Abstract: Siamese-based trackers have achieved excellent performance on visual object tracking. However, the target template is not updated online, and the features of the target template and search image are computed independently in a Siamese architecture. In this paper, we propose Deformable Siamese Attention Networks, referred to as SiamAttn, by introducing a new Siamese attention mechanism that computes deformable self-attention and cross-attention. The self attention learns strong context information via spatial attention, and selectively emphasizes interdependent channel-wise features with channel attention. The cross-attention is capable of aggregating rich contextual inter-dependencies between the target template and the search image, providing an implicit manner to adaptively update the target template. In addition, we design a region refinement module that computes depth-wise cross correlations between the attentional features for more accurate tracking. We conduct experiments on six benchmarks, where our method achieves new state of-the-art results, outperforming the strong baseline, SiamRPN++ [24], by 0.464->0.537 and 0.415->0.470 EAO on VOT 2016 and 2018.

Abstract: On public benchmarks, current action recognition techniques have achieved great success. However, when used in real-world applications, e.g. sport analysis, which requires the capability of parsing an activity into phases and differentiating between subtly different actions, their performances remain far from being satisfactory. To take action recognition to a new level, we develop FineGym, a new dataset built on top of gymnastic videos. Compared to existing action recognition datasets, FineGym is distinguished in richness, quality, and diversity. In particular, it provides temporal annotations at both action and sub-action levels with a three-level semantic hierarchy. For example, a "balance beam" event will be annotated as a sequence of elementary sub-actions derived from five sets: "leap-jump-hop", "beam-turns", "flight-salto", "flight-handspring", and "dismount", where the sub-action in each set will be further annotated with finely defined class labels. This new level of granularity presents significant challenges for action recognition, e.g. how to parse the temporal structures from a coherent action, and how to distinguish between subtly different action classes. We systematically investigate representative methods on this dataset and obtain a number of interesting findings. We hope this dataset could advance research towards action understanding.
摘要:在公共基准,目前的动作识别技术已经取得了巨大的成功。然而,在实际应用中,例如使用时运动分析,这需要分析活动进入阶段和微妙的不同动作之间区分的能力,他们的表现不理想仍远。要采取措施识别到一个新的水平,我们开发FineGym,建立在体操视频上创建新的数据集。相较于现有的动作识别的数据集,FineGym在丰富性,质量和多样性区分。特别是,它提供了在与三级语义层次都动作和子动作水平的时间标注。例如,“平衡木”事件将被标注为从五套衍生小学子操作的顺序:“飞跃跳一跳”,“梁匝”,“飞行瀑布”,“飞行前手翻”和“下马”,其中在每一组中的子动作将与精细定义的类标签被进一步进行注释。这种新的粒度级别提出了动作识别,例如显著挑战如何解析时间结构来自相干作用,以及如何微妙的不同操作类之间进行区分。我们系统地研究对这个数据集代表性的方法,并获得了一些有趣的发现。我们希望此数据集可以推动对动作的理解研究。

Abstract: Visual dialog is a task of answering a sequence of questions grounded in an image utilizing a dialog history. Previous studies have implicitly explored the problem of reasoning semantic structures among the history using softmax attention. However, we argue that the softmax attention yields dense structures that could distract to answer the questions requiring partial or even no contextual information. In this paper, we formulate the visual dialog tasks as graph structure learning tasks. To tackle the problem, we propose Sparse Graph Learning Networks (SGLNs) consisting of a multimodal node embedding module and a sparse graph learning module. The proposed model explicitly learn sparse dialog structures by incorporating binary and score edges, leveraging a new structural loss function. Then, it finally outputs the answer, updating each node via a message passing framework. As a result, the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches on the VisDial v1.0 dataset, only using 10.95% of the dialog history, as well as improves interpretability compared to baseline methods.

4. A Transfer Learning approach to Heatmap Regression for Action Unit intensity estimation [PDF] 返回目录
  Ioanna Ntinou, Enrique Sanchez, Adrian Bulat, Michel Valstar, Georgios Tzimiropoulos
Abstract: Action Units (AUs) are geometrically-based atomic facial muscle movements known to produce appearance changes at specific facial locations. Motivated by this observation we propose a novel AU modelling problem that consists of jointly estimating their localisation and intensity. To this end, we propose a simple yet efficient approach based on Heatmap Regression that merges both problems into a single task. A Heatmap models whether an AU occurs or not at a given spatial location. To accommodate the joint modelling of AUs intensity, we propose variable size heatmaps, with their amplitude and size varying according to the labelled intensity. Using Heatmap Regression, we can inherit from the progress recently witnessed in facial landmark localisation. Building upon the similarities between both problems, we devise a transfer learning approach where we exploit the knowledge of a network trained on large-scale facial landmark datasets. In particular, we explore different alternatives for transfer learning through a) fine-tuning, b) adaptation layers, c) attention maps, and d) reparametrisation. Our approach effectively inherits the rich facial features produced by a strong face alignment network, with minimal extra computational cost. We empirically validate that our system sets a new state-of-the-art on three popular datasets, namely BP4D, DISFA, and FERA2017.

Abstract: When disaster strikes, accurate situational information and a fast, effective response are critical to save lives. Widely available, high resolution satellite images enable emergency responders to estimate locations, causes, and severity of damage. Quickly and accurately analyzing the extensive amount of satellite imagery available, though, requires an automatic approach. In this paper, we present Siam-U-Net-Attn model - a multi-class deep learning model with an attention mechanism - to assess damage levels of buildings given a pair of satellite images depicting a scene before and after a disaster. We evaluate the proposed method on xView2, a large-scale building damage assessment dataset, and demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves accurate damage scale classification and building segmentation results simultaneously.

6. Distilling Localization for Self-Supervised Representation Learning [PDF] 返回目录
  Nanxuan Zhao, Zhirong Wu, Rynson W.H. Lau, Stephen Lin
Abstract: For high-level visual recognition, self-supervised learning defines and makes use of proxy tasks such as colorization and visual tracking to learn a semantic representation useful for distinguishing objects. In this paper, through visualizing and diagnosing classification errors, we observe that current self-supervised models are ineffective at localizing the foreground object, limiting their ability to extract discriminative high-level features. To address this problem, we propose a data-driven approach for learning invariance to backgrounds. It first estimates foreground saliency in images and then creates augmentations by copy-and-pasting the foreground onto a variety of backgrounds. The learning follows an instance discrimination approach which encourages the features of augmentations from the same image to be similar. In this way, the representation is trained to disregard background content and focus on the foreground. We study a variety of saliency estimation methods, and find that most methods lead to improvements for self-supervised learning. With this approach, strong performance is achieved for self-supervised learning on ImageNet classification, and also for transfer learning to object detection on PASCAL VOC 2007.

  Ignacio Serna, Alejandro Peña, Aythami Morales, Julian Fierrez
Abstract: This work explores the biases in learning processes based on deep neural network architectures through a case study in gender detection from face images. We employ two gender detection models based on popular deep neural networks. We present a comprehensive analysis of bias effects when using an unbalanced training dataset on the features learned by the models. We show how ethnic attributes impact in the activations of gender detection models based on face images. We finally propose InsideBias, a novel method to detect biased models. InsideBias is based on how the models represent the information instead of how they perform, which is the normal practice in other existing methods for bias detection. Our strategy with InsideBias allows to detect biased models with very few samples (only 15 images in our case study). Our experiments include 72K face images from 24K identities and 3 ethnic groups.

8. Walk the Lines: Object Contour Tracing CNN for Contour Completion of Ships [PDF] 返回目录
  André Peter Kelm, Udo Zölzer
Abstract: We develop a new contour tracing algorithm to enhance the results of the latest object contour detectors. The goal is to achieve a perfectly closed, 1 pixel wide and detailed object contour, since this type of contour could be analyzed using methods such as Fourier descriptors. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are rarely used for contour tracing. However, we find CNNs are tailor-made for this task and that's why we present the Walk the Lines (WtL) algorithm, a standard regression CNN trained to follow object contours. To make the first step, we train the CNN only on ship contours, but the principle is also applicable to other objects. Input data are the image and the associated object contour prediction of the recently published RefineContourNet. The WtL gets a center pixel, which defines an input section and an angle for rotating this section. Ideally, the center pixel moves on the contour, while the angle describes upcoming directional contour changes. The WtL predicts its steps pixelwise in a selfrouting way. To obtain a complete object contour the WtL runs in parallel at different image locations and the traces of its individual paths are summed. In contrast to the comparable Non-Maximum Suppression method, our approach produces connected contours with finer details. Finally, the object contour is binarized under the condition of being closed. In case all procedures work as desired, excellent ship segmentations with high IoUs are produced, showing details such as antennas and ship superstructures that are easily omitted by other segmentation methods.
摘要:我们开发了一个新的轮廓跟踪算法,以增强最新目标轮廓检测的结果。的目标是实现一个完全封闭的,1个像素宽和详细对象轮廓,因为这种类型的轮廓可以使用诸如傅立叶描述符进行分析。卷积神经网络(细胞神经网络)很少用于轮廓跟踪。然而,我们发现细胞神经网络是量身定做的这个任务,那为什么我们目前的走线(WTL)算法,标准回归CNN培训,以遵循对象轮廓的。要踏出第一步,我们训练CNN只船的轮廓,但原理也适用于其他对象。输入数据是图像和最近公布RefineContourNet关联的对象轮廓预测。 WTL的获得中心像素,其限定的输入部分和用于旋转该部分的角度。理想地,在轮廓上的中心像素移动,而角度描述了即将到来的定向轮廓的变化。 WTL的预测,其步骤以selfrouting方式基于像素。为了获得在不同的图像位置的完整对象轮廓的WTL并行运行和其各个路径的痕迹相加。与此相反的可比非最大抑制方法,我们的方法产生具有更精细的细节连轮廓。最后,对象轮廓的被关闭的条件下,二值化。在所有情况下的工作程序根据需要,具有较高的白条优良船分割产生,示出的细节,例如天线和船舶上层建筑,很容易被其他的分割方法删去。

9. Improving Calibration and Out-of-Distribution Detection in Medical Image Segmentation with Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF] 返回目录
  Davood Karimi, Ali Gholipour
Abstract: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are powerful medical image segmentation models. In this study, we address some of the main unresolved issues regarding these models. Specifically, training of these models on small medical image datasets is still challenging, with many studies promoting techniques such as transfer learning. Moreover, these models are infamous for producing over-confident predictions and for failing silently when presented with out-of-distribution (OOD) data at test time. In this paper, we advocate for training on heterogeneous data, i.e., training a single model on several different datasets, spanning several different organs of interest and different imaging modalities. We show that not only a single CNN learns to automatically recognize the context and accurately segment the organ of interest in each context, but also that such a joint model often has more accurate and better-calibrated predictions than dedicated models trained separately on each dataset. We also show that training on heterogeneous data can outperform transfer learning. For detecting OOD data, we propose a method based on spectral analysis of CNN feature maps. We show that different datasets, representing different imaging modalities and/or different organs of interest, have distinct spectral signatures, which can be used to identify whether or not a test image is similar to the images used to train a model. We show that this approach is far more accurate than OOD detection based on prediction uncertainty. The methods proposed in this paper contribute significantly to improving the accuracy and reliability of CNN-based medical image segmentation models.
摘要:卷积神经网络(细胞神经网络)是强大的医学图像分割模型。在这项研究中,我们解决一些有关这些车型的主要悬而未决的问题。具体来说,在小医学图像数据这些模型的训练仍然是具有挑战性的,有很多研究促进技术,如迁移学习。此外,这些模型是臭名昭著的用于产生过分自信预测和用于当与外的分布(OOD)数据在测试时呈现默默地失效。在本文中,我们倡导培训异构数据,即,在几个不同的数据集训练的单一模式,跨越的利益和不同的成像方式几种不同的器官。我们发现,不仅是单一的CNN获悉自动识别的背景和在各方面的兴趣准确段的器官,而且这种联合模式往往具有更准确,更好地校准预测不是在每个数据集单独训练的专用机型。我们还表明对异构数据使训练能跑赢迁移学习。为了检测OOD数据,我们提出了一种基于CNN特征图的频谱分析的方法。我们表明,不同的数据集,代表不同的成像模态和/或感兴趣的不同的器官,具有不同的光谱特征,其可以被用于识别测试图像是否是类似于用于训练的模型的图像。我们表明,这种方法是远远超过基于预测的不确定性OOD检测更准确。本文提出的方法显著有助于提高基于CNN医学图像分割模型的准确性和可靠性。

10. Decentralized Differentially Private Segmentation with PATE [PDF] 返回目录
  Dominik Fay, Jens Sjölund, Tobias J. Oechtering
Abstract: When it comes to preserving privacy in medical machine learning, two important considerations are (1) keeping data local to the institution and (2) avoiding inference of sensitive information from the trained model. These are often addressed using federated learning and differential privacy, respectively. However, the commonly used Federated Averaging algorithm requires a high degree of synchronization between participating institutions. For this reason, we turn our attention to Private Aggregation of Teacher Ensembles (PATE), where all local models can be trained independently without inter-institutional communication. The purpose of this paper is thus to explore how PATE -- originally designed for classification -- can best be adapted for semantic segmentation. To this end, we build low-dimensional representations of segmentation masks which the student can obtain through low-sensitivity queries to the private aggregator. On the Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS 2019) dataset, an Autoencoder-based PATE variant achieves a higher Dice coefficient for the same privacy guarantee than prior work based on noisy Federated Averaging.
摘要:当涉及到医疗机器学习保护私密性,两个重要的考虑因素是地方从训练模型的机构和(2)的敏感信息,避免推理(1)保持数据。这些都是使用联合学习和差分隐私,分别往往解决。然而,常用的联合平均算法要求参与机构之间的高度同步。出于这个原因,我们将注意力转移到教师套装的私人聚合(PATE),其中所有的局部模型可以独立使用,不必机构间的交流培训。本文的目的,因此,探讨如何PATE - 最初设计用于分类 - 可以最好地适应语义分割。为此,我们建立分割掩码而学生可通过低灵敏度查询获得私人聚合的低维表示。在脑肿瘤分割(臭小子2019)的数据集,基于自动编码器-PATE变体实现了基于噪声的联合取平均同一的隐私保证比现有工作更高的骰子系数。

11. Deep Entwined Learning Head Pose and Face Alignment Inside an Attentional Cascade with Doubly-Conditional fusion [PDF] 返回目录
  Arnaud Dapogny, Kévin Bailly, Matthieu Cord
Abstract: Head pose estimation and face alignment constitute a backbone preprocessing for many applications relying on face analysis. While both are closely related tasks, they are generally addressed separately, e.g. by deducing the head pose from the landmark locations. In this paper, we propose to entwine face alignment and head pose tasks inside an attentional cascade. This cascade uses a geometry transfer network for integrating heterogeneous annotations to enhance landmark localization accuracy. Furthermore, we propose a doubly-conditional fusion scheme to select relevant feature maps, and regions thereof, based on a current head pose and landmark localization estimate. We empirically show the benefit of entwining head pose and landmark localization objectives inside our architecture, and that the proposed AC-DC model enhances the state-of-the-art accuracy on multiple databases for both face alignment and head pose estimation tasks.

12. Unsupervised Performance Analysis of 3D Face Alignment [PDF] 返回目录
  Mostafa Sadeghi, Sylvain Guy, Adrien Raison, Xavier Alameda-Pineda, Radu Horaud
Abstract: We address the problem of analyzing the performance of 3D face alignment (3DFA) algorithms. Traditionally, performance analysis relies on carefully annotated datasets. Here, these annotations correspond to the 3D coordinates of a set of pre-defined facial landmarks. However, this annotation process, be it manual or automatic, is rarely error-free, which strongly biases the analysis. In contrast, we propose a fully unsupervised methodology based on robust statistics and a parametric confidence test. We revisit the problem of robust estimation of the rigid transformation between two point sets and we describe two algorithms, one based on a mixture between a Gaussian and a uniform distribution, and another one based on the generalized Student's t-distribution. We show that these methods are robust to up to 50\% outliers, which makes them suitable for mapping a face, from an unknown pose to a frontal pose, in the presence of facial expressions and occlusions. Using these methods in conjunction with large datasets of face images, we build a statistical frontal facial model and an associated parametric confidence metric, eventually used for performance analysis. We empirically show that the proposed pipeline is neither method-biased nor data-biased, and that it can be used to assess both the performance of 3DFA algorithms and the accuracy of annotations of face datasets.
摘要:针对分析的三维人脸比对(3DFA)算法的性能问题。传统上,性能分析依赖于精心注释数据集。在这里,这些注解对应于一组预定义的面部界标的所述三维坐标。然而,该注释过程,无论是手动或自动的,很少是无差错,这强烈地偏压所述分析。相比之下,我们提出了基于稳健统计和参数置信度测试完全无监督的方法。我们再讲两点集之间的刚体变换的稳健估计的问题,我们描述了一种基于高斯和均匀分布,并基于广义学生T分布另一个之间的混合两种算法之一。我们表明,这些方法是鲁棒的高达50 \%异常值,这使得它们适合用于映射到面部,从一个未知的姿态到正面姿态,面部表情和遮挡的存在。与人脸图像的大型数据集一起使用这些方法,我们建立了一个统计正面脸部模型和相关参数的置信度量度,最终用于性能分析。我们凭经验表明,该管道既方法偏置也不数据偏置,并且它可以被用于评估的3DFA算法的性能和面部数据集的注释的精度。

13. Contrastive Examples for Addressing the Tyranny of the Majority [PDF] 返回目录
  Viktoriia Sharmanska, Lisa Anne Hendricks, Trevor Darrell, Novi Quadrianto
Abstract: Computer vision algorithms, e.g. for face recognition, favour groups of individuals that are better represented in the training data. This happens because of the generalization that classifiers have to make. It is simpler to fit the majority groups as this fit is more important to overall error. We propose to create a balanced training dataset, consisting of the original dataset plus new data points in which the group memberships are intervened, minorities become majorities and vice versa. We show that current generative adversarial networks are a powerful tool for learning these data points, called contrastive examples. We experiment with the equalized odds bias measure on tabular data as well as image data (CelebA and Diversity in Faces datasets). Contrastive examples allow us to expose correlations between group membership and other seemingly neutral features. Whenever a causal graph is available, we can put those contrastive examples in the perspective of counterfactuals.

  Kangning Liu, Shuhang Gu, Andres Romero, Radu Timofte
Abstract: Existing unsupervised video-to-video translation methods fail to produce translated videos which are frame-wise realistic, semantic information preserving and video-level consistent. In this work, we propose UVIT, a novel unsupervised video-to-video translation model. Our model decomposes the style and the content, uses the specialized encoder-decoder structure and propagates the inter-frame information through bidirectional recurrent neural network (RNN) units. The style-content decomposition mechanism enables us to achieve style consistent video translation results as well as provides us with a good interface for modality flexible translation. In addition, by changing the input frames and style codes incorporated in our translation, we propose a video interpolation loss, which captures temporal information within the sequence to train our building blocks in a self-supervised manner.

  Gu Wang, Fabian Manhardt, Jianzhun Shao, Xiangyang Ji, Nassir Navab, Federico Tombari
Abstract: Estimating the 6D object pose is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have recently proven to be capable of predicting reliable 6D pose estimates even from monocular images. Nonetheless, CNNs are identified as being extremely data-driven, yet, acquiring adequate annotations is oftentimes very time-consuming and labor intensive. To overcome this shortcoming, we propose the idea of monocular 6D pose estimation by means of self-supervised learning, which eradicates the need for real data with annotations. After training our proposed network fully supervised with synthetic RGB data, we leverage recent advances in neural rendering to further self-supervise the model on unannotated real RGB-D data, seeking for a visually and geometrically optimal alignment. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that our proposed self-supervision is able to significantly enhance the model's original performance, outperforming all other methods relying on synthetic data or employing elaborate techniques from the domain adaptation realm.
摘要:估算6D对象姿势是计算机视觉的一个基本问题。卷积神经网络(细胞神经网络)最近被证明是能够甚至从单眼图像预测可靠的6D姿态估计。尽管如此,细胞神经网络被标识为极其数据驱动的,但是,在获取足够的注解是常常很费时费力。为了克服这个缺点,我们通过自我监督学习,其根除与注释实际数据的需要来提出单眼6D姿态估计的想法。训练我们提出的网络合成RGB数据充分监督后,我们利用神经渲染的最新进展,以进一步自我监督上无注明真实RGB-d的数据模型,寻求视觉和几何最佳对齐。广泛的评估表明,我们提出的自我监督能显著提高模型的原有性能,优于所有其他方法依赖于合成数据或使用来自域适应境界复杂的技术。

Abstract: Extreme image or video completion, where, for instance, we only retain 1% of pixels in random locations, allows for very cheap sampling in terms of the required pre-processing. The consequence is, however, a reconstruction that is challenging for humans and inpainting algorithms alike. We propose an extension of a state-of-the-art extreme image completion algorithm to extreme video completion. We analyze a color-motion estimation approach based on color KL-divergence that is suitable for extremely sparse scenarios. Our algorithm leverages the estimate to adapt between its spatial and temporal filtering when reconstructing the sparse randomly-sampled video. We validate our results on 50 publicly-available videos using reconstruction PSNR and mean opinion scores.

17. Kinship Identification through Joint Learning Using Kinship Verification Ensemble [PDF] 返回目录
  Wei Wang, Shaodi You, Sezer Karaoglu, Theo Gevers
Abstract: While kinship verification is a well-exploited task which only identifies whether or not two people are kins, kinship identification is the task to further identify the particular type of kinships and is not well exploited yet. We found that a naive extension of kinship verification cannot solve the identification properly. This is because the existing verification networks are individually trained on specific kinships and do not consider the context between different kinship types. Also, the existing kinship verification dataset has a biased positive-negative distribution, which is different from real-world distribution. To solve it, we propose a novel kinship identification approach through the joint training of kinship verification ensembles and a Joint Identification Module. We also propose to rebalance the training dataset to make it realistic. Rigorous experiments demonstrate the superiority of performance on kinship identification task. It also demonstrates significant performance improvement of kinship verification when trained on the same unbiased data.

  Jamie Watson, Michael Firman, Aron Monszpart, Gabriel J. Brostow
Abstract: Understanding the shape of a scene from a single color image is a formidable computer vision task. However, most methods aim to predict the geometry of surfaces that are visible to the camera, which is of limited use when planning paths for robots or augmented reality agents. Such agents can only move when grounded on a traversable surface, which we define as the set of classes which humans can also walk over, such as grass, footpaths and pavement. Models which predict beyond the line of sight often parameterize the scene with voxels or meshes, which can be expensive to use in machine learning frameworks. We introduce a model to predict the geometry of both visible and occluded traversable surfaces, given a single RGB image as input. We learn from stereo video sequences, using camera poses, per-frame depth and semantic segmentation to form training data, which is used to supervise an image-to-image network. We train models from the KITTI driving dataset, the indoor Matterport dataset, and from our own casually captured stereo footage. We find that a surprisingly low bar for spatial coverage of training scenes is required. We validate our algorithm against a range of strong baselines, and include an assessment of our predictions for a path-planning task.

Abstract: We propose a fast approximate solver for the combinatorial problem known as tracking-by-assignment, which we apply to cell tracking. The latter plays a key role in discovery in many life sciences, especially in cell and developmental biology. So far, in the most general setting this problem was addressed by off-the-shelf solvers like Gurobi, whose run time and memory requirements rapidly grow with the size of the input. In contrast, for our method this growth is nearly linear. Our contribution consists of a new (1) decomposable compact representation of the problem; (2) dual block-coordinate ascent method for optimizing the decomposition-based dual; and (3) primal heuristics that reconstructs a feasible integer solution based on the dual information. Compared to solving the problem with Gurobi, we observe an up to~60~times speed-up, while reducing the memory footprint significantly. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method on real-world tracking problems.

20. Exact MAP-Inference by Confining Combinatorial Search with LP Relaxation [PDF] 返回目录
  Stefan Haller, Paul Swoboda, Bogdan Savchynskyy
Abstract: We consider the MAP-inference problem for graphical models, which is a valued constraint satisfaction problem defined on real numbers with a natural summation operation. We propose a family of relaxations (different from the famous Sherali-Adams hierarchy), which naturally define lower bounds for its optimum. This family always contains a tight relaxation and we give an algorithm able to find it and therefore, solve the initial non-relaxed NP-hard problem. The relaxations we consider decompose the original problem into two non-overlapping parts: an easy LP-tight part and a difficult one. For the latter part a combinatorial solver must be used. As we show in our experiments, in a number of applications the second, difficult part constitutes only a small fraction of the whole problem. This property allows to significantly reduce the computational time of the combinatorial solver and therefore solve problems which were out of reach before.

21. Simple Multi-Resolution Representation Learning for Human Pose Estimation [PDF] 返回目录
  Trung Q. Tran, Giang V. Nguyen, Daeyoung Kim
Abstract: Human pose estimation - the process of recognizing human keypoints in a given image - is one of the most important tasks in computer vision and has a wide range of applications including movement diagnostics, surveillance, or self-driving vehicle. The accuracy of human keypoint prediction is increasingly improved thanks to the burgeoning development of deep learning. Most existing methods solved human pose estimation by generating heatmaps in which the ith heatmap indicates the location confidence of the ith keypoint. In this paper, we introduce novel network structures referred to as multiresolution representation learning for human keypoint prediction. At different resolutions in the learning process, our networks branch off and use extra layers to learn heatmap generation. We firstly consider the architectures for generating the multiresolution heatmaps after obtaining the lowest-resolution feature maps. Our second approach allows learning during the process of feature extraction in which the heatmaps are generated at each resolution of the feature extractor. The first and second approaches are referred to as multi-resolution heatmap learning and multi-resolution feature map learning respectively. Our architectures are simple yet effective, achieving good performance. We conducted experiments on two common benchmarks for human pose estimation: MS-COCO and MPII dataset.

Abstract: A General Underwater Object Detector (GUOD) should perform well on most of underwater circumstances. However, with limited underwater dataset, conventional object detection methods suffer from domain shift severely. This paper aims to build a GUOD with small underwater dataset with limited types of water quality. First, we propose a data augmentation method Water Quality Transfer (WQT) to increase domain diversity of the original small dataset. Second, for mining the semantic information from data generated by WQT, DG-YOLO is proposed, which consists of three parts: YOLOv3, DIM and IRM penalty. Finally, experiments on original and synthetic URPC2019 dataset prove that WQT+DG-YOLO achieves promising performance of domain generalization in underwater object detection.

24. VehicleNet: Learning Robust Visual Representation for Vehicle Re-identification [PDF] 返回目录
  Zhedong Zheng, Tao Ruan, Yunchao Wei, Yi Yang, Tao Mei
Abstract: One fundamental challenge of vehicle re-identification (re-id) is to learn robust and discriminative visual representation, given the significant intra-class vehicle variations across different camera views. As the existing vehicle datasets are limited in terms of training images and viewpoints, we propose to build a unique large-scale vehicle dataset (called VehicleNet) by harnessing four public vehicle datasets, and design a simple yet effective two-stage progressive approach to learning more robust visual representation from VehicleNet. The first stage of our approach is to learn the generic representation for all domains (i.e., source vehicle datasets) by training with the conventional classification loss. This stage relaxes the full alignment between the training and testing domains, as it is agnostic to the target vehicle domain. The second stage is to fine-tune the trained model purely based on the target vehicle set, by minimizing the distribution discrepancy between our VehicleNet and any target domain. We discuss our proposed multi-source dataset VehicleNet and evaluate the effectiveness of the two-stage progressive representation learning through extensive experiments. We achieve the state-of-art accuracy of 86.07% mAP on the private test set of AICity Challenge, and competitive results on two other public vehicle re-id datasets, i.e., VeRi-776 and VehicleID. We hope this new VehicleNet dataset and the learned robust representations can pave the way for vehicle re-id in the real-world environments.

  Mateusz Michalkiewicz, Sarah Parisot, Stavros Tsogkas, Mahsa Baktashmotlagh, Anders Eriksson, Eugene Belilovsky
Abstract: The impressive performance of deep convolutional neural networks in single-view 3D reconstruction suggests that these models perform non-trivial reasoning about the 3D structure of the output space. However, recent work has challenged this belief, showing that complex encoder-decoder architectures perform similarly to nearest-neighbor baselines or simple linear decoder models that exploit large amounts of per category data in standard benchmarks. On the other hand settings where 3D shape must be inferred for new categories with few examples are more natural and require models that generalize about shapes. In this work we demonstrate experimentally that naive baselines do not apply when the goal is to learn to reconstruct novel objects using very few examples, and that in a \emph{few-shot} learning setting, the network must learn concepts that can be applied to new categories, avoiding rote memorization. To address deficiencies in existing approaches to this problem, we propose three approaches that efficiently integrate a class prior into a 3D reconstruction model, allowing to account for intra-class variability and imposing an implicit compositional structure that the model should learn. Experiments on the popular ShapeNet database demonstrate that our method significantly outperform existing baselines on this task in the few-shot setting.

  Thao Do, Yalew Tolcha, Tae Joon Jun, Daeyoung Kim
Abstract: Barcodes are ubiquitous and have been used in most of critical daily activities for decades. However, most of traditional decoders require well-founded barcode under a relatively standard condition. While wilder conditioned barcodes such as underexposed, occluded, blurry, wrinkled and rotated are commonly captured in reality, those traditional decoders show weakness of recognizing. Several works attempted to solve those challenging barcodes, but many limitations still exist. This work aims to solve the decoding problem using deep convolutional neural network with the possibility of running on portable devices. Firstly, we proposed a special modification of inference based on the feature of having checksum and test-time augmentation, named as Smart Inference (SI) in prediction phase of a trained model. SI considerably boosts accuracy and reduces the false prediction for trained models. Secondly, we have created a large practical evaluation dataset of real captured 1D barcode under various challenging conditions to test our methods vigorously, which is publicly available for other researchers. The experiments' results demonstrated the SI effectiveness with the highest accuracy of 95.85% which outperformed many existing decoders on the evaluation set. Finally, we successfully minimized the best model by knowledge distillation to a shallow model which is shown to have high accuracy (90.85%) with good inference speed of 34.2 ms per image on a real edge device.

  Yangxin Wu, Gengwei Zhang, Yiming Gao, Xiajun Deng, Ke Gong, Xiaodan Liang, Liang Lin
Abstract: Recent researches on panoptic segmentation resort to a single end-to-end network to combine the tasks of instance segmentation and semantic segmentation. However, prior models only unified the two related tasks at the architectural level via a multi-branch scheme or revealed the underlying correlation between them by unidirectional feature fusion, which disregards the explicit semantic and co-occurrence relations among objects and background. Inspired by the fact that context information is critical to recognize and localize the objects, and inclusive object details are significant to parse the background scene, we thus investigate on explicitly modeling the correlations between object and background to achieve a holistic understanding of an image in the panoptic segmentation task. We introduce a Bidirectional Graph Reasoning Network (BGRNet), which incorporates graph structure into the conventional panoptic segmentation network to mine the intra-modular and intermodular relations within and between foreground things and background stuff classes. In particular, BGRNet first constructs image-specific graphs in both instance and semantic segmentation branches that enable flexible reasoning at the proposal level and class level, respectively. To establish the correlations between separate branches and fully leverage the complementary relations between things and stuff, we propose a Bidirectional Graph Connection Module to diffuse information across branches in a learnable fashion. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our BGRNet that achieves the new state-of-the-art performance on challenging COCO and ADE20K panoptic segmentation benchmarks.

Abstract: In recent years, the research community has approached the problem of vehicle re-identification (re-id) with attention-based models, specifically focusing on regions of a vehicle containing discriminative information. These re-id methods rely on expensive key-point labels, part annotations, and additional attributes including vehicle make, model, and color. Given the large number of vehicle re-id datasets with various levels of annotations, strongly-supervised methods are unable to scale across different domains. In this paper, we present Self-supervised Attention for Vehicle Re-identification (SAVER), a novel approach to effectively learn vehicle-specific discriminative features. Through extensive experimentation, we show that SAVER improves upon the state-of-the-art on challenging vehicle re-id benchmarks including Veri-776, VehicleID, Vehicle-1M and Veri-Wild. SAVER demonstrates how proper regularization techniques significantly constrain the vehicle re-id task and help generate robust deep features.

  Mertalp Ocal, Armin Mustafa
Abstract: We present a generalised self-supervised learning approach for monocular estimation of the real depth across scenes with diverse depth ranges from 1--100s of meters. Existing supervised methods for monocular depth estimation require accurate depth measurements for training. This limitation has led to the introduction of self-supervised methods that are trained on stereo image pairs with a fixed camera baseline to estimate disparity which is transformed to depth given known calibration. Self-supervised approaches have demonstrated impressive results but do not generalise to scenes with different depth ranges or camera baselines. In this paper, we introduce RealMonoDepth a self-supervised monocular depth estimation approach which learns to estimate the real scene depth for a diverse range of indoor and outdoor scenes. A novel loss function with respect to the true scene depth based on relative depth scaling and warping is proposed. This allows self-supervised training of a single network with multiple data sets for scenes with diverse depth ranges from both stereo pair and in the wild moving camera data sets. A comprehensive performance evaluation across five benchmark data sets demonstrates that RealMonoDepth provides a single trained network which generalises depth estimation across indoor and outdoor scenes, consistently outperforming previous self-supervised approaches.
摘要:我们提出了整个场景真正深入与1--100s米不同深度范围的单眼估计的广义自监督学习方法。单眼深度估计现有的监督方法需要进行培训准确的深度测量。这一限制已经导致引入的自监督方法被上立体图像对训练用固定摄像机基线估计哪些被转换为给定的已知的校准深度视差。自我监督的方法已经证明了不俗的业绩,但不推广到不同的深度范围或相机基线场景。在本文中,我们介绍了RealMonoDepth自我监督的单眼深度估计的做法,学会估计真实场景的深度不同范围的室内和室外场景。相对于基于相对深度比例和翘曲的真实场景深度的新型损失函数提出。这允许多个数据集与来自两个立体对和在野外移动相机数据集不同的深度范围的场景的单个网络的自监督训练。在五个基准数据集的综合性能评价表明,RealMonoDepth提供一个训练有素的网络,它可以推广深度估计整个室内和室外场景,持续超越以前的自我监督的方法。

  Hanyue Tu, Chunyu Wang, Wenjun Zeng
Abstract: We present an approach to estimate 3D poses of multiple people from multiple camera views. In contrast to the previous efforts which require to establish cross-view correspondence based on noisy and incomplete 2D pose estimations, we present an end-to-end solution which directly operates in the $3$D space, therefore avoids making incorrect decisions in the 2D space. To achieve this goal, the features in all camera views are warped and aggregated in a common 3D space, and fed into Cuboid Proposal Network (CPN) to coarsely localize all people. Then we propose Pose Regression Network (PRN) to estimate a detailed 3D pose for each proposal. The approach is robust to occlusion which occurs frequently in practice. Without bells and whistles, it outperforms the state-of-the-arts on the public datasets. Code will be released at this https URL.

Abstract: As handwriting input becomes more prevalent, the large symbol inventory required to support Chinese handwriting recognition poses unique challenges. This paper describes how the Apple deep learning recognition system can accurately handle up to 30,000 Chinese characters while running in real-time across a range of mobile devices. To achieve acceptable accuracy, we paid particular attention to data collection conditions, representativeness of writing styles, and training regimen. We found that, with proper care, even larger inventories are within reach. Our experiments show that accuracy only degrades slowly as the inventory increases, as long as we use training data of sufficient quality and in sufficient quantity.

Abstract: The identification of objects in an image, together with their mutual relationships, can lead to a deep understanding of image content. Despite all the recent advances in deep learning, in particular, the detection and labeling of visual object relationships remain a challenging task. In this work, we present the Relation Transformer Network, which is a customized transformer-based architecture that models complex object to object and edge to object interactions, by taking into account global context. Our hierarchical multi-head attention-based approach efficiently models and predicts dependencies between objects and their contextual relationships. In comparison to another state of the art approaches, we achieve an absolute mean 3.72% improvement in performance on the Visual Genome dataset.

34. Event detection in coarsely annotated sports videos via parallel multi receptive field 1D convolutions [PDF] 返回目录
  Kanav Vats, Mehrnaz Fani, Pascale Walters, David A. Clausi, John Zelek
Abstract: In problems such as sports video analytics, it is difficult to obtain accurate frame level annotations and exact event duration because of the lengthy videos and sheer volume of video data. This issue is even more pronounced in fast-paced sports such as ice hockey. Obtaining annotations on a coarse scale can be much more practical and time efficient. We propose the task of event detection in coarsely annotated videos. We introduce a multi-tower temporal convolutional network architecture for the proposed task. The network, with the help of multiple receptive fields, processes information at various temporal scales to account for the uncertainty with regard to the exact event location and duration. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the multi-receptive field architecture through appropriate ablation studies. The method is evaluated on two tasks - event detection in coarsely annotated hockey videos in the NHL dataset and event spotting in soccer on the SoccerNet dataset. The two datasets lack frame-level annotations and have very distinct event frequencies. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the network by obtaining a 55% average F1 score on the NHL dataset and by achieving competitive performance compared to the state of the art on the SoccerNet dataset. We believe our approach will help develop more practical pipelines for event detection in sports video.

Abstract: Large-scale pre-training methods of learning cross-modal representations on image-text pairs are becoming popular for vision-language tasks. While existing methods simply concatenate image region features and text features as input to the model to be pre-trained and use self-attention to learn image-text semantic alignments in a brute force manner, in this paper, we propose a new learning method Oscar (Object-Semantics Aligned Pre-training), which uses object tags detected in images as anchor points to significantly ease the learning of alignments. Our method is motivated by the observation that the salient objects in an image can be accurately detected, and are often mentioned in the paired text. We pre-train an Oscar model on the public corpus of 6.5 million text-image pairs, and fine-tune it to downstream tasks, creating new state-of-the-arts on six well-established vision-language understanding and generation tasks.

  Enkhtogtokh Togootogtokh, Christian Micheloni, Gian Luca Foresti, Niki Martinel
Abstract: Modern Unmanned Aerial Vehicles equipped with state of the art artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are opening to a wide plethora of novel and interesting applications. While this field received a strong impact from the recent AI breakthroughs, most of the provided solutions either entirely rely on commercial software or provide a weak integration interface which denies the development of additional techniques. This leads us to propose a novel and efficient framework for the UAV-AI joint technology. Intelligent UAV systems encounter complex challenges to be tackled without human control. One of these complex challenges is to be able to carry out computer vision tasks in real-time use cases. In this paper we focus on this challenge and introduce a multi-layer AI (MLAI) framework to allow easy integration of ad-hoc visual-based AI applications. To show its features and its advantages, we implemented and evaluated different modern visual-based deep learning models for object detection, target tracking and target handover.

Abstract: We wish to automatically predict the "speediness" of moving objects in videos---whether they move faster, at, or slower than their "natural" speed. The core component in our approach is SpeedNet---a novel deep network trained to detect if a video is playing at normal rate, or if it is sped up. SpeedNet is trained on a large corpus of natural videos in a self-supervised manner, without requiring any manual annotations. We show how this single, binary classification network can be used to detect arbitrary rates of speediness of objects. We demonstrate prediction results by SpeedNet on a wide range of videos containing complex natural motions, and examine the visual cues it utilizes for making those predictions. Importantly, we show that through predicting the speed of videos, the model learns a powerful and meaningful space-time representation that goes beyond simple motion cues. We demonstrate how those learned features can boost the performance of self-supervised action recognition, and can be used for video retrieval. Furthermore, we also apply SpeedNet for generating time-varying, adaptive video speedups, which can allow viewers to watch videos faster, but with less of the jittery, unnatural motions typical to videos that are sped up uniformly.

Abstract: An outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease (i.e., COVID-19) has been recorded in Wuhan, China since late December 2019, which subsequently became pandemic around the world. Although COVID-19 is an acutely treated disease, it can also be fatal with a risk of fatality of 4.03% in China and the highest of 13.04% in Algeria and 12.67% Italy (as of 8th April 2020). The onset of serious illness may result in death as a consequence of substantial alveolar damage and progressive respiratory failure. Although laboratory testing, e.g., using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), is the golden standard for clinical diagnosis, the tests may produce false negatives. Moreover, under the pandemic situation, shortage of RT-PCR testing resources may also delay the following clinical decision and treatment. Under such circumstances, chest CT imaging has become a valuable tool for both diagnosis and prognosis of COVID-19 patients. In this study, we propose a weakly supervised deep learning strategy for detecting and classifying COVID-19 infection from CT images. The proposed method can minimise the requirements of manual labelling of CT images but still be able to obtain accurate infection detection and distinguish COVID-19 from non-COVID-19 cases. Based on the promising results obtained qualitatively and quantitatively, we can envisage a wide deployment of our developed technique in large-scale clinical studies.

  Anuroop Sriram, Jure Zbontar, Tullie Murrell, Aaron Defazio, C. Lawrence Zitnick, Nafissa Yakubova, Florian Knoll, Patricia Johnson
Abstract: The slow acquisition speed of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has led to the development of two complementary methods: acquiring multiple views of the anatomy simultaneously (parallel imaging) and acquiring fewer samples than necessary for traditional signal processing methods (compressed sensing). While the combination of these methods has the potential to allow much faster scan times, reconstruction from such undersampled multi-coil data has remained an open problem. In this paper, we present a new approach to this problem that extends previously proposed variational methods by learning fully end-to-end. Our method obtains new state-of-the-art results on the fastMRI dataset for both brain and knee MRIs.

Abstract: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has led a devastating effect on the global public health. Computed Tomography (CT) is an effective tool in the screening of COVID-19. It is of great importance to rapidly and accurately segment COVID-19 from CT to help diagnostic and patient monitoring. In this paper, we propose a U-Net based segmentation network using attention mechanism. As not all the features extracted from the encoders are useful for segmentation, we propose to incorporate an attention mechanism to a U-Net architecture to capture rich contextual relationships for better feature representations. In addition, the focal tversky loss is introduced to deal with small lesion segmentation. The experiment results, evaluated on a small dataset where only 100 CT slices are available, demonstrate the proposed method can achieve an accurate and rapid segmentation on COVID-19 segmentation. The obtained Dice Score, Sensitivity and Specificity are 69.1%, 81.1%, and 97.2%, respectively.

Abstract: Pneumonia is a life-threatening disease, which occurs in the lungs caused by either bacterial or viral infection. It can be life-endangering if not acted upon in the right time and thus an early diagnosis of pneumonia is vital. The aim of this paper is to automatically detect bacterial and viral pneumonia using digital x-ray images. It provides a detailed report on advances made in making accurate detection of pneumonia and then presents the methodology adopted by the authors. Four different pre-trained deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)- AlexNet, ResNet18, DenseNet201, and SqueezeNet were used for transfer learning. 5247 Bacterial, viral and normal chest x-rays images underwent preprocessing techniques and the modified images were trained for the transfer learning based classification task. In this work, the authors have reported three schemes of classifications: normal vs pneumonia, bacterial vs viral pneumonia and normal, bacterial and viral pneumonia. The classification accuracy of normal and pneumonia images, bacterial and viral pneumonia images, and normal, bacterial and viral pneumonia were 98%, 95%, and 93.3% respectively. This is the highest accuracy in any scheme than the accuracies reported in the literature. Therefore, the proposed study can be useful in faster-diagnosing pneumonia by the radiologist and can help in the fast airport screening of pneumonia patients.

  Abhik Ghosh, Rita SahaRay, Sayan Chakrabarty, Sayan Bhadra
Abstract: Quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) is a widely used statistical tool to classify observations from different multivariate Normal populations. The generalized quadratic discriminant analysis (GQDA) classification rule/classifier, which generalizes the QDA and the minimum Mahalanobis distance (MMD) classifiers to discriminate between populations with underlying elliptically symmetric distributions competes quite favorably with the QDA classifier when it is optimal and performs much better when QDA fails under non-Normal underlying distributions, e.g. Cauchy distribution. However, the classification rule in GQDA is based on the sample mean vector and the sample dispersion matrix of a training sample, which are extremely non-robust under data contamination. In real world, since it is quite common to face data highly vulnerable to outliers, the lack of robustness of the classical estimators of the mean vector and the dispersion matrix reduces the efficiency of the GQDA classifier significantly, increasing the misclassification errors. The present paper investigates the performance of the GQDA classifier when the classical estimators of the mean vector and the dispersion matrix used therein are replaced by various robust counterparts. Applications to various real data sets as well as simulation studies reveal far better performance of the proposed robust versions of the GQDA classifier. A Comparative study has been made to advocate the appropriate choice of the robust estimators to be used in a specific situation of the degree of contamination of the data sets.

Abstract: Application of deep learning in digital pathology shows promise on improving disease diagnosis and understanding. We present a deep generative model that learns to simulate high-fidelity cancer tissue images while mapping the real images onto an interpretable low dimensional latent space. The key to the model is an encoder trained by a previously developed generative adversarial network, PathologyGAN. We study the latent space using 249K images from two breast cancer cohorts. We find that the latent space encodes morphological characteristics of tissues (e.g. patterns of cancer, lymphocytes, and stromal cells). In addition, the latent space reveals distinctly enriched clusters of tissue architectures in the high-risk patient group.

Abstract: Within the remote sensing domain, a diverse set of acquisition modalities exist, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Yet, most of the current literature and open datasets only deal with electro-optical (optical) data for different detection and segmentation tasks at high spatial resolutions. optical data is often the preferred choice for geospatial applications, but requires clear skies and little cloud cover to work well. Conversely, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors have the unique capability to penetrate clouds and collect during all weather, day and night conditions. Consequently, SAR data are particularly valuable in the quest to aid disaster response, when weather and cloud cover can obstruct traditional optical sensors. Despite all of these advantages, there is little open data available to researchers to explore the effectiveness of SAR for such applications, particularly at very-high spatial resolutions, i.e. <1m 120 ground sample distance (gsd). to address this problem, we present an open multi-sensor all weather mapping (msaw) dataset and challenge, which features two collection modalities (both sar optical). the challenge focus on building footprint extraction using a combination of these data sources. msaw covers km^2 over multiple overlapping collects is annotated with 48,000 unique footprints labels, enabling creation evaluation algorithms for multi-modal data. baseline benchmark find that state-of-the-art segmentation models pre-trained optical data, then trained (f1 score 0.21) outperform those alone 0.135). < font>

  Onur Tasar, Yuliya Tarabalka, Alain Giros, Pierre Alliez, Sébastien Clerc
Abstract: Domain adaptation for semantic segmentation has recently been actively studied to increase the generalization capabilities of deep learning models. The vast majority of the domain adaptation methods tackle single-source case, where the model trained on a single source domain is adapted to a target domain. However, these methods have limited practical real world applications, since usually one has multiple source domains with different data distributions. In this work, we deal with the multi-source domain adaptation problem. Our method, namely StandardGAN, standardizes each source and target domains so that all the data have similar data distributions. We then use the standardized source domains to train a classifier and segment the standardized target domain. We conduct extensive experiments on two remote sensing data sets, in which the first one consists of multiple cities from a single country, and the other one contains multiple cities from different countries. Our experimental results show that the standardized data generated by StandardGAN allow the classifiers to generate significantly better segmentation.

  Kensuke Nakamura, Stefano Soatto, Byung-Woo Hong
Abstract: We propose a first-order stochastic optimization algorithm incorporating adaptive regularization applicable to machine learning problems in deep learning framework. The adaptive regularization is imposed by stochastic process in determining batch size for each model parameter at each optimization iteration. The stochastic batch size is determined by the update probability of each parameter following a distribution of gradient norms in consideration of their local and global properties in the neural network architecture where the range of gradient norms may vary within and across layers. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm using an image classification task based on conventional network models applied to commonly used benchmark datasets. The quantitative evaluation indicates that our algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art optimization algorithms in generalization while providing less sensitivity to the selection of batch size which often plays a critical role in optimization, thus achieving more robustness to the selection of regularity.

Diabetic Retinopathy is a subtle eye disease that can cause sudden, irreversible vision loss. The early-stage Diabetic Retinopathy diagnosis can be challenging for human experts, considering the visual complexity of fundus photography retinal images. However, Early Stage detection of Diabetic Retinopathy can significantly alter the severe vision loss problem. The competence of computer-aided detection systems to accurately detect the Diabetic Retinopathy had popularized them among researchers. In this study, we have utilized a pre-trained DenseNet121 network with several modifications and trained on APTOS 2019 dataset. The proposed method outperformed other state-of-the-art networks in early-stage detection and achieved 96.51% accuracy in severity grading of Diabetic Retinopathy for multi-label classification and achieved 94.44% accuracy for single-class classification method. Moreover, the precision, recall, f1-score, and quadratic weighted kappa for our network was reported as 86%, 87%, 86%, and 91.96%, respectively. Our proposed architecture is simultaneously very simple, accurate, and efficient concerning computational time and space.

Abstract: Due to the large combinatorial problem, current beam orientation optimization algorithms for radiotherapy, such as column generation (CG), are typically heuristic or greedy in nature, leading to suboptimal solutions. We propose a reinforcement learning strategy using Monte Carlo Tree Search capable of finding a superior beam orientation set and in less time than CG.We utilized a reinforcement learning structure involving a supervised learning network to guide Monte Carlo tree search (GTS) to explore the decision space of beam orientation selection problem. We have previously trained a deep neural network (DNN) that takes in the patient anatomy, organ weights, and current beams, and then approximates beam fitness values, indicating the next best beam to add. This DNN is used to probabilistically guide the traversal of the branches of the Monte Carlo decision tree to add a new beam to the plan. To test the feasibility of the algorithm, we solved for 5-beam plans, using 13 test prostate cancer patients, different from the 57 training and validation patients originally trained the DNN. To show the strength of GTS to other search methods, performances of three other search methods including a guided search, uniform tree search and random search algorithms are also provided. On average GTS outperforms all other methods, it find a solution better than CG in 237 seconds on average, compared to CG which takes 360 seconds, and outperforms all other methods in finding a solution with lower objective function value in less than 1000 seconds. Using our guided tree search (GTS) method we were able to maintain a similar planning target volume (PTV) coverage within 1% error, and reduce the organ at risk (OAR) mean dose for body, rectum, left and right femoral heads, but a slight increase of 1% in bladder mean dose.

Abstract: Fashion is a complex social phenomenon. People follow fashion styles from demonstrations by experts or fashion icons. However, for machine agent, learning to imitate fashion experts from demonstrations can be challenging, especially for complex styles in environments with high-dimensional, multimodal observations. Most existing research regarding fashion outfit composition utilizes supervised learning methods to mimic the behaviors of style icons. These methods suffer from distribution shift: because the agent greedily imitates some given outfit demonstrations, it can drift away from one style to another styles given subtle differences. In this work, we propose an adversarial inverse reinforcement learning formulation to recover reward functions based on hierarchical multimodal representation (HM-AIRL) during the imitation process. The hierarchical joint representation can more comprehensively model the expert composited outfit demonstrations to recover the reward function. We demonstrate that the proposed HM-AIRL model is able to recover reward functions that are robust to changes in multimodal observations, enabling us to learn policies under significant variation between different styles.

51. Blind Quality Assessment for Image Superresolution Using Deep Two-Stream Convolutional Networks [PDF] 返回目录

Abstract: Numerous image superresolution (SR) algorithms have been proposed for reconstructing high-resolution (HR) images from input images with lower spatial resolutions. However, effectively evaluating the perceptual quality of SR images remains a challenging research problem. In this paper, we propose a no-reference/blind deep neural network-based SR image quality assessor (DeepSRQ). To learn more discriminative feature representations of various distorted SR images, the proposed DeepSRQ is a two-stream convolutional network including two subcomponents for distorted structure and texture SR images. Different from traditional image distortions, the artifacts of SR images cause both image structure and texture quality degradation. Therefore, we choose the two-stream scheme that captures different properties of SR inputs instead of directly learning features from one image stream. Considering the human visual system (HVS) characteristics, the structure stream focuses on extracting features in structural degradations, while the texture stream focuses on the change in textural distributions. In addition, to augment the training data and ensure the category balance, we propose a stride-based adaptive cropping approach for further improvement. Experimental results on three publicly available SR image quality databases demonstrate the effectiveness and generalization ability of our proposed DeepSRQ method compared with state-of-the-art image quality assessment algorithms.
摘要:众多图像超分辨率(SR)的算法已被提出用于从输入图像重建高分辨率(HR)图像与空间分辨率低。然而,有效地评估SR图像的感知质量仍然是一个具有挑战性的研究课题。在本文中,我们提出了一个无参考/盲深基于神经网络的SR图像质量评估(DeepSRQ)。要了解各种扭曲的SR图像更有辨别力的特征表示,建议DeepSRQ是两流卷积网络,包括两个子对结构扭曲和纹理SR图像。从传统的图像失真不同,SR图像的伪影导致两个图像结构和纹理质量劣化。因此,我们选择了两个流方案,它捕获的SR输入不同的属性,而不是从一个图像流直接学习功能。考虑到人类视觉系统(HVS)的特性,结构流集中在提取结构劣化的特点,而纹理流对焦在质地分布的变化。此外,为了增加训练数据,并确保该类别的平衡,我们提出了进一步改进的基于步幅自适应裁剪方法。三个公开可用的SR图像质量数据库的实验结果表明,有效性和与国家的最先进的图像质量评价算法相比我们提出的DeepSRQ方法的推广能力。
