Abstract: Current state-of-the-art trackers only rely on a target appearance model in order to localize the object in each frame. Such approaches are however prone to fail in case of e.g. fast appearance changes or presence of distractor objects, where a target appearance model alone is insufficient for robust tracking. Having the knowledge about the presence and locations of other objects in the surrounding scene can be highly beneficial in such cases. This scene information can be propagated through the sequence and used to, for instance, explicitly avoid distractor objects and eliminate target candidate regions. In this work, we propose a novel tracking architecture which can utilize scene information for tracking. Our tracker represents such information as dense localized state vectors, which can encode, for example, if the local region is target, background, or distractor. These state vectors are propagated through the sequence and combined with the appearance model output to localize the target. Our network is learned to effectively utilize the scene information by directly maximizing tracking performance on video segments. The proposed approach sets a new state-of-the-art on 3 tracking benchmarks, achieving an AO score of 63.6% on the recent GOT-10k dataset.
摘要:当前状态的最先进的跟踪器仅依赖于目标外观模型以便定位所述对象中的每个帧。此类方法易于然而在例如壳体失败快速外观变化或牵开器对象,其中单独一个目标外观模型是不够的鲁棒跟踪的存在。有关于存在和周围场景中的其他对象的位置的知识在这种情况下,是非常有益的。这个场景的信息可以通过序列传播和使用,例如,明确地避免牵张对象和消除目标候选区域。在这项工作中,我们提出可以利用场景信息来跟踪新的跟踪架构。我们的跟踪器表示这样的信息作为密局域态载体,其可以编码,例如,如果局部区域是目标,背景,或牵开器。这些状态矢量是通过序列传播和与外观模型输出来定位目标相结合。我们的网络是学会有效地利用直接最大限度地提高视频片段跟踪性能的现场信息。所提出的方法设定了3个跟踪基准的新的国家的最先进,实现了对近期GOT-10K数据集的AO得分的63.6%。

2. Generalizing Spatial Transformers to Projective Geometry with Applications to 2D/3D Registration [PDF] 返回目录

Abstract: Differentiable rendering is a technique to connect 3D scenes with corresponding 2D images. Since it is differentiable, processes during image formation can be learned. Previous approaches to differentiable rendering focus on mesh-based representations of 3D scenes, which is inappropriate for medical applications where volumetric, voxelized models are used to represent anatomy. We propose a novel Projective Spatial Transformer module that generalizes spatial transformers to projective geometry, thus enabling differentiable volume rendering. We demonstrate the usefulness of this architecture on the example of 2D/3D registration between radiographs and CT scans. Specifically, we show that our transformer enables end-to-end learning of an image processing and projection model that approximates an image similarity function that is convex with respect to the pose parameters, and can thus be optimized effectively using conventional gradient descent. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that spatial transformers have been described for projective geometry. The source code will be made public upon publication of this manuscript and we hope that our developments will benefit related 3D research applications.

Abstract: Rain streaks in the air appear in various blurring degrees and resolutions due to different distances from their positions to the camera. Similar rain patterns are visible in a rain image as well as its multi-scale (or multi-resolution) versions, which makes it possible to exploit such complementary information for rain streak representation. In this work, we explore the multi-scale collaborative representation for rain streaks from the perspective of input image scales and hierarchical deep features in a unified framework, termed multi-scale progressive fusion network (MSPFN) for single image rain streak removal. For similar rain streaks at different positions, we employ recurrent calculation to capture the global texture, thus allowing to explore the complementary and redundant information at the spatial dimension to characterize target rain streaks. Besides, we construct multi-scale pyramid structure, and further introduce the attention mechanism to guide the fine fusion of this correlated information from different scales. This multi-scale progressive fusion strategy not only promotes the cooperative representation, but also boosts the end-to-end training. Our proposed method is extensively evaluated on several benchmark datasets and achieves state-of-the-art results. Moreover, we conduct experiments on joint deraining, detection, and segmentation tasks, and inspire a new research direction of vision task-driven image deraining.

4. Deep Local Shapes: Learning Local SDF Priors for Detailed 3D Reconstruction [PDF] 返回目录
  Rohan Chabra, Jan Eric Lenssen, Eddy Ilg, Tanner Schmidt, Julian Straub, Steven Lovegrove, Richard Newcombe
Abstract: Efficiently reconstructing complex and intricate surfaces at scale is a long-standing goal in machine perception. To address this problem we introduce Deep Local Shapes (DeepLS), a deep shape representation that enables encoding and reconstruction of high-quality 3D shapes without prohibitive memory requirements. DeepLS replaces the dense volumetric signed distance function (SDF) representation used in traditional surface reconstruction systems with a set of locally learned continuous SDFs defined by a neural network, inspired by recent work such as DeepSDF. Unlike DeepSDF, which represents an object-level SDF with a neural network and a single latent code, we store a grid of independent latent codes, each responsible for storing information about surfaces in a small local neighborhood. This decomposition of scenes into local shapes simplifies the prior distribution that the network must learn, and also enables efficient inference. We demonstrate the effectiveness and generalization power of DeepLS by showing object shape encoding and reconstructions of full scenes, where DeepLS delivers high compression, accuracy, and local shape completion.

5. Exploiting Event Cameras by Using a Network Grafting Algorithm [PDF] 返回目录
  Yuhuang Hu, Tobi Delbruck, Shih-Chii Liu
Abstract: Novel vision sensors such as event cameras provide information that is not available from conventional intensity cameras. An obstacle to using these sensors with current powerful deep neural networks is the lack of large labeled training datasets. This paper proposes a Network Grafting Algorithm (NGA), where a new front end network driven by unconventional visual inputs replaces the front end network of a pretrained deep network that processes intensity frames. The self-supervised training uses only synchronously-recorded intensity frames and novel sensor data to maximize feature similarity between the pretrained network and the grafted network. We show that the enhanced grafted network reaches comparable average precision (AP$_{50}$) scores to the pretrained network on an object detection task using an event camera dataset, with no increase in inference costs. The grafted front end has only 5--8% of the total parameters and can be trained in a few hours on a single GPU equivalent to 5% of the time that would be needed to train the entire object detector from labeled data. NGA allows these new vision sensors to capitalize on previously pretrained powerful deep models, saving on training cost.
摘要:新型视觉传感器,诸如事件摄像机提供不能从常规强度的相机的信息。使用这些传感器与目前的强大深层神经网络的一个障碍是缺乏大标记的训练数据集。本文提出了一种网络接枝算法(NGA),其中,一个新的前端通过网络非常规视觉输入从动替换一个预训练的深网络进程强度帧的前端网络。自监督训练用途仅同步记录的强度的帧的和新颖的传感器数据以最大化预训练网络和所述接枝网络之间的特征的相似性。我们表明,提高移植网络达到媲美平均精度(AP $ _ {50} $)得分上使用事件摄像机数据集对象检测任务预训练的网络,在推理成本没有增加。接枝前端具有仅5-8%的总的参数,并且可以在几小时内对单个GPU相当于将被需要从标记的训练数据的整个对象检测器5%的时间进行训练。 NGA允许这些新的视觉传感器,以利用先前预训练的强大的深度模式,节约了培训成本。

  Shengyu Zhao, Yilun Sheng, Yue Dong, Eric I-Chao Chang, Yan Xu
Abstract: Feature warping is a core technique in optical flow estimation; however, the ambiguity caused by occluded areas during warping is a major problem that remains unsolved. In this paper, we propose an asymmetric occlusion-aware feature matching module, which can learn a rough occlusion mask that filters useless (occluded) areas immediately after feature warping without any explicit supervision. The proposed module can be easily integrated into end-to-end network architectures and enjoys performance gains while introducing negligible computational cost. The learned occlusion mask can be further fed into a subsequent network cascade with dual feature pyramids with which we achieve state-of-the-art performance. At the time of submission, our method, called MaskFlownet, surpasses all published optical flow methods on the MPI Sintel, KITTI 2012 and 2015 benchmarks. Code is available at this https URL.

  Nannan Li, Zhenzhong Chen
Abstract: Adversarial learning has shown its advances in generating natural and diverse descriptions in image captioning. However, the learned reward of existing adversarial methods is vague and ill-defined due to the reward ambiguity problem. In this paper, we propose a refined Adversarial Inverse Reinforcement Learning (rAIRL) method to handle the reward ambiguity problem by disentangling reward for each word in a sentence, as well as achieve stable adversarial training by refining the loss function to shift the generator towards Nash equilibrium. In addition, we introduce a conditional term in the loss function to mitigate mode collapse and to increase the diversity of the generated descriptions. Our experiments on MS COCO and Flickr30K show that our method can learn compact reward for image captioning.

Abstract: Consecutive frames in a video are highly redundant. Therefore, to perform the task of video object detection, executing single frame detectors on every frame without reusing any information is quite wasteful. It is with this idea in mind that we propose RN-VID, a novel approach to video object detection. Our contributions are twofold. First, we propose a new architecture that allows the usage of information from nearby frames to enhance feature maps. Second, we propose a novel module to merge feature maps of same dimensions using re-ordering of channels and 1 x 1 convolutions. We then demonstrate that RN-VID achieves better mAP than corresponding single frame detectors with little additional cost during inference.

9. Do We Need Depth in State-Of-The-Art Face Authentication? [PDF] 返回目录
  Amir Livne, Alex Bronstein, Ron Kimmel, Ziv Aviv, Shahaf Grofit
Abstract: Some face recognition methods are designed to utilize geometric features extracted from depth sensors to handle the challenges of single-image based recognition technologies. However, calculating the geometrical data is an expensive and challenging process. Here, we introduce a novel method that learns distinctive geometric features from stereo camera systems without the need to explicitly compute the facial surface or depth map. The raw face stereo images along with coordinate maps allow a CNN to learn geometric features. This way, we keep the simplicity and cost efficiency of recognition from a single image, while enjoying the benefits of geometric data without explicitly reconstructing it. We demonstrate that the suggested method outperforms both existing single-image and explicit depth based methods on large-scale benchmarks. We also provide an ablation study to show that the suggested method uses the coordinate maps to encode more informative features.

  Min Wang, Feng Qiu, Wentao Liu, Chen Qian, Xiaowei Zhou, Lizhuang Ma
Abstract: Human pose and shape recovery is an important task in computer vision and real-world understanding. Current works are tackled due to the lack of 3D annotations for whole body shapes. We find that part segmentation is a very efficient 2D annotation in 3D human body recovery. It not only indicates the location of each part but also contains 3D information through occlusions from the shape of parts, as indicated in Figure 1. To better utilize 3D information contained in part segmentation, we propose a part-level differentiable renderer which model occlusion between parts explicitly. It enhances the performance in both learning-based and optimization-based methods. To further improve the efficiency of the task, we propose a light-weight body model called EllipBody, which uses ellipsoids to indicate each body part. Together with SMPL, the relationship between forward time, performance and number of faces in body models are analyzed. A small number of faces is chosen for achieving good performance and efficiency at the same time. Extensive experiments show that our methods achieve the state-of-the-art results on Human3.6M and LSP dataset for 3D pose estimation and part segmentation.

11. Dynamic Reconstruction of Deformable Soft-tissue with Stereo Scope in Minimal Invasive Surgery [PDF] 返回目录
  Jingwei Song, Jun Wang, Liang Zhao, Shoudong Huang, Gamini Dissanayake
Abstract: In minimal invasive surgery, it is important to rebuild and visualize the latest deformed shape of soft-tissue surfaces to mitigate tissue damages. This paper proposes an innovative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm for deformable dense reconstruction of surfaces using a sequence of images from a stereoscope. We introduce a warping field based on the Embedded Deformation (ED) nodes with 3D shapes recovered from consecutive pairs of stereo images. The warping field is estimated by deforming the last updated model to the current live model. Our SLAM system can: (1) Incrementally build a live model by progressively fusing new observations with vivid accurate texture. (2) Estimate the deformed shape of unobserved region with the principle As-Rigid-As-Possible. (3) Show the consecutive shape of models. (4) Estimate the current relative pose between the soft-tissue and the scope. In-vivo experiments with publicly available datasets demonstrate that the 3D models can be incrementally built for different soft-tissues with different deformations from sequences of stereo images obtained by laparoscopes. Results show the potential clinical application of our SLAM system for providing surgeon useful shape and texture information in minimal invasive surgery.

12. Bone Structures Extraction and Enhancement in Chest Radiographs via CNN Trained on Synthetic Data [PDF] 返回目录
  Ophir Gozes, Hayit Greenspan
Abstract: In this paper, we present a deep learning-based image processing technique for extraction of bone structures in chest radiographs using a U-Net FCNN. The U-Net was trained to accomplish the task in a fully supervised setting. To create the training image pairs, we employed simulated X-Ray or Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRR), derived from 664 CT scans belonging to the LIDC-IDRI dataset. Using HU based segmentation of bone structures in the CT domain, a synthetic 2D "Bone x-ray" DRR is produced and used for training the network. For the reconstruction loss, we utilize two loss functions- L1 Loss and perceptual loss. Once the bone structures are extracted, the original image can be enhanced by fusing the original input x-ray and the synthesized "Bone X-ray". We show that our enhancement technique is applicable to real x-ray data, and display our results on the NIH Chest X-Ray-14 dataset.

  Shervin Minaee, Mehdi Minaei, Amirali Abdolrashidi
Abstract: Generating realistic palmprint (more generally biometric) images has always been an interesting and, at the same time, challenging problem. Classical statistical models fail to generate realistic-looking palmprint images, as they are not powerful enough to capture the complicated texture representation of palmprint images. In this work, we present a deep learning framework based on generative adversarial networks (GAN), which is able to generate realistic palmprint images. To help the model learn more realistic images, we proposed to add a suitable regularization to the loss function, which imposes the line connectivity of generated palmprint images. This is very desirable for palmprints, as the principal lines in palm are usually connected. We apply this framework to a popular palmprint databases, and generate images which look very realistic, and similar to the samples in this database. Through experimental results, we show that the generated palmprint images look very realistic, have a good diversity, and are able to capture different parts of the prior distribution. We also report the Frechet Inception distance (FID) of the proposed model, and show that our model is able to achieve really good quantitative performance in terms of FID score.

  Yizhak Ben-Shabat, Stephen Gould
Abstract: We propose a surface fitting method for unstructured 3D point clouds. This method, called DeepFit, incorporates a neural network to learn point-wise weights for weighted least squares polynomial surface fitting. The learned weights act as a soft selection for the neighborhood of surface points thus avoiding the scale selection required of previous methods. To train the network we propose a novel surface consistency loss that improves point weight estimation. The method enables extracting normal vectors and other geometrical properties, such as principal curvatures, the latter were not presented as ground truth during training. We achieve state-of-the-art results on a benchmark normal and curvature estimation dataset, demonstrate robustness to noise, outliers and density variations, and show its application on noise removal.

15. Toward Accurate and Realistic Virtual Try-on Through Shape Matching and Multiple Warps [PDF] 返回目录
  Kedan Li, Min Jin Chong, Jingen Liu, David Forsyth
Abstract: A virtual try-on method takes a product image and an image of a model and produces an image of the model wearing the product. Most methods essentially compute warps from the product image to the model image and combine using image generation methods. However, obtaining a realistic image is challenging because the kinematics of garments is complex and because outline, texture, and shading cues in the image reveal errors to human viewers. The garment must have appropriate drapes; texture must be warped to be consistent with the shape of a draped garment; small details (buttons, collars, lapels, pockets, etc.) must be placed appropriately on the garment, and so on. Evaluation is particularly difficult and is usually qualitative. This paper uses quantitative evaluation on a challenging, novel dataset to demonstrate that (a) for any warping method, one can choose target models automatically to improve results, and (b) learning multiple coordinated specialized warpers offers further improvements on results. Target models are chosen by a learned embedding procedure that predicts a representation of the products the model is wearing. This prediction is used to match products to models. Specialized warpers are trained by a method that encourages a second warper to perform well in locations where the first works poorly. The warps are then combined using a U-Net. Qualitative evaluation confirms that these improvements are wholesale over outline, texture shading, and garment details.

  Viktor Varkarakis, Peter Corcoran
Abstract: In recent years, large "in the wild" face datasets have been released in an attempt to facilitate progress in tasks such as face detection, face recognition, and other tasks. Most of these datasets are acquired from webpages with automatic procedures. As a consequence, noisy data are often found. Furthermore, in these large face datasets, the annotation of identities is important as they are used for training face recognition algorithms. But due to the automatic way of gathering these datasets and due to their large size, many identities folder contain mislabeled samples which deteriorates the quality of the datasets. In this work, it is presented a semi-automatic method for cleaning the noisy large face datasets with the use of face recognition. This methodology is applied to clean the CelebA dataset and show its effectiveness. Furthermore, the list with the mislabelled samples in the CelebA dataset is made available.

17. Rethinking Class-Balanced Methods for Long-Tailed Visual Recognition from a Domain Adaptation Perspective [PDF] 返回目录
  Muhammad Abdullah Jamal, Matthew Brown, Ming-Hsuan Yang, Liqiang Wang, Boqing Gong
Abstract: Object frequency in the real world often follows a power law, leading to a mismatch between datasets with long-tailed class distributions seen by a machine learning model and our expectation of the model to perform well on all classes. We analyze this mismatch from a domain adaptation point of view. First of all, we connect existing class-balanced methods for long-tailed classification to target shift, a well-studied scenario in domain adaptation. The connection reveals that these methods implicitly assume that the training data and test data share the same class-conditioned distribution, which does not hold in general and especially for the tail classes. While a head class could contain abundant and diverse training examples that well represent the expected data at inference time, the tail classes are often short of representative training data. To this end, we propose to augment the classic class-balanced learning by explicitly estimating the differences between the class-conditioned distributions with a meta-learning approach. We validate our approach with six benchmark datasets and three loss functions.

18. Two-Step Surface Damage Detection Scheme using Convolutional Neural Network and Artificial Neural Neural [PDF] 返回目录
  Alice Yi Yang, Ling Cheng
Abstract: Surface damage on concrete is important as the damage can affect the structural integrity of the structure. This paper proposes a two-step surface damage detection scheme using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The CNN classifies given input images into two categories: positive and negative. The positive category is where the surface damage is present within the image, otherwise the image is classified as negative. This is an image-based classification. The ANN accepts image inputs that have been classified as positive by the ANN. This reduces the number of images that are further processed by the ANN. The ANN performs feature-based classification, in which the features are extracted from the detected edges within the image. The edges are detected using Canny edge detection. A total of 19 features are extracted from the detected edges. These features are inputs into the ANN. The purpose of the ANN is to highlight only the positive damaged edges within the image. The CNN achieves an accuracy of 80.7% for image classification and the ANN achieves an accuracy of 98.1% for surface detection. The decreased accuracy in the CNN is due to the false positive detection, however false positives are tolerated whereas false negatives are not. The false negative detection for both CNN and ANN in the two-step scheme are 0%.

  Qiang Wang, Shaohuai Shi, Shizhen Zheng, Kaiyong Zhao, Xiaowen Chu
Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved great success in the area of computer vision. The disparity estimation problem tends to be addressed by DNNs which achieve much better prediction accuracy in stereo matching than traditional hand-crafted feature based methods. On one hand, however, the designed DNNs require significant memory and computation resources to accurately predict the disparity, especially for those 3D convolution based networks, which makes it difficult for deployment in real-time applications. On the other hand, existing computation-efficient networks lack expression capability in large-scale datasets so that they cannot make an accurate prediction in many scenarios. To this end, we propose an efficient and accurate deep network for disparity estimation named FADNet with three main features: 1) It exploits efficient 2D based correlation layers with stacked blocks to preserve fast computation; 2) It combines the residual structures to make the deeper model easier to learn; 3) It contains multi-scale predictions so as to exploit a multi-scale weight scheduling training technique to improve the accuracy. We conduct experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of FADNet on two popular datasets, Scene Flow and KITTI 2015. Experimental results show that FADNet achieves state-of-the-art prediction accuracy, and runs at a significant order of magnitude faster speed than existing 3D models. The codes of FADNet are available at this https URL.

20. Scalable learning for bridging the species gap in image-based plant phenotyping [PDF] 返回目录
  Daniel Ward, Peyman Moghadam
Abstract: The traditional paradigm of applying deep learning -- collect, annotate and train on data -- is not applicable to image-based plant phenotyping as almost 400,000 different plant species exists. Data costs include growing physical samples, imaging and labelling them. Model performance is impacted by the species gap between the domain of each plant species, it is not generalisable and may not transfer to unseen plant species. In this paper, we investigate the use of synthetic data for leaf instance segmentation. We study multiple synthetic data training regimes using Mask-RCNN when few or no annotated real data is available. We also present UPGen: a Universal Plant Generator for bridging the species gap. UPGen leverages domain randomisation to produce widely distributed data samples and models stochastic biological variation. Our methods outperform standard practices, such as transfer learning from publicly available plant data, by 26.6% and 51.46% on two unseen plant species respectively. We benchmark UPGen by competing in the CVPPP Leaf Segmentation Challenge and set a new state-of-the-art, a mean of 88% across A1-4 test datasets. This study is applicable to use of synthetic data for automating the measurement of phenotypic traits. Our synthetic dataset and pretrained model are available at this https URL.

21. Dynamic Hierarchical Mimicking Towards Consistent Optimization Objectives [PDF] 返回目录
  Duo Li, Qifeng Chen
Abstract: While the depth of modern Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) surpasses that of the pioneering networks with a significant margin, the traditional way of appending supervision only over the final classifier and progressively propagating gradient flow upstream remains the training mainstay. Seminal Deeply-Supervised Networks (DSN) were proposed to alleviate the difficulty of optimization arising from gradient flow through a long chain. However, it is still vulnerable to issues including interference to the hierarchical representation generation process and inconsistent optimization objectives, as illustrated theoretically and empirically in this paper. Complementary to previous training strategies, we propose Dynamic Hierarchical Mimicking, a generic feature learning mechanism, to advance CNN training with enhanced generalization ability. Partially inspired by DSN, we fork delicately designed side branches from the intermediate layers of a given neural network. Each branch can emerge from certain locations of the main branch dynamically, which not only retains representation rooted in the backbone network but also generates more diverse representations along its own pathway. We go one step further to promote multi-level interactions among different branches through an optimization formula with probabilistic prediction matching losses, thus guaranteeing a more robust optimization process and better representation ability. Experiments on both category and instance recognition tasks demonstrate the substantial improvements of our proposed method over its corresponding counterparts using diverse state-of-the-art CNN architectures.

22. Deep Line Art Video Colorization with a Few References [PDF] 返回目录
  Min Shi, Jia-Qi Zhang, Shu-Yu Chen, Lin Gao, Yu-Kun Lai, Fang-Lue Zhang
Abstract: Coloring line art images based on the colors of reference images is an important stage in animation production, which is time-consuming and tedious. In this paper, we propose a deep architecture to automatically color line art videos with the same color style as the given reference images. Our framework consists of a color transform network and a temporal constraint network. The color transform network takes the target line art images as well as the line art and color images of one or more reference images as input, and generates corresponding target color images. To cope with larger differences between the target line art image and reference color images, our architecture utilizes non-local similarity matching to determine the region correspondences between the target image and the reference images, which are used to transform the local color information from the references to the target. To ensure global color style consistency, we further incorporate Adaptive Instance Normalization (AdaIN) with the transformation parameters obtained from a style embedding vector that describes the global color style of the references, extracted by an embedder. The temporal constraint network takes the reference images and the target image together in chronological order, and learns the spatiotemporal features through 3D convolution to ensure the temporal consistency of the target image and the reference image. Our model can achieve even better coloring results by fine-tuning the parameters with only a small amount of samples when dealing with an animation of a new style. To evaluate our method, we build a line art coloring dataset. Experiments show that our method achieves the best performance on line art video coloring compared to the state-of-the-art methods and other baselines.
摘要:着色基于参考图像上的颜色艺术线条是在动画制作,这是耗时且繁琐的一个重要阶段。在本文中,我们提出了一个深刻的架构,搭配同色系的风格为给定的参考图像自动彩色线条艺术影片。我们的框架是由彩色变换网络和时间约束网络。颜色变换网络取目标艺术线条以及艺术线条和彩色图像的一个或多个参考图像作为输入,并且生成相应的目标彩色图像。为了应对目标线画图像和参考彩色图像之间的较大差异,我们的体系结构利用非局部相似性匹配,以确定目标图像和参考图像,这是用来从引用变换局部颜色信息之间的区域对应到目标。为了确保全局颜色样式一致,我们进一步用从描述的参考文献的全局颜色样式,由嵌入器提取的风格嵌入矢量得到的变换参数纳入自适应实例正常化(AdaIN)。时间约束网络需要参考图像和目标图像一起按时间顺序,并获知通过三维卷积时空功能,以确保目标图像的和时间一致性的参考图像。我们的模型甚至可以达到更好的新的风格的动画打交道时通过微调着色结果的参数,只有样本量小。为了评估我们的方法,我们建立了一个艺术线条着色的数据集。实验表明,我们的方法实现相比,国家的最先进的方法和其它基准线艺术视频着色最佳性能。

Abstract: The task of detecting 3D objects is important to various robotic applications. The existing deep learning-based detection techniques have achieved impressive performance. However, these techniques are limited to run with a graphics processing unit (GPU) in a real-time environment. To achieve real-time 3D object detection with limited computational resources for robots, we propose an efficient detection method consisting of 3D proposal generation and classification. The proposal generation is mainly based on point segmentation, while the proposal classification is performed by a lightweight convolution neural network (CNN) model. To validate our method, KITTI datasets are utilized. The experimental results demonstrate the capability of proposed real-time 3D object detection method from the point cloud with a competitive performance of object recall and classification.

Abstract: Public cameras often have limited metadata describing their attributes. A key missing attribute is the precise location of the camera, using which it is possible to precisely pinpoint the location of events seen in the camera. In this paper, we explore the following question: under what conditions is it possible to estimate the location of a camera from a single image taken by the camera? We show that, using a judicious combination of projective geometry, neural networks, and crowd-sourced annotations from human workers, it is possible to position 95% of the images in our test data set to within 12 m. This performance is two orders of magnitude better than PoseNet, a state-of-the-art neural network that, when trained on a large corpus of images in an area, can estimate the pose of a single image. Finally, we show that the camera's inferred position and intrinsic parameters can help design a number of virtual sensors, all of which are reasonably accurate.

  Zhongguo Li, Fan Lyu, Wei Feng, Song Wang
Abstract: With the development of Augmented Reality (AR), egocentric action recognition (EAR) plays important role in accurately understanding demands from the user. However, EAR is designed to help recognize human-machine interaction in single egocentric view, thus difficult to capture interactions between two face-to-face AR users. Paired egocentric interaction recognition (PEIR) is the task to collaboratively recognize the interactions between two persons with the videos in their corresponding views. Unfortunately, existing PEIR methods always directly use linear decision function to fuse the features extracted from two corresponding egocentric videos, which ignore consistency of interaction in paired egocentric videos. The consistency of interactions in paired videos, and features extracted from them are correlated to each other. On top of that, we propose to build the relevance between two views using biliear pooling, which capture the consistency of two views in feature-level. Specifically, each neuron in the feature maps from one view connects to the neurons from another view, which guarantee the compact consistency between two views. Then all possible paired neurons are used for PEIR for the inside consistent information of them. To be efficient, we use compact bilinear pooling with Count Sketch to avoid directly computing outer product in bilinear. Experimental results on dataset PEV shows the superiority of the proposed methods on the task PEIR.

  Weide Liu, Chi Zhang, Guosheng Lin, Fayao Liu
Abstract: Over the past few years, state-of-the-art image segmentation algorithms are based on deep convolutional neural networks. To render a deep network with the ability to understand a concept, humans need to collect a large amount of pixel-level annotated data to train the models, which is time-consuming and tedious. Recently, few-shot segmentation is proposed to solve this problem. Few-shot segmentation aims to learn a segmentation model that can be generalized to novel classes with only a few training images. In this paper, we propose a cross-reference network (CRNet) for few-shot segmentation. Unlike previous works which only predict the mask in the query image, our proposed model concurrently make predictions for both the support image and the query image. With a cross-reference mechanism, our network can better find the co-occurrent objects in the two images, thus helping the few-shot segmentation task. We also develop a mask refinement module to recurrently refine the prediction of the foreground regions. For the $k$-shot learning, we propose to finetune parts of networks to take advantage of multiple labeled support images. Experiments on the PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset show that our network achieves state-of-the-art performance.

  Yuliang Guo, Guang Chen, Peitao Zhao, Weide Zhang, Jinghao Miao, Jingao Wang, Tae Eun Choe
Abstract: We present a generalized and scalable method, called Gen-LaneNet, to detect 3D lanes from a single image. The method, inspired by the latest state-of-the-art 3D-LaneNet, is a unified framework solving image encoding, spatial transform of features and 3D lane prediction in a single network. However, we propose unique designs for Gen-LaneNet in two folds. First, we introduce a new geometry-guided lane anchor representation in a new coordinate frame and apply a specific geometric transformation to directly calculate real 3D lane points from the network output. We demonstrate that aligning the lane points with the underlying top-view features in the new coordinate frame is critical towards a generalized method in handling unfamiliar scenes. Second, we present a scalable two-stage framework that decouples the learning of image segmentation subnetwork and geometry encoding subnetwork. Compared to 3D-LaneNet, the proposed Gen-LaneNet drastically reduces the amount of 3D lane labels required to achieve a robust solution in real-world application. Moreover, we release a new synthetic dataset and its construction strategy to encourage the development and evaluation of 3D lane detection methods. In experiments, we conduct extensive ablation study to substantiate the proposed Gen-LaneNet significantly outperforms 3D-LaneNet in average precision(AP) and F-score.

  Lei Zhou, Zixin Luo, Tianwei Shen, Jiahui Zhang, Mingmin Zhen, Yao Yao, Tian Fang, Long Quan
Abstract: Temporal camera relocalization estimates the pose with respect to each video frame in sequence, as opposed to one-shot relocalization which focuses on a still image. Even though the time dependency has been taken into account, current temporal relocalization methods still generally underperform the state-of-the-art one-shot approaches in terms of accuracy. In this work, we improve the temporal relocalization method by using a network architecture that incorporates Kalman filtering (KFNet) for online camera relocalization. In particular, KFNet extends the scene coordinate regression problem to the time domain in order to recursively establish 2D and 3D correspondences for the pose determination. The network architecture design and the loss formulation are based on Kalman filtering in the context of Bayesian learning. Extensive experiments on multiple relocalization benchmarks demonstrate the high accuracy of KFNet at the top of both one-shot and temporal relocalization approaches.

Abstract: Synthetic data has been a critical tool for training scene text detection and recognition models. On the one hand, synthetic word images have proven to be a successful substitute for real images in training scene text recognizers. On the other hand, however, scene text detectors still heavily rely on a large amount of manually annotated real-world images, which are expensive. In this paper, we introduce UnrealText, an efficient image synthesis method that renders realistic images via a 3D graphics engine. 3D synthetic engine provides realistic appearance by rendering scene and text as a whole, and allows for better text region proposals with access to precise scene information, e.g. normal and even object meshes. The comprehensive experiments verify its effectiveness on both scene text detection and recognition. We also generate a multilingual version for future research into multilingual scene text detection and recognition. The code and the generated datasets are released at: this https URL .

Abstract: The need for comprehensive and automated screening methods for retinal image classification has long been recognized. Well-qualified doctors annotated images are very expensive and only a limited amount of data is available for various retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Some studies show that AMD and DR share some common features like hemorrhagic points and exudation but most classification algorithms only train those disease models independently. Inspired by knowledge distillation where additional monitoring signals from various sources is beneficial to train a robust model with much fewer data. We propose a method called synergic adversarial label learning (SALL) which leverages relevant retinal disease labels in both semantic and feature space as additional signals and train the model in a collaborative manner. Our experiments on DR and AMD fundus image classification task demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve the accuracy of the model for grading diseases. In addition, we conduct additional experiments to show the effectiveness of SALL from the aspects of reliability and interpretability in the context of medical imaging application.

  Arka Sadhu, Kan Chen, Ram Nevatia
Abstract: We explore the task of Video Object Grounding (VOG), which grounds objects in videos referred to in natural language descriptions. Previous methods apply image grounding based algorithms to address VOG, fail to explore the object relation information and suffer from limited generalization. Here, we investigate the role of object relations in VOG and propose a novel framework VOGNet to encode multi-modal object relations via self-attention with relative position encoding. To evaluate VOGNet, we propose novel contrasting sampling methods to generate more challenging grounding input samples, and construct a new dataset called ActivityNet-SRL (ASRL) based on existing caption and grounding datasets. Experiments on ASRL validate the need of encoding object relations in VOG, and our VOGNet outperforms competitive baselines by a significant margin.

  Md Sirajus Salekin, Ghada Zamzmi, Dmitry Goldgof, Rangachar Kasturi, Thao Ho, Yu Sun
Abstract: This paper presents the first investigation into the use of fully automated deep learning framework for assessing neonatal postoperative pain. It specifically investigates the use of Bilinear Convolutional Neural Network (B-CNN) to extract facial features during different levels of postoperative pain followed by modeling the temporal pattern using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Although acute and postoperative pain have some common characteristics (e.g., visual action units), postoperative pain has a different dynamic, and it evolves in a unique pattern over time. Our experimental results indicate a clear difference between the pattern of acute and postoperative pain. They also suggest the efficiency of using a combination of bilinear CNN with RNN model for the continuous assessment of postoperative pain intensity.

33. Adversarial Perturbations Fool Deepfake Detectors [PDF] 返回目录
  Apurva Gandhi, Shomik Jain
Abstract: This work uses adversarial perturbations to enhance deepfake images and fool common deepfake detectors. We created adversarial perturbations using the Fast Gradient Sign Method and the Carlini and Wagner L2 norm attack in both blackbox and whitebox settings. Detectors achieved over 95% accuracy on unperturbed deepfakes, but less than 27% accuracy on perturbed deepfakes. We also explore two improvements to deepfake detectors: (i) Lipschitz regularization, and (ii) Deep Image Prior (DIP). Lipschitz regularization constrains the gradient of the detector with respect to the input in order to increase robustness to input perturbations. The DIP defense removes perturbations using generative convolutional neural networks in an unsupervised manner. Regularization improved the detection of perturbed deepfakes on average, including a 10% accuracy boost in the blackbox case. The DIP defense achieved 95% accuracy on perturbed deepfakes that fooled the original detector, while retaining 98% accuracy in other cases on a 100 image subsample.

  Martin Mayr, Martin Stumpf, Anguelos Nikolaou, Mathias Seuret, Andreas Maier, Vincent Christlein
Abstract: Most people think that their handwriting is unique and cannot be imitated by machines, especially not using completely new content. Current cursive handwriting synthesis is visually limited or needs user interaction. We show that subdividing the process into smaller subtasks makes it possible to imitate someone's handwriting with a high chance to be visually indistinguishable for humans. Therefore, a given handwritten sample will be used as the target style. This sample is transferred to an online sequence. Then, a method for online handwriting synthesis is used to produce a new realistic-looking text primed with the online input sequence. This new text is then rendered and style-adapted to the input pen. We show the effectiveness of the pipeline by generating in- and out-of-vocabulary handwritten samples that are validated in a comprehensive user study. Additionally, we show that also a typical writer identification system can partially be fooled by the created fake handwritings.

35. A Simple Fix for Convolutional Neural Network via Coordinate Embedding [PDF] 返回目录
  Liliang Ren, Zhuonan Hao
Abstract: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) has been widely applied in the realm of computer vision. However, given the fact that CNN models are translation invariant, they are not aware of the coordinate information of each pixel. Thus the generalization ability of CNN will be limited since the coordinate information is crucial for a model to learn affine transformations which directly operate on the coordinate of each pixel. In this project, we proposed a simple approach to incorporate the coordinate information to the CNN model through coordinate embedding. Our approach does not change the downstream model architecture and can be easily applied to the pre-trained models for the task like object detection. Our experiments on the German Traffic Sign Detection Benchmark show that our approach not only significantly improve the model performance but also have better robustness with respect to the affine transformation.
摘要:卷积神经网络(CNN)已被广泛应用于计算机视觉领域。然而,鉴于CNN模型是平移不变的,他们不知道每个像素的坐标信息。因此由于坐标信息是至关重要的一个模型,以了解哪些直接在每个像素的坐标操作仿射变换CNN的泛化能力将受到限制。在这个项目中,我们提出了一种简单的方法来协调信息纳入到了CNN模型通过协调嵌入。我们的做法不会改变下游模型架构,可以方便地应用于预先训练的模型像物体检测任务。我们对德国交通实验标志检测基准表明,我们的方法不仅显著提高模型的性能,而且具有较好的鲁棒性关于仿射变换。

36. Broad Area Search and Detection of Surface-to-Air Missile Sites Using Spatial Fusion of Component Object Detections from Deep Neural Networks [PDF] 返回目录
  Alan B. Cannaday II, Curt H. Davis, Grant J. Scott, Blake Ruprecht, Derek T. Anderson
Abstract: Here we demonstrate how Deep Neural Network (DNN) detections of multiple constitutive or component objects that are part of a larger, more complex, and encompassing feature can be spatially fused to improve the search, detection, and retrieval (ranking) of the larger complex feature. First, scores computed from a spatial clustering algorithm are normalized to a reference space so that they are independent of image resolution and DNN input chip size. Then, multi-scale DNN detections from various component objects are fused to improve the detection and retrieval of DNN detections of a larger complex feature. We demonstrate the utility of this approach for broad area search and detection of Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) sites that have a very low occurrence rate (only 16 sites) over a ~90,000 km^2 study area in SE China. The results demonstrate that spatial fusion of multi-scale component-object DNN detections can reduce the detection error rate of SAM Sites by $>$85% while still maintaining a 100% recall. The novel spatial fusion approach demonstrated here can be easily extended to a wide variety of other challenging object search and detection problems in large-scale remote sensing image datasets.

  Sharon Fogel, Hadar Averbuch-Elor, Sarel Cohen, Shai Mazor, Roee Litman
Abstract: Optical character recognition (OCR) systems performance have improved significantly in the deep learning era. This is especially true for handwritten text recognition (HTR), where each author has a unique style, unlike printed text, where the variation is smaller by design. That said, deep learning based HTR is limited, as in every other task, by the number of training examples. Gathering data is a challenging and costly task, and even more so, the labeling task that follows, of which we focus here. One possible approach to reduce the burden of data annotation is semi-supervised learning. Semi supervised methods use, in addition to labeled data, some unlabeled samples to improve performance, compared to fully supervised ones. Consequently, such methods may adapt to unseen images during test time. We present ScrabbleGAN, a semi-supervised approach to synthesize handwritten text images that are versatile both in style and lexicon. ScrabbleGAN relies on a novel generative model which can generate images of words with an arbitrary length. We show how to operate our approach in a semi-supervised manner, enjoying the aforementioned benefits such as performance boost over state of the art supervised HTR. Furthermore, our generator can manipulate the resulting text style. This allows us to change, for instance, whether the text is cursive, or how thin is the pen stroke.

Abstract: Although occlusion widely exists in nature and remains a fundamental challenge for pose estimation, existing heatmap-based approaches suffer serious degradation on occlusions. Their intrinsic problem is that they directly localize the joints based on visual information; however, the invisible joints are lack of that. In contrast to localization, our framework estimates the invisible joints from an inference perspective by proposing an Image-Guided Progressive GCN module which provides a comprehensive understanding of both image context and pose structure. Moreover, existing benchmarks contain limited occlusions for evaluation. Therefore, we thoroughly pursue this problem and propose a novel OPEC-Net framework together with a new Occluded Pose (OCPose) dataset with 9k annotated images. Extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations on benchmarks demonstrate that OPEC-Net achieves significant improvements over recent leading works. Notably, our OCPose is the most complex occlusion dataset with respect to average IoU between adjacent instances. Source code and OCPose will be publicly available.
摘要:虽然闭塞广泛存在于自然界,并保持姿态估计一个根本性的挑战,现有的基于热图的办法遭受的闭塞严重退化。其内在的问题是,他们基于视觉信息直接定位关节;然而,看不见的关节是缺乏这一点。相较于本地化,我们的框架通过提出一种图像引导进GCN模块,同时提供图像内容和姿态结构的全面了解估计从推理的角度看不见的关节。此外,现有的基准测试包含评估有限闭塞。因此,彻底地追求这个问题,并与9K注解图像的新姿态闭塞(OCPose)数据集一起提出了一个新颖的OPEC-Net的框架。在基准广泛的定量和定性的评估表明,欧佩克网在最近领先的作品达到显著的改善。值得注意的是,我们的OCPose与相邻实例之间的相对于平均IOU最复杂的遮挡数据集。源代码和OCPose将公之于众。

  Yiding Yang, Jiayan Qiu, Mingli Song, Dacheng Tao, Xinchao Wang
Abstract: Existing knowledge distillation methods focus on convolutional neural networks~(CNNs), where the input samples like images lie in a grid domain, and have largely overlooked graph convolutional networks~(GCN) that handle non-grid data. In this paper, we propose to our best knowledge the first dedicated approach to {distilling} knowledge from a pre-trained GCN model. To enable the knowledge transfer from the teacher GCN to the student, we propose a local structure preserving module that explicitly accounts for the topological semantics of the teacher. In this module, the local structure information from both the teacher and the student are extracted as distributions, and hence minimizing the distance between these distributions enables topology-aware knowledge transfer from the teacher, yielding a compact yet high-performance student model. Moreover, the proposed approach is readily extendable to dynamic graph models, where the input graphs for the teacher and the student may differ. We evaluate the proposed method on two different datasets using GCN models of different architectures, and demonstrate that our method achieves the state-of-the-art knowledge distillation performance for GCN models.

40. Label Noise Types and Their Effects on Deep Learning [PDF] 返回目录
  Görkem Algan, İlkay Ulusoy
Abstract: The recent success of deep learning is mostly due to the availability of big datasets with clean annotations. However, gathering a cleanly annotated dataset is not always feasible due to practical challenges. As a result, label noise is a common problem in datasets, and numerous methods to train deep neural networks in the presence of noisy labels are proposed in the literature. These methods commonly use benchmark datasets with synthetic label noise on the training set. However, there are multiple types of label noise, and each of them has its own characteristic impact on learning. Since each work generates a different kind of label noise, it is problematic to test and compare those algorithms in the literature fairly. In this work, we provide a detailed analysis of the effects of different kinds of label noise on learning. Moreover, we propose a generic framework to generate feature-dependent label noise, which we show to be the most challenging case for learning. Our proposed method aims to emphasize similarities among data instances by sparsely distributing them in the feature domain. By this approach, samples that are more likely to be mislabeled are detected from their softmax probabilities, and their labels are flipped to the corresponding class. The proposed method can be applied to any clean dataset to synthesize feature-dependent noisy labels. For the ease of other researchers to test their algorithms with noisy labels, we share corrupted labels for the most commonly used benchmark datasets. Our code and generated noisy synthetic labels are available online.
摘要:最近深度学习的成功主要是由于用干净的注释大数据集的可用性。然而,聚集了干净注释数据集并不总是可行的,由于实际的挑战。其结果是,标签噪声是在数据集的一个常见问题,并且许多方法在嘈杂的标签的存在于文献中提出的训练深神经网络。这些方法通常使用标准数据集与训练集合成标签的噪音。不过,也有多种类型标签的噪声,他们每个人都有学习其自身的特点影响。由于每个工作产生不同种类的标签的噪音,是有问题的测试和这些算法在文献中相当比较。在这项工作中,我们提供了学习不同类型的标签噪声的影响进行详细分析。此外,我们提出了一个通用框架噪声产生取决于特征的标签,这是我们展示成为学习的最具挑战性的情况下。我们提出的方法旨在通过在特征域分布稀疏他们强调数据实例之间的相似性。通过这种方法,从它们的SOFTMAX概率检测样本更可能被贴错标签,他们的标签翻转到相应的类。所提出的方法可以应用到任何清洁数据集合成取决于特征的嘈杂的标签。为便于其他研究人员与嘈杂的标签,以测试他们的算法,我们分享了最常用的标准数据集已损坏的标签。我们的代码和生成的嘈杂合成标签可在网上。

  Aviv Shamsian, Ofri Kleinfeld, Amir Globerson, Gal Chechik
Abstract: Object Permanence allows people to reason about the location of non-visible objects, by understanding that they continue to exist even when not perceived directly. Object Permanence is critical for building a model of the world, since objects in natural visual scenes dynamically occlude and contain each-other. Intensive studies in developmental psychology suggest that object permanence is a challenging task that is learned through extensive experience. Here we introduce the setup of learning Object Permanence from data. We explain why this learning problem should be dissected into four components, where objects are (1) visible, (2) occluded, (3) contained by another object and (4) carried by a containing object. The fourth subtask, where a target object is carried by a containing object, is particularly challenging because it requires a system to reason about a moving location of an invisible object. We then present a unified deep architecture that learns to predict object location under these four scenarios. We evaluate the architecture and system on a new dataset based on CATER, and find that it outperforms previous localization methods and various baselines.

  Pietro Astolfi, Ruben Verhagen, Laurent Petit, Emanuele Olivetti, Jonathan Masci, Davide Boscaini, Paolo Avesani
Abstract: Tractograms are virtual representations of the white matter fibers of the brain. They are of primary interest for tasks like presurgical planning, and investigation of neuroplasticity or brain disorders. Each tractogram is composed of millions of fibers encoded as 3D polylines. Unfortunately, a large portion of those fibers are not anatomically plausible and can be considered artifacts of the tracking algorithms. Common methods for tractogram filtering are based on signal reconstruction, a principled approach, but unable to consider the knowledge of brain anatomy. In this work, we address the problem of tractogram filtering as a supervised learning problem by exploiting the ground truth annotations obtained with a recent heuristic method, which labels fibers as either anatomically plausible or non-plausible according to well-established anatomical properties. The intuitive idea is to model a fiber as a point cloud and the goal is to investigate whether and how a geometric deep learning model might capture its anatomical properties. Our contribution is an extension of the Dynamic Edge Convolution model that exploits the sequential relations of points in a fiber and discriminates with high accuracy plausible/non-plausible fibers.

  Josue Page, Federico Saltarin, Yury Belyaev, Ruth Lyck, Paolo Favaro
Abstract: We present a novel deep learning approach to reconstruct confocal microscopy stacks from single light field images. To perform the reconstruction, we introduce the LFMNet, a novel neural network architecture inspired by the U-Net design. It is able to reconstruct with high-accuracy a 112x112x57.6$\mu m^3$ volume (1287x1287x64 voxels) in 50ms given a single light field image of 1287x1287 pixels, thus dramatically reducing 720-fold the time for confocal scanning of assays at the same volumetric resolution and 64-fold the required storage. To prove the applicability in life sciences, our approach is evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively on mouse brain slices with fluorescently labelled blood vessels. Because of the drastic reduction in scan time and storage space, our setup and method are directly applicable to real-time in vivo 3D microscopy. We provide analysis of the optical design, of the network architecture and of our training procedure to optimally reconstruct volumes for a given target depth range. To train our network, we built a data set of 362 light field images of mouse brain blood vessels and the corresponding aligned set of 3D confocal scans, which we use as ground truth. The data set will be made available for research purposes.

  Maxime Mulamba, Jayanta Mandi, Rocsildes Canoy, Tias Guns
Abstract: There is an increased interest in solving complex constrained problems where part of the input is not given as facts but received as raw sensor data such as images or speech. We will use "visual sudoku" as a prototype problem, where the given cell digits are handwritten and provided as an image thereof. In this case, one first has to train and use a classifier to label the images, so that the labels can be used for solving the problem. In this paper, we explore the hybridization of classifying the images with the reasoning of a constraint solver. We show that pure constraint reasoning on predictions does not give satisfactory results. Instead, we explore the possibilities of a tighter integration, by exposing the probabilistic estimates of the classifier to the constraint solver. This allows joint inference on these probabilistic estimates, where we use the solver to find the maximum likelihood solution. We explore the trade-off between the power of the classifier and the power of the constraint reasoning, as well as further integration through the additional use of structural knowledge. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of calibration of the probabilistic estimates on the reasoning. Our results show that such hybrid approaches vastly outperform a separate approach, which encourages a further integration of prediction (probabilities) and constraint solving.

Abstract: The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), with a starting point in China, has spread rapidly among people living in other countries, and is approaching approximately 305,275 cases worldwide according to the statistics of European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. There are a limited number of COVID-19 test kits available in hospitals due to the increasing cases daily. Therefore, it is necessary to implement an automatic detection system as a quick alternative diagnosis option to prevent COVID-19 spreading among people. In this study, three different convolutional neural network based models (ResNet50, InceptionV3 and Inception-ResNetV2) have been proposed for the detection of coronavirus pneumonia infected patient using chest X-ray radiographs. ROC analyses and confusion matrices by these three models are given and analyzed using 5-fold cross validation. Considering the performance results obtained, it is seen that the pre-trained ResNet50 model provides the highest classification performance with 98% accuracy among other two proposed models (97% accuracy for InceptionV3 and 87% accuracy for Inception-ResNetV2).

Abstract: Soil moisture is critical component of crop health and monitoring it can enable further actions for increasing yield or preventing catastrophic die off. As climate change increases the likelihood of extreme weather events and reduces the predictability of weather, and non-optimal soil moistures for crops may become more likely. In this work, we a series of LSTM architectures to analyze measurements of soil moisture and vegetation indiced derived from satellite imagery. The system learns to predict the future values of these measurements.

Abstract: This paper focuses on finding the most optimal pre-processing methods considering three common algorithms for image enhancement: Brightening, CLAHE and Retinex. For the purpose of image training in general, these methods will be combined to find out the most optimal method for image enhancement. We have carried out the research on the different permutation of three methods: Brightening, CLAHE and Retinex. The evaluation is based on Canny Edge detection applied to all processed images. Then the sharpness of objects will be justified by true positive pixels number in comparison between images. After using different number combinations pre-processing functions on images, CLAHE proves to be the most effective in edges improvement, Brightening does not show much effect on the edges enhancement, and the Retinex even reduces the sharpness of images and shows little contribution on images enhancement.

49. Registration by tracking for sequential 2D MRI [PDF] 返回目录
  Niklas Gunnarsson, Jens Sjölund, Thomas B. Schön
Abstract: Our anatomy is in constant motion. With modern MR imaging it is possible to record this motion in real-time during an ongoing radiation therapy session. In this paper we present an image registration method that exploits the sequential nature of 2D MR images to estimate the corresponding displacement field. The method employs several discriminative correlation filters that independently track specific points. Together with a sparse-to-dense interpolation scheme we can then estimate of the displacement field. The discriminative correlation filters are trained online, and our method is modality agnostic. For the interpolation scheme we use a neural network with normalized convolutions that is trained using synthetic diffeomorphic displacement fields. The method is evaluated on a segmented cardiac dataset and when compared to two conventional methods we observe an improved performance. This improvement is especially pronounced when it comes to the detection of larger motions of small objects.

Abstract: The emerging area of computational pathology (CPath) is ripe ground for the application of deep learning (DL) methods to healthcare due to the sheer volume of raw pixel data in whole-slide images (WSIs) of cancerous tissue slides, generally of the order of $100K{\times}80K$ pixels. However, it is imperative for the DL algorithms relying on nuclei-level details to be able to cope with data from `the clinical wild', which tends to be quite challenging. We study, and extend recently released PanNuke dataset consisting of more than 200,000 nuclei categorized into 5 clinically important classes for the challenging tasks of detecting, segmenting and classifying nuclei in WSIs \footnote{Download dataset here \href{this https URL}{this https URL}} \cite{gamper_pannuke:_2019}. Previous pan-cancer datasets consisted of only up to 9 different tissues and up to 21,000 unlabeled nuclei \cite{kumar2019multi} and just over 24,000 labeled nuclei with segmentation masks \cite{graham_hover-net:_2019}. PanNuke consists of 19 different tissue types from over 20,000 WSIs that have been semi-automatically annotated and quality controlled by clinical pathologists, leading to a dataset with statistics similar to `the clinical wild' and with minimal selection bias. We study the performance of segmentation and classification models when applied to the proposed dataset and demonstrate the application of models trained on PanNuke to whole-slide images. We provide comprehensive statistics about the dataset and outline recommendations and research directions to address the limitations of existing DL tools when applied to real-world CPath applications.

51. Generating Chinese Poetry from Images via Concrete and Abstract Information [PDF] 返回目录
  Yusen Liu, Dayiheng Liu, Jiancheng Lv, Yongsheng Sang
Abstract: In recent years, the automatic generation of classical Chinese poetry has made great progress. Besides focusing on improving the quality of the generated poetry, there is a new topic about generating poetry from an image. However, the existing methods for this topic still have the problem of topic drift and semantic inconsistency, and the image-poem pairs dataset is hard to be built when training these models. In this paper, we extract and integrate the Concrete and Abstract information from images to address those issues. We proposed an infilling-based Chinese poetry generation model which can infill the Concrete keywords into each line of poems in an explicit way, and an abstract information embedding to integrate the Abstract information into generated poems. In addition, we use non-parallel data during training and construct separate image datasets and poem datasets to train the different components in our framework. Both automatic and human evaluation results show that our approach can generate poems which have better consistency with images without losing the quality.

52. Estimating Uncertainty and Interpretability in Deep Learning for Coronavirus (COVID-19) Detection [PDF] 返回目录
  Biraja Ghoshal, Allan Tucker
Abstract: Deep Learning has achieved state of the art performance in medical imaging. However, these methods for disease detection focus exclusively on improving the accuracy of classification or predictions without quantifying uncertainty in a decision. Knowing how much confidence there is in a computer-based medical diagnosis is essential for gaining clinicians trust in the technology and therefore improve treatment. Today, the 2019 Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infections are a major healthcare challenge around the world. Detecting COVID-19 in X-ray images is crucial for diagnosis, assessment and treatment. However, diagnostic uncertainty in the report is a challenging and yet inevitable task for radiologist. In this paper, we investigate how drop-weights based Bayesian Convolutional Neural Networks (BCNN) can estimate uncertainty in Deep Learning solution to improve the diagnostic performance of the human-machine team using publicly available COVID-19 chest X-ray dataset and show that the uncertainty in prediction is highly correlates with accuracy of prediction. We believe that the availability of uncertainty-aware deep learning solution will enable a wider adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a clinical setting.

Abstract: Automatic surgical phase recognition is a challenging and crucial task with the potential to improve patient safety and become an integral part of intra-operative decision-support systems. In this paper, we propose, for the first time in workflow analysis, a Multi-Stage Temporal Convolutional Network (MS-TCN) that performs hierarchical prediction refinement for surgical phase recognition. Causal, dilated convolutions allow for a large receptive field and online inference with smooth predictions even during ambiguous transitions. Our method is thoroughly evaluated on two datasets of laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos with and without the use of additional surgical tool information. Outperforming various state-of-the-art LSTM approaches, we verify the suitability of the proposed causal MS-TCN for surgical phase recognition.

54. Organ Segmentation From Full-size CT Images Using Memory-Efficient FCN [PDF] 返回目录
  Chenglong Wang, Masahiro Oda, Kensaku Mori
Abstract: In this work, we present a memory-efficient fully convolutional network (FCN) incorporated with several memory-optimized techniques to reduce the run-time GPU memory demand during training phase. In medical image segmentation tasks, subvolume cropping has become a common preprocessing. Subvolumes (or small patch volumes) were cropped to reduce GPU memory demand. However, small patch volumes capture less spatial context that leads to lower accuracy. As a pilot study, the purpose of this work is to propose a memory-efficient FCN which enables us to train the model on full size CT image directly without subvolume cropping, while maintaining the segmentation accuracy. We optimize our network from both architecture and implementation. With the development of computing hardware, such as graphics processing unit (GPU) and tensor processing unit (TPU), now deep learning applications is able to train networks with large datasets within acceptable time. Among these applications, semantic segmentation using fully convolutional network (FCN) also has gained a significant improvement against traditional image processing approaches in both computer vision and medical image processing fields. However, unlike general color images used in computer vision tasks, medical images have larger scales than color images such as 3D computed tomography (CT) images, micro CT images, and histopathological images. For training these medical images, the large demand of computing resource become a severe problem. In this paper, we present a memory-efficient FCN to tackle the high GPU memory demand challenge in organ segmentation problem from clinical CT images. The experimental results demonstrated that our GPU memory demand is about 40% of baseline architecture, parameter amount is about 30% of the baseline.

55. Learning regularization and intensity-gradient-based fidelity for single image super resolution [PDF] 返回目录
  Hu Liang, Shengrong Zhao
Abstract: How to extract more and useful information for single image super resolution is an imperative and difficult problem. Learning-based method is a representative method for such task. However, the results are not so stable as there may exist big difference between the training data and the test data. The regularization-based method can effectively utilize the self-information of observation. However, the degradation model used in regularization-based method just considers the degradation in intensity space. It may not reconstruct images well as the degradation reflections in various feature space are not considered. In this paper, we first study the image degradation progress, and establish degradation model both in intensity and gradient space. Thus, a comprehensive data consistency constraint is established for the reconstruction. Consequently, more useful information can be extracted from the observed data. Second, the regularization term is learned by a designed symmetric residual deep neural-network. It can search similar external information from a predefined dataset avoiding the artificial tendency. Finally, the proposed fidelity term and designed regularization term are embedded into the regularization framework. Further, an optimization method is developed based on the half-quadratic splitting method and the pseudo conjugate method. Experimental results indicated that the subjective and the objective metric corresponding to the proposed method were better than those obtained by the comparison methods.
摘要:单幅图像超分辨率如何提取更多的和有用的信息是必要的和困难的问题。基于学习的方法是这样的任务的典型方法。然而,结果并不那么稳定,有可能存在的训练数据和测试数据相差很大。基于正则化法能够有效地利用观察的自信息。然而,在基于正则-方法中使用的劣化模型只考虑在强度空间中的降解。它可能不是重建图像以及在各种特征空间中的降解的反射不考虑。在本文中,我们首先研究了图像退化的进展,并同时建立在强度和梯度空间退化模型。因此,一个全面的数据一致性约束被建立用于重建。因此,更多的有用信息可从所观察到的数据中提取。其次,正则项是由设计对称残留深层神经网络学会。它可以从预定义的数据集,避免了人工搜索的趋势相似的外部信息。最后,所提出的保真项和设计调整项被嵌入到正规化的框架。此外,优化方法是基于半二次分裂法和伪共轭法的发展。实验结果表明,主观和客观度量对应于所提出的方法比通过比较方法获得的那些更好。

56. Robust and On-the-fly Dataset Denoising for Image Classification [PDF] 返回目录
  Jiaming Song, Lunjia Hu, Yann Dauphin, Michael Auli, Tengyu Ma
Abstract: Memorization in over-parameterized neural networks could severely hurt generalization in the presence of mislabeled examples. However, mislabeled examples are hard to avoid in extremely large datasets collected with weak supervision. We address this problem by reasoning counterfactually about the loss distribution of examples with uniform random labels had they were trained with the real examples, and use this information to remove noisy examples from the training set. First, we observe that examples with uniform random labels have higher losses when trained with stochastic gradient descent under large learning rates. Then, we propose to model the loss distribution of the counterfactual examples using only the network parameters, which is able to model such examples with remarkable success. Finally, we propose to remove examples whose loss exceeds a certain quantile of the modeled loss distribution. This leads to On-the-fly Data Denoising (ODD), a simple yet effective algorithm that is robust to mislabeled examples, while introducing almost zero computational overhead compared to standard training. ODD is able to achieve state-of-the-art results on a wide range of datasets including real-world ones such as WebVision and Clothing1M.

Abstract: Cribriform growth patterns in prostate carcinoma are associated with poor prognosis. We aimed to introduce a deep learning method to detect such patterns automatically. To do so, convolutional neural network was trained to detect cribriform growth patterns on 128 prostate needle biopsies. Ensemble learning taking into account other tumor growth patterns during training was used to cope with heterogeneous and limited tumor tissue occurrences. ROC and FROC analyses were applied to assess network performance regarding detection of biopsies harboring cribriform growth pattern. The ROC analysis yielded an area under the curve up to 0.82. FROC analysis demonstrated a sensitivity of 0.9 for regions larger than 0.0150 mm2 with on average 6.8 false positives. To benchmark method performance for intra-observer annotation variability, false positive and negative detections were re-evaluated by the pathologists. Pathologists considered 9% of the false positive regions as cribriform, and 11% as possibly cribriform; 44% of the false negative regions were not annotated as cribriform. As a final experiment, the network was also applied on a dataset of 60 biopsy regions annotated by 23 pathologists. With the cut-off reaching highest sensitivity, all images annotated as cribriform by at least 7/23 of the pathologists, were all detected as cribriform by the network. In conclusion, the proposed deep learning method has high sensitivity for detecting cribriform growth patterns at the expense of a limited number of false positives. It can detect cribriform regions that are labelled as such by at least a minority of pathologists. Therefore, it could assist clinical decision making by suggesting suspicious regions.
