Often the filters learned by Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) from different image datasets appear similar. This similarity of filters is often exploited for the purposes of transfer learning. This is also being used as an initialization technique for different tasks in the same dataset or for the same task in similar datasets. Off-the-shelf CNN features have capitalized on this idea to promote...
This paper presents a novel method of salience and priority estimation for the human visual system during locomotion. This visual information contains dynamic content derived from a moving viewpoint. The priority map, ranking key areas on the image, is created from probabilities of gaze fixations, merged from bottom-up features and top-down control on the locomotion. Two deep convolutional neural...
Sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) is a challenging task due to the ambiguity inherent in sketches when compared with photos. In this paper, we propose a novel convolutional neural network based on Siamese network for SBIR. The main idea is to pull output feature vectors closer for input sketch-image pairs that are labeled as similar, and push them away if irrelevant. This is achieved by jointly...
The progress in imaging techniques have allowed the study of various aspect of cellular mechanisms. To isolate individual cells in live imaging data, we introduce an elegant image segmentation framework that effectively extracts cell boundaries, even in the presence of poor edge details. Our approach works in two stages. First, we estimate pixel interior/border/exterior class probabilities using random...
A vast amount of toxicological data can be obtained from feature analysis of cells treated in vitro. However, this requires microscopic image segmentation of cells. To this end, we propose a new strategy, namely Supervised Normalized Cut Segmentation (SNCS), to segment cells that partially overlap and have a large amount of curved edges. SNCS approach is a machine learning based method, where loosely...
Identification and tracking of red blood cells and leukocytes in micro-circulation is very important for drug validation and inflammation. Manual tracking is usually used for this purpose. However, due to its excessive time consumption and inaccuracy in the case of overlapped cells, there is a need for automated methods. In this paper, we propose a Kalman filter and active-disc-based method for automatic...
