As different staining patterns of HEp-2 cells indicate different diseases, the classification of Indirect Immune Fluorescence (IIF) images on Human Epithelial-2 (HEp-2) cell is important for clinical applications. Different from traditional pattern recognition techniques, we use CNN to extract more high-level features for cell images classification. Compared to the existing CNN based HEp-2 classification...
Reliable automatic system for Human Epithelial-2 (HEp-2) cell image classification can facilitate the diagnosis of systemic autoimmune diseases. In this paper, an automatic pattern recognition system using fully convolutional network (FCN) was proposed to address the HEp-2 specimen classification problem. The FCN in the proposed framework was adapted from VGG-16, which was trained with ICPR 2016 dataset...
Face alignment is an important issue in many computer vision problems. The key problem is to find the nonlinear mapping from face image or feature to landmark locations. In this paper, we propose a novel cascaded approach with bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks to approximate this nonlinear mapping. The cascaded structure is used to reduce the complexity of this problem and...
Pedestrian detection from in-vehicle camera images for the purpose of advanced driver assistance systems is of particular importance in cases of low-resolution pedestrians, because it is desirable to detect the pedestrian as far from the vehicle as possible to effectively provide safe driving support for the driver. Most previous studies on pedestrian detection, however, have focused on pedestrians...
We propose a machine learning based approach to real-time detection and classification assistance for images from unknown environments. While systems for detecting and classifying regular structures like faces in still images are well established, the task of e. g. detecting new morphotypes/objects in an environment is much more complex. The morphotypes/objects are not guaranteed to have apriori known...
This paper addresses the problem of efficient pedestrian detection using features that are extracted by convolving feature channels with a very small number of filters. The method uses as feature channels low level features such as LUV colour and HOG, and trains a boosted decision forest on top of the learned features. The feature selection is guided by a greedy search or by an exhaustive search on...
The pervasive availability of the Internet, coupled with the development of increasingly powerful technologies, has led digital images to be the primary source of visual information in nowadays society. However, their reliability as a true representation of reality cannot be taken for granted, due to the affordable powerful graphics editing softwares that can easily alter the original content, leaving...
Research on Offline Handwritten Signature Verification explored a large variety of handcrafted feature extractors, ranging from graphology, texture descriptors to interest points. In spite of advancements in the last decades, performance of such systems is still far from optimal when we test the systems against skilled forgeries - signature forgeries that target a particular individual. In previous...
We aim to study the modeling limitations of the commonly employed boosted decision trees classifier. Inspired by the success of large, data-hungry visual recognition models (e.g. deep convolutional neural networks), this paper focuses on the relationship between modeling capacity of the weak learners, dataset size, and dataset properties. A set of novel experiments on the Caltech Pedestrian Detection...
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,...
Hierarchical decomposition enables increased number of classes in a classification problem. Class similarities guide the creation of a family of course to fine classifiers which solve categorical problems more effectively than a single flat classifier. High accuracies require precise configurations for each of the family of classifiers. This paper proposes a method to adaptively select the configuration...
