Concerning the influence of LLN, the Building class reaches an increase in precision of 1.5% combined with an insignificant decrease of recall. Simultaneously, the optimization leads to a decrease in precision for the Ground class, while increasing its recall. It can be concluded that the methodsuccessfullyrecoversmisclassifiedGroundpixelsoriginally labeledasBuilding. CRFfurther increases theaverageprecisionand recall by an additional3.9%and 3.3%, respectively. 5. Conclusions Thispaper introducesaconcept tocapturespatialcontextbetweenlabeledregionsfordiversedatasets annotated at different semantic granularity, referred to as Explicit Priors, which was successfully ap- plied toenhance theentire trainingandclassificationprocessof semantic segmentationdemonstrated on the Daimler Urban Segmentation 2014 dataset. The approach provides a generalized way to se- lect an appropriate subset of multiple training datasets and to efficiently combine their labels to fit a given application scenario. The segmentation quality of foreground classes is comparable to, and in terms of certain measures even surpasses, state-of-the-art methods. The results for the background classes proved to be competitive as well. Their relatively high precision, combined with lower recall correspond toaclassificationaccuracyofcertain labels slightly inferior tocurrently leadingmethods. Further improvements concerning background labeling were achieved by applying priors based on Local Label Neighborhood as well as inference using CRF. In order to exploit additional potentials, thenext stepwould be to integratecomplimentary modalities, suchasdepthandmotioncues.
