This paper introduces a new lifelong learning solution where a single model is trained for a sequence of tasks. The main challenge that vision systems face in this context is catastrophic forgetting: as they tend to adapt to the most recently seen task, they lose performance on the tasks that were learned previously. Our method aims at preserving the knowledge of the previous tasks while learning...
We propose a function-based temporal pooling method that captures the latent structure of the video sequence data - e.g., how frame-level features evolve over time in a video. We show how the parameters of a function that has been fit to the video data can serve as a robust new video representation. As a specific example, we learn a pooling function via ranking machines. By learning to rank the frame-level...
In recent years, the accuracy of pedestrian detectors significantly improved. Currently, state-of-the-art pedestrian detectors achieve high accuracy results on challenging datasets. As opposed to refining a single detector, in this paper we propose a different approach to further increase the detection accuracy: combining multiple pedestrian detectors. The most straight-forward way to combine pedestrian...
Traditional bag-of-features approaches often vector-quantise the features into a visual codebook. This process inevitably causes loss of information. Recently codebook-free methods that avoid the vector-quantisation step have become more popular. Used in conjunction with nearest-neighbour approaches these methods have shown remarkable classification performance. In this paper we show how to exploit...
Local features or image patches have become a standard tool in computer vision, with numerous application domains. Roughly speaking, two different types of patch-based image representations can be distinguished: interest points, such as corners or blobs, whose position, scale and shape are computed by a feature detector algorithm, and dense sampling, where patches of fixed size and shape are placed...
