This paper presents a robust segmentation method based on multi-scale classification to identify the lesion boundary in dermoscopic images. Our proposed method leverages a collection of classifiers which are trained at various resolutions to categorize each pixel as “lesion” or “surrounding skin”. In detection phase, trained classifiers are applied on new images. The classifier outputs are fused at...
We propose a method to extract user attributes from the pictures posted in social media feeds, specifically gender information. While traditional approaches rely on text analysis or exploit visual information only from the user profile picture or colors, we propose to look at the distribution of semantics in the pictures coming from the whole feed of a person to estimate gender. In order to compute...
This paper presents Gambit, a custom, mid-cost 6-DoF robot manipulator system that can play physical board games against human opponents in non-idealized environments. Historically, unconstrained robotic manipulation in board games has often proven to be more challenging than the underlying game reasoning, making it an ideal testbed for small-scale manipulation. The Gambit system includes a low-cost...
We consider the end-to-end system design and evaluation of an efficient and effective system for video copy detection that bridges the gap between computationally expensive methods and practical applications. We use a compact SIFT-based bag-of-words fingerprint (which we call a SIFTogram), requiring only 1000 bytes per second of video, and show that beyond the descriptor choice, many variables can...
