In this work we study the problem of weakly supervised human body detection under difficult poses (e.g., multiview and/or arbitrary poses) within the framework of multi-instance learning (MIL). We first point out the existence of the so-called “vanishing gradient” problem in MIL with a noisy-or rule as its bagging model. This is mainly due to the independence assumption of the noisy-or rule, which...
This paper presents a context-aware object proposal generation method for stereo images. Unlike existing methods which mostly rely on image-based or depth features to generate object candidates, we propose to incorporate additional geometric and high-level semantic context information into the proposal generation. Our method starts from an initial object proposal set, and encode objectness for each...
Accurate region proposals are of importance to facilitate object localization in the existing convolutional neural network (CNN)-based object detection methods. This paper presents a novel iterative localization refinement (ILR) method which, undertaken at a mid-layer of a CNN architecture, iteratively refines region proposals in order to match as much ground-truth as possible. The search for the...
Intrinsic natures of different appearance between sub-regions of objects and non-objects in optical flows lead to more visual consistency for object proposals. Hence, visual variations in different sub-regions in video sequences over time is a good indicator for likeliness of objects. We propose a method that dynamically measures the objectness of each proposal by exploiting temporal consistency within...
People head detection in crowded scenes is challenging due to the large variability in clothing and appearance, small scales of people, and strong partial occlusions. Traditional bottom-up proposal methods and existing region proposal network approaches suffer from either poor recall or low precision. In this paper, we propose to improve both the recall and precision of head detection of region proposal...
In computer vision, object detection is addressed as one of the most challenging problems as it is prone to localization and classification error. The current best-performing detectors are based on the technique of finding region proposals in order to localize objects. Despite having very good performance, these techniques are computationally expensive due to having large number of proposed regions...
An enhancement to one of the existing visual object detection approaches is proposed for generating candidate windows that improves detection accuracy at no additional computational cost. Hypothesis windows for object detection are obtained based on Fisher Vector representations over initially obtained superpixels. In order to obtain new window hypotheses, hierarchical merging of superpixel regions...
