With the success of deep learning in the last few years, the object detection community shifted from processing on exhaustive sliding windows to smaller set of object proposals using more powerful and deep visual representations. Object proposals increase the accuracy and speed up detection process by reducing the search space. In this paper we propose a novel idea of filtering irrelevant edges using...
Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) perform on par or better than humans for image classification. Hence efforts have now shifted to more challenging tasks such as object detection and classification in images, video or RGBD. Recently developed region CNNs (R-CNN) such as Fast R-CNN [7] address this detection task for images. Instead, this paper is concerned with video and also focuses on resource-limited...
This article presents our recent study of a lightweight Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) architecture for document image classification. Here, we concentrated on training of a committee of generalized, compact and powerful base DCNNs. A support vector machine (SVM) is used to combine the outputs of individual DCNNs. The main novelty of the present study is introduction of supervised layerwise...
Inferring the aesthetic quality of images is a challenging computer vision task due to its subjective and conceptual nature. Most image aesthetics evaluation approaches focused on designing handcrafted features, and only a few adopted learning of relevant and imperative characteristics in a data-driven manner. In this paper, we propose to attune Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image aesthetics...
Land cover classification is a task that requires methods capable of learning high-level features while dealing with high volume of data. Overcoming these challenges, Convolutional Networks (ConvNets) can learn specific and adaptable features depending on the data while, at the same time, learn classifiers. In this work, we propose a novel technique to automatically perform pixel-wise land cover classification...
Deep Learning (DL), especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), has become the state-of-the-art for a variety of pattern recognition issues. Technological developments have allowed the use of high-end General Purpose Graphic Processor Units (GPGPU) for accelerating numerical problem solving. They resort no only to lower computational time, but also allow considering much larger networks. Hence,...
Supervised learning of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can require very large amounts of labeled data. Labeling thousands or millions of training examples can be extremely time consuming and costly. One direction towards addressing this problem is to create features from unlabeled data. In this paper we propose a new method for training a CNN, with no need for labeled instances. This method for...
Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer and is on rise. There exists a research trend for computerized analysis of suspicious skin lesions for malignancy using images captured by digital cameras. Analysis of these images is usually challenging due to existence of disturbing factors such as illumination variations and light reflections from skin surface. One important stage in diagnosis...
This work shows how to improve hyperspectral image classification through using both a deep representation and contextual information. To implement this objective, this work proposes a new Conditional Random Field (CRF) model (named DBN-CRF) with potentials defined over deep features produced by the Deep Belief Networks (DBNs). The newly formulated DBN-CRF model takes advantage of strength of the...
In this paper, we propose a new approach for cross-scenario clothing retrieval and fine-grained clothing style recognition. The query clothing photos captured by cameras or other mobile devices are filled with noisy background while the product clothing images online for shopping are usually presented in a pure environment. We tackle this problem by two steps. Firstly, a hierarchical super-pixel merging...
PCANet is a simple network using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for image classification and obtained high accuracies on a variety of datasets. PCA projects explanatory variables on a subspace that the first component has the largest variance. On the other hand, Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression projects explanatory variables on a subspace that the first component has the largest covariance...
Recent works demonstrated the usefulness of temporal coherence to regularize supervised training or to learn invariant features with deep architectures. In particular, enforcing a smooth output change while presenting temporally-closed frames from video sequences, proved to be an effective strategy. In this paper we prove the efficacy of temporal coherence for semi-supervised incremental tuning. We...
We propose a novel framework which integrates human hand detection and pose estimation into one single pipeline. Unlike most of previous works which only focus on the pose estimation part subject to some strong assumptions or relying on a weak detector to detect human hands, we employ a deep learning architecture to complete both aforementioned tasks. By letting three different neural networks share...
