, we investigated the benefits introduced by skip connections. Note that, during the training process, we discovered that the network cannot achieve a reasonable convergence without any skip connection. Therefore, we only removed the outermost skip connection in the ablation study, and infer the contribution of skip layers from experimental results. As shown in Table 1, the outermost skip layer introduces dB improvement in average PSNR and improvement in average SSIM. That is because, the high-frequency details are tend to be lost by strided convolutions, and it is difficult to recover these details from low-resolution features. Therefore, skip connections are necessary to provide a short path for low-level and high-frequency information.
4.4 Further discussion
It is worth noting that LFs generated by our Mask Embedding approach were used as the only training data of our DeOccNet, and there is no intersection between the training and test scenes. In fact, the styles of occlusion and background between the training and test scenes differ significantly. That is, all occlusions in our training data are fence-like and front-parallel masks. Although we ran the Mask Embedding approach three times to simulate occlusions at multiple depths, we cannot generate occlusions within a continuous range of depths as in the CD and Bike scenes. However, as shown in Figs. 6(g) and 7(e), our network can generalize well to these cases to handle slant occlusions. That is because, both training and test scenes share the same LF structures. Specifically, occlusions have positive disparity values while backgrounds have negative disparity values.
To investigate the intrinsic mechanism of our network in dealing with foreground occlusions, we stacked identical center-view SAIs of the CD scene, and fed them into our DeOccNet. It can be seen from Fig. 6(f) that our DeOccNet network cannot work with replicated inputs with identical information. That is, the mechanism of our DeOccNet is significantly different from that of the single image inpainting network [9]. Specifically, rather than using spatial information within one perspective in [9], our network uses complementary information from different viewpoints. It introduces significant performance improvements in scenes with heavy but pierced occlusions (, basket in scene Bike01) because useful information can be introduced by different perspectives. However, only focusing on complementary information from different views makes our network perform unsatisfactorily on scenes with solid block regions (, the right bottom corner in scene Bike02) since background is occluded in all perspectives and spatial information is need for LF-DeOcc. In the future, we will incorporate perspective information with neighborhood prior for LF-DeOcc, which is likely to introduce further performance improvement.
5 Conclusion
In this paper, we propose DeOccNet, the first deep learning based method for LF-DeOcc. We embed masks into existing LFs to generate a large training dataset. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world scenes show that, our DeOccNet can automatically remove foreground occlusions through disparity discrepancy, and achieve superior performance as compared to existing methods.

That's my Q #74 - The Awakening
Howdy! I'm joining mid mission here. I play the new civilian – a chaplain who is currently confused that there is no command crew. Feel free to come see him when your conscience dictates.
Alex yim: alxnjsh
Gavin sat quietly on the shore. It was a chilly July day and the breeze swept across the cold Pacific and danced across Alaska's land. He raised his orange turtleneck sweater to cover his Adam's apple. His cheeks were wind burnt to a soft pink and his lips lost what little moisture they had.
It was three weeks ago when he was sitting in the café owned by his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Patrice when a Federation official sat next to him.
It was a warm spring day and he was enjoying a cup of tea. The patio outside was empty and Gavin quietly turned a page of the ancient text in his hands. The words were scribed in both Latin and Greek and recounted the mystery of Saint Scholastica, the patron saint of rain.
"Gavin?" His aunt's voice echoed from inside.
Gavin carefully lowered the text, "Out here Aunt Pat." He called back.
A few moments later an unknown woman dressed in the bright red of a Starfleet uniform stepped through the sliding doors onto the patio.
"Are you –" Pausing, as if frightened not to use the correct title the woman waited for Gavin to insert the correct honorific.
Gavin closed the text, setting it on the table. "Gavin?" He questioned.
"Yes, Gavin Quinn."
The ˝ Bandi ˝ human nodded slightly, "How can I help you…" He looked at the woman's collar, "Lieutenant…"
"Lieutenant Halverson." She finished his probe.
"Ah, Lieutenant Halverson, how can I help you?" Gavin said offering her a chair.
"I'll get right to the point," Halverson began.
Gavin breathed in the aromatic tea and thought to himself, "I didn't expect anything less."
"I've been asked to offer you a position within Star-, within the Federation on a Starbase." She said sitting fully erect in her chair.
"I see," Gavin said, "And where is the position."
"It's on Starbase 47." Halverson said.
"And they need me?" Gavin questioned.
Halverson nodded once, "A starbase functions very much like a small planet. There are diverse cultures who have spiritual needs to attend to."
"A civilian?"
"In Starfleet commission and rank matters most in command situations. It gives crew a figure to focus upon as the leader who has final say. In fields such as science, medical and to a lesser degree engineering rank is secondary to a position, whereas within security, marine, tactical and command, rank has more emphasis. When you're bleeding from a wound you want a doctor regardless of rank, but when you are in battle you want a Captain who's had experience." The Lieutenant stated with a smile, the first since she arrived. Her back continued to be rigid.
"Yes, I see where that would be true." Gavin intoned.
"Your position will work closely with the Medical Department and the counselors to attend to the needs of the crew and civilians in which you come in contact." Lieutenant Halverson continued, "Not to mention offering any information you have on the customs of other cultures regarding spirituality and religious practices."
Gavin nodded, "Sounds intriguing." He leaned further back in his chair and put his feet up on a chair in front of him.
"I have to check with my superior." Gavin said calmly as he thumbed the handle of his mug of tea with his right hand. A flicker of light danced across a lone piece of jewelry that hung loosely on his middle finger…a silver ring with a simple cross and the Latin phrase "Always Faithful" etched on it.
Lieutenant Halverson piped, "The Archdiocese has already given its blessing."
"Not that superior." Gavin's right lip curled into a smile as his eyes cast upward.
The woman looked up, at first not comprehending. It then dawned on her. "Oh…oh!" She nodded, "Of course." She set down the PADD she carried in her hand and got up from the table. "When you…" She wasn't sure what to say, "When you have your answer, we'll be waiting."
A millisecond after Lieutenant Halverson walked through the door his aunt scrambled out with a fresh cup of tea. "Who was that and what did she want?"
"She came to offer me a position." Gavin said matter-of-factly.
A week later Gavin found himself on a transport heading towards Starbase 47.
It was a quiet and mostly contemplative trip to 47. There weren't many heading out, but he managed to find his way jumping from ship to ship. Standing in the space bound city, Gavin assumed that there would be more bustle. In fact, he thought there would be A LOT more bustle.
The chaplain shrugged and made his way through to his goal – the chapel.
Entering a set of doors he was in an entry way, a sort of threshold before entering the sanctuary. Walking over to a screen he read that currently running was a general chapel. He walked to the doors and they opened.
Gavin smiled. "Computer, Our Lady Queen of Peace chapel, Anchorage Alaska."
The room morphed into a simple chapel. The chaplain made a sign of the cross and walked to the side, a wall of votive candles in red glass holders. He lit a candle and said the Memorare.
"Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to they protection, implored they help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen."
Satisfied with his inner calm, the chaplain turned from the sanctuary… he was determined to find someone and present his credentials.
