Abstract: We introduce the modular and scalable design of Kartta Labs, an open source, open data, and scalable system for virtually reconstructing cities from historical maps and photos. Kartta Labs relies on crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence consisting of two major modules: Maps and 3D models. Each module, in turn, consists of sub-modules that enable the system to reconstruct a city from historical maps and photos. The result is a spatiotemporal reference that can be used to integrate various collected data (curated, sensed, or crowdsourced) for research, education, and entertainment purposes. The system empowers the users to experience collaborative time travel such that they work together to reconstruct the past and experience it on an open source and open data platform.

Abstract: The collection of high-resolution training data is crucial in building robust plant disease diagnosis systems, since such data have a significant impact on diagnostic performance. However, they are very difficult to obtain and are not always available in practice. Deep learning-based techniques, and particularly generative adversarial networks (GANs), can be applied to generate high-quality super-resolution images, but these methods often produce unexpected artifacts that can lower the diagnostic performance. In this paper, we propose a novel artifact-suppression super-resolution method that is specifically designed for diagnosing leaf disease, called Leaf Artifact-Suppression Super Resolution (LASSR). Thanks to its own artifact removal module that detects and suppresses artifacts to a considerable extent, LASSR can generate much more pleasing, high-quality images compared to the state-of-the-art ESRGAN model. Experiments based on a five-class cucumber disease (including healthy) discrimination model show that training with data generated by LASSR significantly boosts the performance on an unseen test dataset by nearly 22% compared with the baseline, and that our approach is more than 2% better than a model trained with images generated by ESRGAN.

Abstract: Satellite imagery is important for many applications including disaster response, law enforcement, and environmental monitoring. These applications require the manual identification of objects and facilities in the imagery. Because the geographic expanses to be covered are great and the analysts available to conduct the searches are few, automation is required. Yet traditional object detection and classification algorithms are too inaccurate and unreliable to solve the problem. Deep learning is a family of machine learning algorithms that have shown promise for the automation of such tasks. It has achieved success in image understanding by means of convolutional neural networks. In this paper we apply them to the problem of object and facility recognition in high-resolution, multi-spectral satellite imagery. We describe a deep learning system for classifying objects and facilities from the IARPA Functional Map of the World (fMoW) dataset into 63 different classes. The system consists of an ensemble of convolutional neural networks and additional neural networks that integrate satellite metadata with image features. It is implemented in Python using the Keras and TensorFlow deep learning libraries and runs on a Linux server with an NVIDIA Titan X graphics card. At the time of writing the system is in 2nd place in the fMoW TopCoder competition. Its total accuracy is 83%, the F1 score is 0.797, and it classifies 15 of the classes with accuracies of 95% or better.
摘要:卫星图像是许多应用,包括救灾,执法和环境监测非常重要。这些应用需要在图像对象和设施的人工识别。由于地域辽阔被覆盖是巨大的,可用于进行搜索的分析师很少,需要具有自动化。然而,传统的目标检测和分类算法太不准确和不可靠的解决问题。深度学习是已经显示了这样的任务自动化诺机器学习算法,一个家庭。它由卷积神经网络来实现图像理解成功。在本文中,我们将它们应用到物体和设备识别的高分辨率,多光谱卫星图像的问题。我们描述了从世界(fMoW)数据集的IARPA功能图,公用设施分成63个不同类别的深刻学习系统。该系统由与图像特征整合卫星元数据卷积神经网络的和额外的神经网络的集合的。它使用的是Linux服务器与NVIDIA泰坦X显卡的Keras和TensorFlow深度学习库和运行用Python实现。在编写了系统的时间是在fMoW的TopCoder竞赛第二名。它的总精度是83%时,F1分数是0.797,并将其与95%或更好的精度进行分类的类15。

Abstract: Noisy data, crawled from the web or supplied by volunteers such as Mechanical Turkers or citizen scientists, is considered an alternative to professionally labeled data. There has been research focused on mitigating the effects of label noise. It is typically modeled as inaccuracy, where the correct label is replaced by an incorrect label from the same set. We consider an additional dimension of label noise: imprecision. For example, a non-breeding snow bunting is labeled as a bird. This label is correct, but not as precise as the task requires. Standard softmax classifiers cannot learn from such a weak label because they consider all classes mutually exclusive, which non-breeding snow bunting and bird are not. We propose CHILLAX (Class Hierarchies for Imprecise Label Learning and Annotation eXtrapolation), a method based on hierarchical classification, to fully utilize labels of any precision. Experiments on noisy variants of NABirds and ILSVRC2012 show that our method outperforms strong baselines by as much as 16.4 percentage points, and the current state of the art by up to 3.9 percentage points.
摘要:噪声数据,从网络检索或由志愿者如机械零工或公民科学家供给,被认为是专业标记数据的替代方法。已经有研究侧重于减轻标签的噪声影响。它通常建模为不准确,在正确的标签是由同一组不正确的标签取代。我们认为标签噪音的额外维度:不精确。例如,非繁殖雪鹀被标记为一只鸟。该标签是正确的,但不那么精确的任务要求。因为他们认为相互排斥的所有类,其中非繁殖雪鹀和鸟类都没有标准SOFTMAX分类不能从这样的弱标签学习。我们建议CHILLAX(类层次结构不精确标记学习和注释外推),基于分层分类的方法,充分利用的任意精度的标签。在NABirds的喧闹变种和ILSVRC2012的实验表明我们的方法优于强基线幅度高达16.4个百分点,达3.9个百分点领域的当前状态。

Abstract: With the large uses of the intelligent systems in different domains, and in order to increase the drivers and pedestrians safety, the road and traffic sign recognition system has been a challenging issue and an important task for many years. But studies, done in this field of detection and recognition of traffic signs in an image, which are interested in the Arab context, are still insufficient. Detection of the road signs present in the scene is the one of the main stages of the traffic sign detection and recognition. In this paper, an efficient solution to enhance road signs detection, including Arabic context, performance based on color segmentation, Randomized Hough Transform and the combination of Zernike moments and Haralick features has been made. Segmentation stage is useful to determine the Region of Interest (ROI) in the image. The Randomized Hough Transform (RHT) is used to detect the circular and octagonal shapes. This stage is improved by the extraction of the Haralick features and Zernike moments. Furthermore, we use it as input of a classifier based on SVM. Experimental results show that the proposed approach allows us to perform the measurements precision.

Abstract: Human pose estimation (HPE) in 3D is an active research field that have many applications in entertainment, health and sport science, robotics. In the last five years markerless motion captures techniques have seen their average error decrease from more than 10cm to less than 2cm today. This evolution is mainly driven by the improvements in 2D pose estimation task that benefited from the use of convolutional networks. However with the multiplication of different approaches it can be difficult to identify what is more adapted to the specifics of any applications. We suggest to classify existing methods with a taxonomy based on the performance criteria of accuracy, speed and robustness. We review more than twenty methods from the last three years. Additionally we analyze the metrics, benchmarks and structure of the different pose estimation systems and propose several direction for future research. We hope to offer a good introduction to 3D markerless pose estimation as well as discussing the leading contemporary algorithms.

  Shujun Wang, Yaxi Zhu, Lequan Yu, Hao Chen, Huangjing Lin, Xiangbo Wan, Xinjuan Fan, Pheng-Ann Hen
Abstract: The whole slide histopathology images (WSIs) play a critical role in gastric cancer diagnosis. However, due to the large scale of WSIs and various sizes of the abnormal area, how to select informative regions and analyze them are quite challenging during the automatic diagnosis process. The multi-instance learning based on the most discriminative instances can be of great benefit for whole slide gastric image diagnosis. In this paper, we design a recalibrated multi-instance deep learning method (RMDL) to address this challenging problem. We first select the discriminative instances, and then utilize these instances to diagnose diseases based on the proposed RMDL approach. The designed RMDL network is capable of capturing instance-wise dependencies and recalibrating instance features according to the importance coefficient learned from the fused features. Furthermore, we build a large whole-slide gastric histopathology image dataset with detailed pixel-level annotations. Experimental results on the constructed gastric dataset demonstrate the significant improvement on the accuracy of our proposed framework compared with other state-of-the-art multi-instance learning methods. Moreover, our method is general and can be extended to other diagnosis tasks of different cancer types based on WSIs.

Abstract: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread all over the world since it broke out massively in December 2019, which has caused a large loss to the whole world. Both the confirmed cases and death cases have reached a relatively frightening number. Syndrome coronaviruses 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of COVID-19, can be transmitted by small respiratory droplets. To curb its spread at the source, wearing masks is a convenient and effective measure. In most cases, people use face masks in a high-frequent but short-time way. Aimed at solving the problem that we don't know which service stage of the mask belongs to, we propose a detection system based on the mobile phone. We first extract four features from the GLCMs of the face mask's micro-photos. Next, a three-result detection system is accomplished by using KNN algorithm. The results of validation experiments show that our system can reach a precision of 82.87% (standard deviation=8.5%) on the testing dataset. In future work, we plan to expand the detection objects to more mask types. This work demonstrates that the proposed mobile microscope system can be used as an assistant for face mask being used, which may play a positive role in fighting against COVID-19.

  Giulia Orrù, Marco Micheletto, Fabio Terranova, Gian Luca Marcialis
Abstract: In this study we investigate a textural processing method of electroencephalography (EEG) signal as an indicator to estimate the driver's vigilance in a hypothetical Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system. The novelty of the solution proposed relies on employing the one-dimensional Local Binary Pattern (1D-LBP) algorithm for feature extraction from pre-processed EEG data. From the resulting feature vector, the classification is done according to three vigilance classes: awake, tired and drowsy. The claim is that the class transitions can be detected by describing the variations of the micro-patterns' occurrences along the EEG signal. The 1D-LBP is able to describe them by detecting mutual variations of the signal temporarily "close" as a short bit-code. Our analysis allows to conclude that the 1D-LBP adoption has led to significant performance improvement. Moreover, capturing the class transitions from the EEG signal is effective, although the overall performance is not yet good enough to develop a BCI for assessing the driver's vigilance in real environments.

12. Detecting Anomalies from Video-Sequences: a Novel Descriptor [PDF] 返回目录
  Giulia Orrù, Davide Ghiani, Maura Pintor, Gian Luca Marcialis, Fabio Roli
Abstract: We present a novel descriptor for crowd behavior analysis and anomaly detection. The goal is to measure by appropriate patterns the speed of formation and disintegration of groups in the crowd. This descriptor is inspired by the concept of one-dimensional local binary patterns: in our case, such patterns depend on the number of group observed in a time window. An appropriate measurement unit, named "trit" (trinary digit), represents three possible dynamic states of groups on a certain frame. Our hypothesis is that abrupt variations of the groups' number may be due to an anomalous event that can be accordingly detected, by translating these variations on temporal trit-based sequence of strings which are significantly different from the one describing the "no-anomaly" one. Due to the peculiarity of the rationale behind this work, relying on the number of groups, three different methods of people group's extraction are compared. Experiments are carried out on the Motion-Emotion benchmark data set. Reported results point out in which cases the trit-based measurement of group dynamics allows us to detect the anomaly. Besides the promising performance of our approach, we show how it is correlated with the anomaly typology and the camera's perspective to the crowd's flow (frontal, lateral).

Abstract: The existing convolutional neural network pruning algorithms can be divided into two categories: coarse-grained clipping and fine-grained clipping. This paper proposes a coarse and fine-grained automatic pruning algorithm, which can achieve more efficient and accurate compression acceleration for convolutional neural networks. First, cluster the intermediate feature maps of the convolutional neural network to obtain the network structure after coarse-grained clipping, and then use the particle swarm optimization algorithm to iteratively search and optimize the structure. Finally, the optimal network tailoring substructure is obtained.

  Jianrong Wang, Tong Wu, Shanyu Wang, Mei Yu, Qiang Fang, Ju Zhang, Li Liu
Abstract: Lip motion reflects behavior characteristics of speakers, and thus can be used as a new kind of biometrics in speaker recognition. In the literature, lots of works used two-dimensional (2D) lip images to recognize speaker in a textdependent context. However, 2D lip easily suffers from various face orientations. To this end, in this work, we present a novel end-to-end 3D lip motion Network (3LMNet) by utilizing the sentence-level 3D lip motion (S3DLM) to recognize speakers in both the text-independent and text-dependent contexts. A new regional feedback module (RFM) is proposed to obtain attentions in different lip regions. Besides, prior knowledge of lip motion is investigated to complement RFM, where landmark-level and frame-level features are merged to form a better feature representation. Moreover, we present two methods, i.e., coordinate transformation and face posture correction to pre-process the LSD-AV dataset, which contains 68 speakers and 146 sentences per speaker. The evaluation results on this dataset demonstrate that our proposed 3LMNet is superior to the baseline models, i.e., LSTM, VGG-16 and ResNet-34, and outperforms the state-of-the-art using 2D lip image as well as the 3D face. The code of this work is released at this https URL Motion-Network-for-Text-Independent-Speaker-Recognition.

15. A Generalized Zero-Shot Framework for Emotion Recognition from Body Gestures [PDF] 返回目录
  Jinting Wu, Yujia Zhang, Xiaoguang Zhao
Abstract: Although automatic emotion recognition from facial expressions and speech has made remarkable progress, emotion recognition from body gestures has not been thoroughly explored. People often use a variety of body language to express emotions, and it is difficult to enumerate all emotional body gestures and collect enough samples for each category. Therefore, recognizing new emotional body gestures is critical for better understanding human emotions. However, the existing methods fail to accurately determine which emotional state a new body gesture belongs to. In order to solve this problem, we introduce a Generalized Zero-Shot Learning (GZSL) framework, which consists of three branches to infer the emotional state of the new body gestures with only their semantic descriptions. The first branch is a Prototype-Based Detector (PBD) which is used to determine whether an sample belongs to a seen body gesture category and obtain the prediction results of the samples from the seen categories. The second branch is a Stacked AutoEncoder (StAE) with manifold regularization, which utilizes semantic representations to predict samples from unseen categories. Note that both of the above branches are for body gesture recognition. We further add an emotion classifier with a softmax layer as the third branch in order to better learn the feature representations for this emotion classification task. The input features for these three branches are learned by a shared feature extraction network, i.e., a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Networks (BLSTM) with a self-attention module. We treat these three branches as subtasks and use multi-task learning strategies for joint training. The performance of our framework on an emotion recognition dataset is significantly superior to the traditional method of emotion classification and state-of-the-art zero-shot learning methods.
摘要:尽管从面部表情自动情感识别和语音取得了令人瞩目的进步,从肢体语言的情感识别尚未彻底研究。人们常常用各种肢体语言来表达情感,这是难以一一列举所有的情感身体姿势和足够的采集样品为每个类别。因此,认识新的情感身体姿势是为了更好地理解人类情感的关键。然而,现有的方法不能准确地确定其情绪状态一个新的身体姿势属于。为了解决这个问题,我们引入一个广义零射门学习(GZSL)框架,它由三个分支,只有他们的语义描述推断出新的身体姿势的情绪状态。所述第一分支是一个基于原型检测器(PBD),其被用于确定样品是否属于看出身体姿势类别和获得来自看出类别样本的预测结果。第二分支是堆叠自动编码器(StAE)与歧管的正则化,其利用语义表示从看不见的类别预测样本。请注意,上述两个分支是人体手势识别。我们还与SOFTMAX层作为第三分公司,以便更好地了解这种情感分类任务的特征表示添加的情感分类。这三个分支中的输入功能通过共享的特征提取网络,了解到即双向长短期记忆网络(BLSTM)具有自注意模块。我们对待这三个分支为子任务,并使用多任务学习策略进行合练。我们的情绪识别数据集架构的性能显著优于情感类别和国家的最先进的零次学习方法的传统方法。

  Zongxin Yang, Yunchao Wei, Yi Yang
Abstract: This paper investigates the principles of embedding learning to tackle the challenging semi-supervised video object segmentation. Unlike previous practices that focus on exploring the embedding learning of foreground object (s), we consider background should be equally treated. Thus, we propose a Collaborative video object segmentation by Foreground-Background Integration (CFBI) approach. CFBI separates the feature embedding into the foreground object region and its corresponding background region, implicitly promoting them to be more contrastive and improving the segmentation results accordingly. Moreover, CFBI performs both pixel-level matching processes and instance-level attention mechanisms between the reference and the predicted sequence, making CFBI robust to various object scales. Based on CFBI, we introduce a multi-scale matching structure and propose an Atrous Matching strategy, resulting in a more robust and efficient framework, CFBI+. We conduct extensive experiments on two popular benchmarks, i.e., DAVIS and YouTube-VOS. Without applying any simulated data for pre-training, our CFBI+ achieves the performance (J&F) of 82.9% and 82.8%, outperforming all the other state-of-the-art methods. Code: this https URL.
摘要:本文探讨嵌入学习应对挑战的半监督视频对象分割的原则。不同于以往的实践,注重探索前景物体(S)的嵌入学习,我们考虑的背景应该一视同仁。因此,我们提出了通过前景背景集成(CFBI)的方式协作型视频对象分割。 CFBI分离特征嵌入到所述前景对象区域和与其对应的背景区域,隐式地促进他们更加对比,并相应地提高了分割的结果。此外,CFBI执行参考和预测的序列之间的两个像素级匹配过程和实例级注意机制,使得CFBI健壮各种对象鳞。基于CFBI,我们引入了多尺度匹配结构,并提出了一个Atrous匹配策略,导致了更强大和高效的框架,CFBI +。我们进行了两个流行的基准,即DAVIS和YouTube,VOS广泛的实验。不施加任何模拟数据用于预培养,我们CFBI +实现了82.9%和82.8%的性能(J&F),超越国家的最先进的所有其他方法。代码:该HTTPS URL。

17. LM-Reloc: Levenberg-Marquardt Based Direct Visual Relocalization [PDF] 返回目录
  Lukas von Stumberg, Patrick Wenzel, Nan Yang, Daniel Cremers
Abstract: We present LM-Reloc -- a novel approach for visual relocalization based on direct image alignment. In contrast to prior works that tackle the problem with a feature-based formulation, the proposed method does not rely on feature matching and RANSAC. Hence, the method can utilize not only corners but any region of the image with gradients. In particular, we propose a loss formulation inspired by the classical Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to train LM-Net. The learned features significantly improve the robustness of direct image alignment, especially for relocalization across different conditions. To further improve the robustness of LM-Net against large image baselines, we propose a pose estimation network, CorrPoseNet, which regresses the relative pose to bootstrap the direct image alignment. Evaluations on the CARLA and Oxford RobotCar relocalization tracking benchmark show that our approach delivers more accurate results than previous state-of-the-art methods while being comparable in terms of robustness.

  Akiyoshi Kurobe, Yoshikatsu Nakajima, Hideo Saito, Kris Kitani
Abstract: The ability to both recognize and discover terrain characteristics is an important function required for many autonomous ground robots such as social robots, assistive robots, autonomous vehicles, and ground exploration robots. Recognizing and discovering terrain characteristics is challenging because similar terrains may have very different appearances (e.g., carpet comes in many colors), while terrains with very similar appearance may have very different physical properties (e.g. mulch versus dirt). In order to address the inherent ambiguity in vision-based terrain recognition and discovery, we propose a multi-modal self-supervised learning technique that switches between audio features extracted from a mic attached to the underside of a mobile platform and image features extracted by a camera on the platform to cluster terrain types. The terrain cluster labels are then used to train an image-based convolutional neural network to predict changes in terrain types. Through experiments, we demonstrate that the proposed self-supervised terrain type discovery method achieves over 80% accuracy, which greatly outperforms several baselines and suggests strong potential for assistive applications.
摘要:既承认和发现地形特征的能力是许多自主地面机器人,如社交机器人,辅助性机器人,自主车和地面探测机器人所需要的重要功能。识别和发现的地形特征是具有挑战性的,因为相似的地形可能具有非常不同的外观(例如,地毯有多种颜色),而具有非常相似的外观的地形可以具有非常不同的物理性质(例如覆盖与污垢)。为了解决固有的歧义基于视觉的地形识别和发现,我们提出了一个多模式的自我监督学习技术,从连接到移动平台的下侧与图像的麦克风提取的音频特征之间的切换功能被提取相机在平台上聚集地形类型。然后地形簇标签被用来训练基于图像的卷积神经网络来预测在地形类型的变化。通过实验,我们证明了所提出的自我监督地形类型的发现方法实现超过80%的准确率,这大大优于几个基线,并提出了辅助应用的巨大潜力。

  Julia Dietlmeier, Joseph Antony, Kevin McGuinness, Noel E. O'Connor
Abstract: This paper investigates the dependence of existing state-of-the-art person re-identification models on the presence and visibility of human faces. We apply a face detection and blurring algorithm to create anonymized versions of several popular person re-identification datasets including Market1501, DukeMTMC-reID, CUHK03, Viper, and Airport. Using a cross-section of existing state-of-the-art models that range in accuracy and computational efficiency, we evaluate the effect of this anonymization on re-identification performance using standard metrics. Perhaps surprisingly, the effect on mAP is very small, and accuracy is recovered by simply training on the anonymized versions of the data rather than the original data. These findings are consistent across multiple models and datasets. These results indicate that datasets can be safely anonymized by blurring faces without significantly impacting the performance of person reidentification systems, and may allow for the release of new richer re-identification datasets where previously there were privacy or data protection concerns.

  Sungnyun Kim, Gihun Lee, Sangmin Bae, Se-Young Yun
Abstract: Contrastive learning has shown remarkable results in recent self-supervised approaches for visual representation. By learning to contrast positive pairs' representation from the corresponding negatives pairs, one can train good visual representations without human annotations. This paper proposes Mix-up Contrast (MixCo), which extends the contrastive learning concept to semi-positives encoded from the mix-up of positive and negative images. MixCo aims to learn the relative similarity of representations, reflecting how much the mixed images have the original positives. We validate the efficacy of MixCo when applied to the recent self-supervised learning algorithms under the standard linear evaluation protocol on TinyImageNet, CIFAR10, and CIFAR100. In the experiments, MixCo consistently improves test accuracy. Remarkably, the improvement is more significant when the learning capacity (e.g., model size) is limited, suggesting that MixCo might be more useful in real-world scenarios.

21. Impact of Thermal Throttling on Long-Term Visual Inference in a CPU-based Edge Device [PDF] 返回目录
  Théo Benoit-Cattin, Delia Velasco-Montero, Jorge Fernández-Berni
Abstract: Many application scenarios of edge visual inference, e.g., robotics or environmental monitoring, eventually require long periods of continuous operation. In such periods, the processor temperature plays a critical role to keep a prescribed frame rate. Particularly, the heavy computational load of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) may lead to thermal throttling and hence performance degradation in few seconds. In this paper, we report and analyze the long-term performance of 80 different cases resulting from running 5 CNN models on 4 software frameworks and 2 operating systems without and with active cooling. This comprehensive study was conducted on a low-cost edge platform, namely Raspberry Pi 4B (RPi4B), under stable indoor conditions. The results show that hysteresis-based active cooling prevented thermal throttling in all cases, thereby improving the throughput up to approximately 90% versus no cooling. Interestingly, the range of fan usage during active cooling varied from 33% to 65%. Given the impact of the fan on the power consumption of the system as a whole, these results stress the importance of a suitable selection of CNN model and software components. To assess the performance in outdoor applications, we integrated an external temperature sensor with the RPi4B and conducted a set of experiments with no active cooling in a wide interval of ambient temperature, ranging from 22 °C to 36 °C. Variations up to 27.7% were measured with respect to the maximum throughput achieved in that interval. This demonstrates that ambient temperature is a critical parameter in case active cooling cannot be applied.
摘要:边缘视觉推断,例如,机器人或环境监测的许多应用场景,最终需要连续运行很长时间。在这样的时段期间,处理器温度起着保持规定的帧速率的关键作用。具体地,卷积神经网络的重计算负荷(细胞神经网络)可以导致在几秒钟热节流,因此性能下降。在本文中,我们报告和分析运行4个软件框架和2个操作系统5个CNN模型,而不与主动散热产生80种不同的情况下,长期表现。这一综合性研究是一个低成本的优势平台,即树莓派4B(RPi4B),稳定的室内条件下,上进行。结果表明在所有情况下,基于滞后活性冷却防止热节流,从而提高吞吐量高达约90%,而没有冷却。有趣的是,风扇的使用过程中有活性的范围内冷却从33%变化到65%。鉴于该系统作为一个整体的功耗风扇的影响,这些结果强调CNN模型和软件组件的适当选择的重要性。为了评估在户外应用的性能,我们集成了RPi4B外部温度传感器和在环境温度下的宽间隔进行一组与无活性的冷却实验,从22℃至36℃。变化高达27.7%,相对于通过在该间隔达到的最大测定。这表明环境温度的情况下,主动冷却无法应用的关键参数。

  Vasilis Pollatos, Loukas Kouvaras, Eleni Charou
Abstract: In this paper we present our work on developing an automated system for land cover classification. This system takes a multiband satellite image of an area as input and outputs the land cover map of the area at the same resolution as the input. For this purpose convolutional machine learning models were trained in the task of predicting the land cover semantic segmentation of satellite images. This is a case of supervised learning. The land cover label data were taken from the CORINE Land Cover inventory and the satellite images were taken from the Copernicus hub. As for the model, U-Net architecture variations were applied. Our area of interest are the Ionian islands (Greece). We created a dataset from scratch covering this particular area. In addition, transfer learning from the BigEarthNet dataset [1] was performed. In [1] simple classification of satellite images into the classes of CLC is performed but not segmentation as we do. However, their models have been trained into a dataset much bigger than ours, so we applied transfer learning using their pretrained models as the first part of out network, utilizing the ability these networks have developed to extract useful features from the satellite images (we transferred a pretrained ResNet50 into a U-Res-Net). Apart from transfer learning other techniques were applied in order to overcome the limitations set by the small size of our area of interest. We used data augmentation (cutting images into overlapping patches, applying random transformations such as rotations and flips) and cross validation. The results are tested on the 3 CLC class hierarchy levels and a comparative study is made on the results of different approaches.

23. A Scale and Rotational Invariant Key-point Detector based on Sparse Coding [PDF] 返回目录
  Thanh Hong-Phuoc, Ling Guan
Abstract: Most popular hand-crafted key-point detectors such as Harris corner, SIFT, SURF aim to detect corners, blobs, junctions or other human defined structures in images. Though being robust with some geometric transformations, unintended scenarios or non-uniform lighting variations could significantly degrade their performance. Hence, a new detector that is flexible with context change and simultaneously robust with both geometric and non-uniform illumination variations is very desirable. In this paper, we propose a solution to this challenging problem by incorporating Scale and Rotation Invariant design (named SRI-SCK) into a recently developed Sparse Coding based Key-point detector (SCK). The SCK detector is flexible in different scenarios and fully invariant to affine intensity change, yet it is not designed to handle images with drastic scale and rotation changes. In SRI-SCK, the scale invariance is implemented with an image pyramid technique while the rotation invariance is realized by combining multiple rotated versions of the dictionary used in the sparse coding step of SCK. Techniques for calculation of key-points' characteristic scales and their sub-pixel accuracy positions are also proposed. Experimental results on three public datasets demonstrate that significantly high repeatability and matching score are achieved.

Abstract: This paper studies the task of temporal moment localization in a long untrimmed video using natural language query. Given a query sentence, the goal is to determine the start and end of the relevant segment within the video. Our key innovation is to learn a video feature embedding through a language-conditioned message-passing algorithm suitable for temporal moment localization which captures the relationships between humans, objects and activities in the video. These relationships are obtained by a spatial sub-graph that contextualizes the scene representation using detected objects and human features conditioned in the language query. Moreover, a temporal sub-graph captures the activities within the video through time. Our method is evaluated on three standard benchmark datasets, and we also introduce YouCookII as a new benchmark for this task. Experiments show our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods on these datasets, confirming the effectiveness of our approach.

Abstract: Aerial tracking, which has exhibited its omnipresent dedication and splendid performance, is one of the most active applications in the remote sensing field. Especially, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based remote sensing system, equipped with a visual tracking approach, has been widely used in aviation, navigation, agriculture, transportation, and public security, etc. As is mentioned above, the UAV-based aerial tracking platform has been gradually developed from research to practical application stage, reaching one of the main aerial remote sensing technologies in the future. However, due to real-world challenging situations, the vibration of the UAV's mechanical structure (especially under strong wind conditions), and limited computation resources, accuracy, robustness, and high efficiency are all crucial for the onboard tracking methods. Recently, the discriminative correlation filter (DCF)-based trackers have stood out for their high computational efficiency and appealing robustness on a single CPU, and have flourished in the UAV visual tracking community. In this work, the basic framework of the DCF-based trackers is firstly generalized, based on which, 20 state-of-the-art DCF-based trackers are orderly summarized according to their innovations for soloving various issues. Besides, exhaustive and quantitative experiments have been extended on various prevailing UAV tracking benchmarks, i.e., UAV123, UAV123_10fps, UAV20L, UAVDT, DTB70, and VisDrone2019-SOT, which contain 371,625 frames in total. The experiments show the performance, verify the feasibility, and demonstrate the current challenges of DCF-based trackers onboard UAV tracking. Finally, comprehensive conclusions on open challenges and directions for future research is presented.

  Qi Shen, Shengjie Zhao, Rongqing Zhang, Bin Zhang
Abstract: Drowsiness driving is a major cause of traffic accidents and thus numerous previous researches have focused on driver drowsiness detection. Many drive relevant factors have been taken into consideration for fatigue detection and can lead to high precision, but there are still several serious constraints, such as most existing models are environmentally susceptible. In this paper, fatigue detection is considered as temporal action detection problem instead of image classification. The proposed detection system can be divided into four parts: (1) Localize the key patches of the detected driver picture which are critical for fatigue detection and calculate the corresponding optical flow. (2) Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) is used in our system to reduce the impact of different light conditions. (3) Three individual two-stream networks combined with attention mechanism are designed for each feature to extract temporal information. (4) The outputs of the three sub-networks will be concatenated and sent to the fully-connected network, which judges the status of the driver. The drowsiness detection system is trained and evaluated on the famous Nation Tsing Hua University Driver Drowsiness Detection (NTHU-DDD) dataset and we obtain an accuracy of 94.46%, which outperforms most existing fatigue detection models.

27. Two-Stream Compare and Contrast Network for Vertebral Compression Fracture Diagnosis [PDF] 返回目录
  Shixiang Feng, Beibei Liu, Ya Zhang, Xiaoyun Zhang, Yuehua Li
Abstract: Differentiating Vertebral Compression Fractures (VCFs) associated with trauma and osteoporosis (benign VCFs) or those caused by metastatic cancer (malignant VCFs) are critically important for treatment decisions. So far, automatic VCFs diagnosis is solved in a two-step manner, i.e. first identify VCFs and then classify it into benign or malignant. In this paper, we explore to model VCFs diagnosis as a three-class classification problem, i.e. normal vertebrae, benign VCFs, and malignant VCFs. However, VCFs recognition and classification require very different features, and both tasks are characterized by high intra-class variation and high inter-class similarity. Moreover, the dataset is extremely class-imbalanced. To address the above challenges, we propose a novel Two-Stream Compare and Contrast Network (TSCCN) for VCFs diagnosis. This network consists of two streams, a recognition stream which learns to identify VCFs through comparing and contrasting between adjacent vertebra, and a classification stream which compares and contrasts between intra-class and inter-class to learn features for fine-grained classification. The two streams are integrated via a learnable weight control module which adaptively sets their contribution. The TSCCN is evaluated on a dataset consisting of 239 VCFs patients and achieves the average sensitivity and specificity of 92.56\% and 96.29\%, respectively.

28. Self-Supervised Multi-View Synchronization Learning for 3D Pose Estimation [PDF] 返回目录
  Simon Jenni, Paolo Favaro
Abstract: Current state-of-the-art methods cast monocular 3D human pose estimation as a learning problem by training neural networks on large data sets of images and corresponding skeleton poses. In contrast, we propose an approach that can exploit small annotated data sets by fine-tuning networks pre-trained via self-supervised learning on (large) unlabeled data sets. To drive such networks towards supporting 3D pose estimation during the pre-training step, we introduce a novel self-supervised feature learning task designed to focus on the 3D structure in an image. We exploit images extracted from videos captured with a multi-view camera system. The task is to classify whether two images depict two views of the same scene up to a rigid transformation. In a multi-view data set, where objects deform in a non-rigid manner, a rigid transformation occurs only between two views taken at the exact same time, i.e., when they are synchronized. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the synchronization task on the Human3.6M data set and achieve state-of-the-art results in 3D human pose estimation.

29. Few-shot Action Recognition with Implicit Temporal Alignment and Pair Similarity Optimization [PDF] 返回目录
  Congqi Cao, Yajuan Li, Qinyi Lv, Peng Wang, Yanning Zhang
Abstract: Few-shot learning aims to recognize instances from novel classes with few labeled samples, which has great value in research and application. Although there has been a lot of work in this area recently, most of the existing work is based on image classification tasks. Video-based few-shot action recognition has not been explored well and remains challenging: 1) the differences of implementation details among different papers make a fair comparison difficult; 2) the wide variations and misalignment of temporal sequences make the video-level similarity comparison difficult; 3) the scarcity of labeled data makes the optimization difficult. To solve these problems, this paper presents 1) a specific setting to evaluate the performance of few-shot action recognition algorithms; 2) an implicit sequence-alignment algorithm for better video-level similarity comparison; 3) an advanced loss for few-shot learning to optimize pair similarity with limited data. Specifically, we propose a novel few-shot action recognition framework that uses long short-term memory following 3D convolutional layers for sequence modeling and alignment. Circle loss is introduced to maximize the within-class similarity and minimize the between-class similarity flexibly towards a more definite convergence target. Instead of using random or ambiguous experimental settings, we set a concrete criterion analogous to the standard image-based few-shot learning setting for few-shot action recognition evaluation. Extensive experiments on two datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

  Shujun Wang, Lequan Yu, Kang Li, Xin Yang, Chi-Wing Fu, Pheng-Ann Heng
Abstract: Deep convolutional neural networks have significantly boosted the performance of fundus image segmentation when test datasets have the same distribution as the training datasets. However, in clinical practice, medical images often exhibit variations in appearance for various reasons, e.g., different scanner vendors and image quality. These distribution discrepancies could lead the deep networks to over-fit on the training datasets and lack generalization ability on the unseen test datasets. To alleviate this issue, we present a novel Domain-oriented Feature Embedding (DoFE) framework to improve the generalization ability of CNNs on unseen target domains by exploring the knowledge from multiple source domains. Our DoFE framework dynamically enriches the image features with additional domain prior knowledge learned from multi-source domains to make the semantic features more discriminative. Specifically, we introduce a Domain Knowledge Pool to learn and memorize the prior information extracted from multi-source domains. Then the original image features are augmented with domain-oriented aggregated features, which are induced from the knowledge pool based on the similarity between the input image and multi-source domain images. We further design a novel domain code prediction branch to infer this similarity and employ an attention-guided mechanism to dynamically combine the aggregated features with the semantic features. We comprehensively evaluate our DoFE framework on two fundus image segmentation tasks, including the optic cup and disc segmentation and vessel segmentation. Our DoFE framework generates satisfying segmentation results on unseen datasets and surpasses other domain generalization and network regularization methods.
摘要:深卷积神经网络已显著提高眼底图像分割的性能测试时,数据集具有相同的分布作为训练数据集。然而,在临床实践中,医用图像常常表现出在外观上因各种原因,例如,不同的供应商的扫描器和图像质量的变化。这些分布的差异可能导致的深层网络对训练数据过拟合和缺乏对看不见的测试数据集泛化能力。为了缓解这个问题,我们提出了一个新颖的域的面向特征嵌入(DoFE)框架通过探索从多个源域的知识来改进细胞神经网络的上看不见目标域泛化能力。我们DoFE架构动态地丰富与多源域学到更多的领域先验知识的图像功能,使语义特征更有辨别力。具体而言,我们引入一个领域知识游泳池的学习和记忆从多源域提取的先验信息。然后将原始图像特征被增强与面向领域的聚集的功能,这是从知识池基于所述输入图像和多源域图像之间的相似性引起的。我们进一步设计了新的域代码分支预测来推断这种相似性和使用的注意力引导机制与语义特征动态相结合的聚合功能。我们全面评估我们的两个眼底图像分割的任务,包括视杯和盘分割和血管分割DoFE框架。我们DoFE框架产生于看不见的数据集满足分割结果和优于其他领域的推广和网络正则化方法。

Abstract: This article articulates the emerging paradigm, sitting at the confluence of computer vision and wireless communication, to enable beyond-5G/6G mission-critical applications (autonomous/remote-controlled vehicles, visuo-haptic VR, and other cyber-physical applications). First, drawing on recent advances in machine learning and the availability of non-RF data, vision-aided wireless networks are shown to significantly enhance the reliability of wireless communication without sacrificing spectral efficiency. In particular, we demonstrate how computer vision enables {look-ahead} prediction in a millimeter-wave channel blockage scenario, before the blockage actually happens. From a computer vision perspective, we highlight how radio frequency (RF) based sensing and imaging are instrumental in robustifying computer vision applications against occlusion and failure. This is corroborated via an RF-based image reconstruction use case, showcasing a receiver-side image failure correction resulting in reduced retransmission and latency. Taken together, this article sheds light on the much-needed convergence of RF and non-RF modalities to enable ultra-reliable communication and truly intelligent 6G networks.

32. ISTA-NAS: Efficient and Consistent Neural Architecture Search by Sparse Coding [PDF] 返回目录
  Yibo Yang, Hongyang Li, Shan You, Fei Wang, Chen Qian, Zhouchen Lin
Abstract: Neural architecture search (NAS) aims to produce the optimal sparse solution from a high-dimensional space spanned by all candidate connections. Current gradient-based NAS methods commonly ignore the constraint of sparsity in the search phase, but project the optimized solution onto a sparse one by post-processing. As a result, the dense super-net for search is inefficient to train and has a gap with the projected architecture for evaluation. In this paper, we formulate neural architecture search as a sparse coding problem. We perform the differentiable search on a compressed lower-dimensional space that has the same validation loss as the original sparse solution space, and recover an architecture by solving the sparse coding problem. The differentiable search and architecture recovery are optimized in an alternate manner. By doing so, our network for search at each update satisfies the sparsity constraint and is efficient to train. In order to also eliminate the depth and width gap between the network in search and the target-net in evaluation, we further propose a method to search and evaluate in one stage under the target-net settings. When training finishes, architecture variables are absorbed into network weights. Thus we get the searched architecture and optimized parameters in a single run. In experiments, our two-stage method on CIFAR-10 requires only 0.05 GPU-day for search. Our one-stage method produces state-of-the-art performances on both CIFAR-10 and ImageNet at the cost of only evaluation time.

33. Exploring Efficient Volumetric Medical Image Segmentation Using 2.5D Method: An Empirical Study [PDF] 返回目录
  Yichi Zhang, Qingcheng Liao, Jicong Zhang
Abstract: With the unprecedented developments in deep learning, many methods are proposed and have achieved great success for medical image segmentation. However, unlike segmentation of natural images, most medical images such as MRI and CT are volumetric data. In order to make full use of volumetric information, 3D CNNs are widely used. However, 3D CNNs suffer from higher inference time and computation cost, which hinders their further clinical applications. Additionally, with the increased number of parameters, the risk of overfitting is higher, especially for medical images where data and annotations are expensive to acquire. To issue this problem, many 2.5D segmentation methods have been proposed to make use of volumetric spatial information with less computation cost. Despite these works lead to improvements on a variety of segmentation tasks, to the best of our knowledge, there has not previously been a large-scale empirical comparison of these methods. In this paper, we aim to present a review of the latest developments of 2.5D methods for volumetric medical image segmentation. Additionally, to compare the performance and effectiveness of these methods, we provide an empirical study of these methods on three representative segmentation tasks involving different modalities and targets. Our experimental results highlight that 3D CNNs may not always be the best choice. Besides, although all these 2.5D methods can bring performance gains to 2D baseline, not all the methods hold the benefits on different datasets. We hope the results and conclusions of our study will prove useful for the community on exploring and developing efficient volumetric medical image segmentation methods.

34. Towards Understanding Pixel Vulnerability under Adversarial Attacks for Images [PDF] 返回目录
  He Zhao, Trung Le, Paul Montague, Olivier De Vel, Tamas Abraham, Dinh Phung
Abstract: Deep neural network image classifiers are reported to be susceptible to adversarial evasion attacks, which use carefully crafted images created to mislead a classifier. Recently, various kinds of adversarial attack methods have been proposed, most of which focus on adding small perturbations to all of the pixels of a real image. We find that a considerable amount of the perturbations on an image generated by some widely-used attacks may contribute little in attacking a classifier. However, they usually result in a more easily detectable adversarial image by both humans and adversarial attack detection algorithms. Therefore, it is important to impose the perturbations on the most vulnerable pixels of an image that can change the predictions of classifiers more readily. With the pixel vulnerability, given an existing attack, we can make its adversarial images more realistic and less detectable with fewer perturbations but keep its attack performance the same. Moreover, the discovered vulnerability assists to get a better understanding of the weakness of deep classifiers. Derived from the information-theoretic perspective, we propose a probabilistic approach for automatically finding the pixel vulnerability of an image, which is compatible with and improves over many existing adversarial attacks.
摘要:深层神经网络图像分类报告易受对抗逃避攻击,它使用产生误导分类精心设计的图像。近来,各种敌对攻击方法已经被提出,其中大部分集中在将小扰动对所有国家的真实图像的像素。我们发现,一些广泛使用的攻击而产生的图像上有相当数量的扰动可能会在进攻中分类小贡献。然而,他们通常会导致由人类和对抗性攻击检测算法更容易检测到的敌对形象。因此,强加在可更容易地改变分类器的预测的图像的最脆弱的像素的扰动是很重要的。随着像素的漏洞,给现有的攻击,我们可以使其对抗性的图像更加逼真,用更少的干扰更不易察觉,但保持其攻击性能相同。另外,发现的漏洞助攻更好地了解深分类的弱点。从信息理论的角度推导,我们提出了自动查找的形象,这是兼容并且改进了很多现有的对抗攻击的漏洞像素概率方法。

35. Map-Based Temporally Consistent Geolocalization through Learning Motion Trajectories [PDF] 返回目录
  Bing Zha, Alper Yilmaz
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel trajectory learning method that exploits motion trajectories on topological map using recurrent neural network for temporally consistent geolocalization of object. Inspired by human's ability to both be aware of distance and direction of self-motion in navigation, our trajectory learning method learns a pattern representation of trajectories encoded as a sequence of distances and turning angles to assist self-localization. We pose the learning process as a conditional sequence prediction problem in which each output locates the object on a traversable path in a map. Considering the prediction sequence ought to be topologically connected in the graph-structured map, we adopt two different hypotheses generation and elimination strategies to eliminate disconnected sequence prediction. We demonstrate our approach on the KITTI stereo visual odometry dataset which is a city-scale environment and can generate trajectory with metric information. The key benefits of our approach to geolocalization are that 1) we take advantage of powerful sequence modeling ability of recurrent neural network and its robustness to noisy input, 2) only require a map in the form of a graph and simply use an affordable sensor that generates motion trajectory and 3) do not need initial position. The experiments show that the motion trajectories can be learned by training an recurrent neural network, and temporally consistent geolocation can be predicted with both of the proposed strategies.

36. Universal Model for 3D Medical Image Analysis [PDF] 返回目录
  Xiaoman Zhang, Ya Zhang, Xiaoyun Zhang, Yanfeng Wang
Abstract: Deep Learning-based methods recently have achieved remarkable progress in medical image analysis, but heavily rely on massive amounts of labeled training data. Transfer learning from pre-trained models has been proposed as a standard pipeline on medical image analysis to address this bottleneck. Despite their success, the existing pre-trained models are mostly not tuned for multi-modal multi-task generalization in medical domains. Specifically, their training data are either from non-medical domain or in single modality, failing to attend to the problem of performance degradation with cross-modal transfer. Furthermore, there is no effort to explicitly extract multi-level features required by a variety of downstream tasks. To overcome these limitations, we propose Universal Model, a transferable and generalizable pre-trained model for 3D medical image analysis. A unified self-supervised learning scheme is leveraged to learn representations from multiple unlabeled source datasets with different modalities and distinctive scan regions. A modality invariant adversarial learning module is further introduced to improve the cross-modal generalization. To fit a wide range of tasks, a simple yet effective scale classifier is incorporated to capture multi-level visual representations. To validate the effectiveness of the Universal Model, we perform extensive experimental analysis on five target tasks, covering multiple imaging modalities, distinctive scan regions, and different analysis tasks. Compared with both public 3D pre-trained models and newly investigated 3D self-supervised learning methods, Universal Model demonstrates superior generalizability, manifested by its higher performance, stronger robustness and faster convergence. The pre-trained Universal Model is available at: \href{this https URL}{this https URL}.

37. Infant Pose Learning with Small Data [PDF] 返回目录
  Xiaofei Huang, Nihang Fu, Sarah Ostadabbas
Abstract: With the increasing maturity of the human pose estimation domain, its applications have become more and more broaden. Yet, the state-of-the-art pose estimation models performance degrades significantly in the applications that include novel subjects or poses, such as infants with their unique movements. Infant motion analysis is a topic with critical importance in child health and developmental studies. However, models trained on large-scale adult pose datasets are barely successful in estimating infant poses due to significant differences in their body ratio and the versatility of poses they can take compared to adults. Moreover, the privacy and security considerations hinder the availability of enough infant images required for training a robust pose estimation model from scratch. Here, we propose a fine-tuned domain-adapted infant pose (FiDIP) estimation model, that transfers the knowledge of adult poses into estimating infant pose with the supervision of a domain adaptation technique on a mixed real and synthetic infant pose dataset. In developing FiDIP, we also built a synthetic and real infant pose (SyRIP) dataset with diverse and fully-annotated real infant images and generated synthetic infant images. We demonstrated that our FiDIP model outperforms other state-of-the-art human pose estimation model for the infant pose estimation, with the mean average precision (AP) as high as 92.2.

38. Attn-HybridNet: Improving Discriminability of Hybrid Features with Attention Fusion [PDF] 返回目录
  Sunny Verma, Chen Wang, Liming Zhu, Wei Liu
Abstract: The principal component analysis network (PCANet) is an unsupervised parsimonious deep network, utilizing principal components as filters in its convolution layers. Albeit powerful, the PCANet consists of basic operations such as principal components and spatial pooling, which suffers from two fundamental problems. First, the principal components obtain information by transforming it to column vectors (which we call the amalgamated view), which incurs the loss of the spatial information in the data. Second, the generalized spatial pooling utilized in the PCANet induces feature redundancy and also fails to accommodate spatial statistics of natural images. In this research, we first propose a tensor-factorization based deep network called the Tensor Factorization Network (TFNet). The TFNet extracts features from the spatial structure of the data (which we call the minutiae view). We then show that the information obtained by the PCANet and the TFNet are distinctive and non-trivial but individually insufficient. This phenomenon necessitates the development of proposed HybridNet, which integrates the information discovery with the two views of the data. To enhance the discriminability of hybrid features, we propose Attn-HybridNet, which alleviates the feature redundancy by performing attention-based feature fusion. The significance of our proposed Attn-HybridNet is demonstrated on multiple real-world datasets where the features obtained with Attn-HybridNet achieves better classification performance over other popular baseline methods, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

  Yash Kant, Abhinav Moudgil, Dhruv Batra, Devi Parikh, Harsh Agrawal
Abstract: Recent Visual Question Answering (VQA) models have shown impressive performance on the VQA benchmark but remain sensitive to small linguistic variations in input questions. Existing approaches address this by augmenting the dataset with question paraphrases from visual question generation models or adversarial perturbations. These approaches use the combined data to learn an answer classifier by minimizing the standard cross-entropy loss. To more effectively leverage the augmented data, we build on the recent success in contrastive learning. We propose a novel training paradigm (ConCAT) that alternately optimizes cross-entropy and contrastive losses. The contrastive loss encourages representations to be robust to linguistic variations in questions while the cross-entropy loss preserves the discriminative power of the representations for answer classification. We find that alternately optimizing both losses is key to effective training. VQA models trained with ConCAT achieve higher consensus scores on the VQA-Rephrasings dataset as well as higher VQA accuracy on the VQA 2.0 dataset compared to existing approaches across a variety of data augmentation strategies.

  Thomas Vandal, Daniel McDuff, Weile Wang, Andrew Michaelis, Ramakrishna Nemani
Abstract: Earth observing satellites carrying multi-spectral sensors are widely used to monitor the physical and biological states of the atmosphere, land, and oceans. These satellites have different vantage points above the earth and different spectral imaging bands resulting in inconsistent imagery from one to another. This presents challenges in building downstream applications. What if we could generate synthetic bands for existing satellites from the union of all domains? We tackle the problem of generating synthetic spectral imagery for multispectral sensors as an unsupervised image-to-image translation problem with partial labels and introduce a novel shared spectral reconstruction loss. Simulated experiments performed by dropping one or more spectral bands show that cross-domain reconstruction outperforms measurements obtained from a second vantage point. On a downstream cloud detection task, we show that generating synthetic bands with our model improves segmentation performance beyond our baseline. Our proposed approach enables synchronization of multispectral data and provides a basis for more homogeneous remote sensing datasets.

Abstract: The Endoscopy Computer Vision Challenge (EndoCV) is a crowd-sourcing initiative to address eminent problems in developing reliable computer aided detection and diagnosis endoscopy systems and suggest a pathway for clinical translation of technologies. Whilst endoscopy is a widely used diagnostic and treatment tool for hollow-organs, there are several core challenges often faced by endoscopists, mainly: 1) presence of multi-class artefacts that hinder their visual interpretation, and 2) difficulty in identifying subtle precancerous precursors and cancer abnormalities. Artefacts often affect the robustness of deep learning methods applied to the gastrointestinal tract organs as they can be confused with tissue of interest. EndoCV2020 challenges are designed to address research questions in these remits. In this paper, we present a summary of methods developed by the top 17 teams and provide an objective comparison of state-of-the-art methods and methods designed by the participants for two sub-challenges: i) artefact detection and segmentation (EAD2020), and ii) disease detection and segmentation (EDD2020). Multi-center, multi-organ, multi-class, and multi-modal clinical endoscopy datasets were compiled for both EAD2020 and EDD2020 sub-challenges. An out-of-sample generalisation ability of detection algorithms was also evaluated. Whilst most teams focused on accuracy improvements, only a few methods hold credibility for clinical usability. The best performing teams provided solutions to tackle class imbalance, and variabilities in size, origin, modality and occurrences by exploring data augmentation, data fusion, and optimal class thresholding techniques.

Abstract: Understanding the relationship between figures and text is key to scientific document understanding. Medical figures in particular are quite complex, often consisting of several subfigures (75% of figures in our dataset), with detailed text describing their content. Previous work studying figures in scientific papers focused on classifying figure content rather than understanding how images relate to the text. To address challenges in figure retrieval and figure-to-text alignment, we introduce MedICaT, a dataset of medical images in context. MedICaT consists of 217K images from 131K open access biomedical papers, and includes captions, inline references for 74% of figures, and manually annotated subfigures and subcaptions for a subset of figures. Using MedICaT, we introduce the task of subfigure to subcaption alignment in compound figures and demonstrate the utility of inline references in image-text matching.

Abstract: Shape and texture are two prominent and complementary cues for recognizing objects. Nonetheless, Convolutional Neural Networks are often biased towards either texture or shape, depending on the training dataset. Our ablation shows that such bias degenerates model performance. Motivated by this observation, we develop a simple algorithm for shape-texture debiased learning. To prevent models from exclusively attending on a single cue in representation learning, we augment training data with images with conflicting shape and texture information (e.g., an image of chimpanzee shape but with lemon texture) and, most importantly, provide the corresponding supervisions from shape and texture simultaneously. Experiments show that our method successfully improves model performance on several image recognition benchmarks and adversarial robustness. For example, by training on ImageNet, it helps ResNet-152 achieve substantial improvements on ImageNet (+1.2%), ImageNet-A (+5.2%), ImageNet-C (+8.3%) and Stylized-ImageNet (+11.1%), and on defending against FGSM adversarial attacker on ImageNet (+14.4%). Our method also claims to be compatible to other advanced data augmentation strategies, e.g., Mixup and CutMix. The code is available here: this https URL.

Abstract: Assessment of spontaneous movements can predict the long-term developmental outcomes in high-risk infants. In order to develop algorithms for automated prediction of later function based on early motor repertoire, high-precision tracking of segments and joints are required. Four types of convolutional neural networks were investigated on a novel infant pose dataset, covering the large variation in 1 424 videos from a clinical international community. The precision level of the networks was evaluated as the deviation between the estimated keypoint positions and human expert annotations. The computational efficiency was also assessed to determine the feasibility of the neural networks in clinical practice. The study shows that the precision of the best performing infant motion tracker is similar to the inter-rater error of human experts, while still operating efficiently. In conclusion, the proposed tracking of infant movements can pave the way for early detection of motor disorders in children with perinatal brain injuries by quantifying infant movements from video recordings with human precision.

  Daniel J. Fremont, Edward Kim, Tommaso Dreossi, Shromona Ghosh, Xiangyu Yue, Alberto L. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, Sanjit A. Seshia
Abstract: We propose a new probabilistic programming language for the design and analysis of cyber-physical systems, especially those based on machine learning. Specifically, we consider the problems of training a system to be robust to rare events, testing its performance under different conditions, and debugging failures. We show how a probabilistic programming language can help address these problems by specifying distributions encoding interesting types of inputs, then sampling these to generate specialized training and test data. More generally, such languages can be used to write environment models, an essential prerequisite to any formal analysis. In this paper, we focus on systems like autonomous cars and robots, whose environment at any point in time is a 'scene', a configuration of physical objects and agents. We design a domain-specific language, Scenic, for describing scenarios that are distributions over scenes and the behaviors of their agents over time. As a probabilistic programming language, Scenic allows assigning distributions to features of the scene, as well as declaratively imposing hard and soft constraints over the scene. We develop specialized techniques for sampling from the resulting distribution, taking advantage of the structure provided by Scenic's domain-specific syntax. Finally, we apply Scenic in a case study on a convolutional neural network designed to detect cars in road images, improving its performance beyond that achieved by state-of-the-art synthetic data generation methods.

46. Does my multimodal model learn cross-modal interactions? It's harder to tell than you might think! [PDF] 返回目录
  Jack Hessel, Lillian Lee
Abstract: Modeling expressive cross-modal interactions seems crucial in multimodal tasks, such as visual question answering. However, sometimes high-performing black-box algorithms turn out to be mostly exploiting unimodal signals in the data. We propose a new diagnostic tool, empirical multimodally-additive function projection (EMAP), for isolating whether or not cross-modal interactions improve performance for a given model on a given task. This function projection modifies model predictions so that cross-modal interactions are eliminated, isolating the additive, unimodal structure. For seven image+text classification tasks (on each of which we set new state-of-the-art benchmarks), we find that, in many cases, removing cross-modal interactions results in little to no performance degradation. Surprisingly, this holds even when expressive models, with capacity to consider interactions, otherwise outperform less expressive models; thus, performance improvements, even when present, often cannot be attributed to consideration of cross-modal feature interactions. We hence recommend that researchers in multimodal machine learning report the performance not only of unimodal baselines, but also the EMAP of their best-performing model.

  Behzad Ghazanfari, Fatemeh Afghah, Sixian Zhang
Abstract: This paper proposes piece-wise matching layer as a novel layer in representation learning methods for electrocardiogram (ECG) classification. Despite the remarkable performance of representation learning methods in the analysis of time series, there are still several challenges associated with these methods ranging from the complex structures of methods, the lack of generality of solutions, the need for expert knowledge, and large-scale training datasets. We introduce the piece-wise matching layer that works based on two levels to address some of the aforementioned challenges. At the first level, a set of morphological, statistical, and frequency features and comparative forms of them are computed based on each periodic part and its neighbors. At the second level, these features are modified by predefined transformation functions based on a receptive field scenario. Several scenarios of offline processing, incremental processing, fixed sliding receptive field, and event-based triggering receptive field can be implemented based on the choice of length and mechanism of indicating the receptive field. We propose dynamic time wrapping as a mechanism that indicates a receptive field based on event triggering tactics. To evaluate the performance of this method in time series analysis, we applied the proposed layer in two publicly available datasets of PhysioNet competitions in 2015 and 2017 where the input data is ECG signal. We compared the performance of our method against a variety of known tuned methods from expert knowledge, machine learning, deep learning methods, and the combination of them. The proposed approach improves the state of the art in two known completions 2015 and 2017 around 4% and 7% correspondingly while it does not rely on in advance knowledge of the classes or the possible places of arrhythmia.

  Saman Motamed, Patrik Rogalla, Farzad Khalvati
Abstract: COVID-19 spread across the globe at an immense rate has left healthcare systems incapacitated to diagnose and test patients at the needed rate. Studies have shown promising results for detection of COVID-19 from viral bacterial pneumonia in chest X-rays. Automation of COVID-19 testing using medical images can speed up the testing process of patients where health care systems lack sufficient numbers of the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests. Supervised deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) need enough labeled data for all classes to correctly learn the task of detection. Gathering labeled data is a cumbersome task and requires time and resources which could further strain health care systems and radiologists at the early stages of a pandemic such as COVID-19. In this study, we propose a randomized generative adversarial network (RANDGAN) that detects images of an unknown class (COVID-19) from known and labelled classes (Normal and Viral Pneumonia) without the need for labels and training data from the unknown class of images (COVID-19). We used the largest publicly available COVID-19 chest X-ray dataset, COVIDx, which is comprised of Normal, Pneumonia, and COVID-19 images from multiple public databases. In this work, we use transfer learning to segment the lungs in the COVIDx dataset. Next, we show why segmentation of the region of interest (lungs) is vital to correctly learn the task of classification, specifically in datasets that contain images from different resources as it is the case for the COVIDx dataset. Finally, we show improved results in detection of COVID-19 cases using our generative model (RANDGAN) compared to conventional generative adversarial networks (GANs) for anomaly detection in medical images, improving the area under the ROC curve from 0.71 to 0.77.

Abstract: Transfer learning has been recently popularized as a data-efficient alternative to training models from scratch, in particular in vision and NLP where it provides a remarkably solid baseline. The emergence of rich model repositories, such as TensorFlow Hub, enables the practitioners and researchers to unleash the potential of these models across a wide range of downstream tasks. As these repositories keep growing exponentially, efficiently selecting a good model for the task at hand becomes paramount. We provide a formalization of this problem through a familiar notion of regret and introduce the predominant strategies, namely task-agnostic (e.g. picking the highest scoring ImageNet model) and task-aware search strategies (such as linear or kNN evaluation). We conduct a large-scale empirical study and show that both task-agnostic and task-aware methods can yield high regret. We then propose a simple and computationally efficient hybrid search strategy which outperforms the existing approaches. We highlight the practical benefits of the proposed solution on a set of 19 diverse vision tasks.

Abstract: The material eroded from the surface of plasma facing components is redeposited partly close to high heat flux areas. At these locations, the deposit is heated by the plasma and the deposition pattern evolves depending on the operation parameters. The mapping of the deposit is still a matter of intense scientific activity, especially during the course of experimental campaigns. A method based on the comparison of surface temperature maps, obtained in situ by infrared cameras and by theoretical modelling is proposed. The difference between the two is attributed to the thermal resistance added by deposited material, and expressed as a deposit thickness. The method benefits of elaborated imaging techniques such as possibility theory and fuzzy logics. The results are consistent with deposit maps obtained by visual inspection during shutdowns.

Abstract: The hemocompatibility of blood-contacting medical devices remains one of the major challenges in biomedical engineering and makes research in the field of new and improved materials inevitable. However, current in-vitro test and analysis methods are still lacking standardization and comparability, which impedes advances in material design. For example, the optical platelet analysis of material in-vitro hemocompatibility tests is carried out manually or semi-manually by each research group individually. As a step towards standardization, this paper proposes an automation approach for the optical platelet count and analysis. To this end, fluorescence images are segmented using Zach's convexification of the multiphase-phase piecewise constant Mumford--Shah model. The resulting connected components of the non-background segments then need to be classified as platelet or no platelet. Therefore, a supervised random forest is applied to feature vectors derived from the components using features like area, perimeter and circularity. With an overall high accuracy and low error rates, the random forest achieves reliable results. This is supported by high areas under the receiver-operator and the prediction-recall curve, respectively. We developed a new method for a fast, user-independent and reproducible analysis of material hemocompatibility tests, which is therefore a unique and powerful tool for advances in biomaterial research.

Abstract: Quantum machine learning is expected to be one of the first practical applications of near-term quantum devices. Pioneer theoretical works suggest that quantum generative adversarial networks (GANs) may exhibit a potential exponential advantage over classical GANs, thus attracting widespread attention. However, it remains elusive whether quantum GANs implemented on near-term quantum devices can actually solve real-world learning tasks. Here, we devise a flexible quantum GAN scheme to narrow this knowledge gap, which could accomplish image generation with arbitrarily high-dimensional features, and could also take advantage of quantum superposition to train multiple examples in parallel. For the first time, we experimentally achieve the learning and generation of real-world hand-written digit images on a superconducting quantum processor. Moreover, we utilize a gray-scale bar dataset to exhibit the competitive performance between quantum GANs and the classical GANs based on multilayer perceptron and convolutional neural network architectures, respectively, benchmarked by the Fréchet Distance score. Our work provides guidance for developing advanced quantum generative models on near-term quantum devices and opens up an avenue for exploring quantum advantages in various GAN-related learning tasks.

Abstract: To address COVID-19 healthcare challenges, we need frequent sharing of health data, knowledge and resources at a global scale. However, in this digital age, data privacy is a big concern that requires the secure embedding of privacy assurance into the design of all technological solutions that use health data. In this paper, we introduce differential privacy by design (dPbD) framework and discuss its embedding into the federated machine learning system. To limit the scope of our paper, we focus on the problem scenario of COVID-19 imaging data privacy for disease diagnosis by computer vision and deep learning approaches. We discuss the evaluation of the proposed design of federated machine learning systems and discuss how differential privacy by design (dPbD) framework can enhance data privacy in federated learning systems with scalability and robustness. We argue that scalable differentially private federated learning design is a promising solution for building a secure, private and collaborative machine learning model such as required to combat COVID19 challenge.

  Felipe Farias, Teresa Ludermir, Carmelo Bastos-Filho
Abstract: We propose a Similarity-Based Stratified Splitting (SBSS) technique, which uses both the output and input space information to split the data. The splits are generated using similarity functions among samples to place similar samples in different splits. This approach allows for a better representation of the data in the training phase. This strategy leads to a more realistic performance estimation when used in real-world applications. We evaluate our proposal in twenty-two benchmark datasets with classifiers such as Multi-Layer Perceptron, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest and K-Nearest Neighbors, and five similarity functions Cityblock, Chebyshev, Cosine, Correlation, and Euclidean. According to the Wilcoxon Sign-Rank test, our approach consistently outperformed ordinary stratified 10-fold cross-validation in 75\% of the assessed scenarios.

  Feihu Huang, Shangqian Gao, Heng Huang
Abstract: In the paper, we study a class of useful non-convex minimax optimization problems on the Riemanian manifold and propose a class of Riemanian gradient descent ascent algorithms to solve these minimax problems. Specifically, we propose a new Riemannian gradient descent ascent (RGDA) algorithm for the deterministic minimax optimization. Moreover, we prove that the RGDA has a sample complexity of $O(\kappa^2\epsilon^{-2})$ for finding an $\epsilon$-stationary point of the nonconvex strongly-concave minimax problems, where $\kappa$ denotes the condition number. At the same time, we introduce a Riemannian stochastic gradient descent ascent (RSGDA) algorithm for the stochastic minimax optimization. In the theoretical analysis, we prove that the RSGDA can achieve a sample complexity of $O(\kappa^4\epsilon^{-4})$. To further reduce the sample complexity, we propose a novel momentum variance-reduced Riemannian stochastic gradient descent ascent (MVR-RSGDA) algorithm based on a new momentum variance-reduced technique of STORM. We prove that the MVR-RSGDA algorithm achieves a lower sample complexity of $\tilde{O}(\kappa^{4}\epsilon^{-3})$ without large batches, which reaches near the best known sample complexity for its Euclidean counterparts. This is the first study of the minimax optimization over the Riemannian manifold. Extensive experimental results on the robust deep neural networks training over Stiefel manifold demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed algorithms.

  Hunter Goddard, Lior Shamir
Abstract: Autonomous digital sky surveys such as Pan-STARRS have the ability to image a very large number of galactic and extra-galactic objects, and the large and complex nature of the image data reinforces the use of automation. Here we describe the design and implementation of a data analysis process for automatic broad morphology annotation of galaxies, and applied it to the data of Pan-STARRS DR1. The process is based on filters followed by a two-step convolutional neural network (CNN) classification. Training samples are generated by using an augmented and balanced set of manually classified galaxies. Results are evaluated for accuracy by comparison to the annotation of Pan-STARRS included in a previous broad morphology catalog of SDSS galaxies. Our analysis shows that a CNN combined with several filters is an effective approach for annotating the galaxies and removing unclean images. The catalog contains morphology labels for 1,662,190 galaxies with ~95% accuracy. The accuracy can be further improved by selecting labels above certain confidence thresholds. The catalog is publicly available.

57. Assessing Lesion Segmentation Bias of Neural Networks on Motion Corrupted Brain MRI [PDF] 返回目录
  Tejas Sudharshan Mathai, Yi Wang, Nathan Cross
Abstract: Patient motion during the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition process results in motion artifacts, which limits the ability of radiologists to provide a quantitative assessment of a condition visualized. Often times, radiologists either "see through" the artifacts with reduced diagnostic confidence, or the MR scans are rejected and patients are asked to be recalled and re-scanned. Presently, there are many published approaches that focus on MRI artifact detection and correction. However, the key question of the bias exhibited by these algorithms on motion corrupted MRI images is still unanswered. In this paper, we seek to quantify the bias in terms of the impact that different levels of motion artifacts have on the performance of neural networks engaged in a lesion segmentation task. Additionally, we explore the effect of a different learning strategy, curriculum learning, on the segmentation performance. Our results suggest that a network trained using curriculum learning is effective at compensating for different levels of motion artifacts, and improved the segmentation performance by ~9%-15% (p < 0.05) when compared against a conventional shuffled learning strategy on the same motion data. Within each motion category, it either improved or maintained the dice score. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to quantitatively assess the segmentation bias on various levels of motion artifacts present in a brain MRI image.

Abstract: Existing data on building destruction in conflict zones rely on eyewitness reports or manual detection, which makes it generally scarce, incomplete and potentially biased. This lack of reliable data imposes severe limitations for media reporting, humanitarian relief efforts, human rights monitoring, reconstruction initiatives, and academic studies of violent conflict. This article introduces an automated method of measuring destruction in high-resolution satellite images using deep learning techniques combined with data augmentation to expand training samples. We apply this method to the Syrian civil war and reconstruct the evolution of damage in major cities across the country. The approach allows generating destruction data with unprecedented scope, resolution, and frequency - only limited by the available satellite imagery - which can alleviate data limitations decisively.
摘要:在冲突地区建立销毁现有的数据依靠目击者报告或手动检测,这使得它一般稀少,不完整的和潜在的偏见。由于缺乏可靠的数据,增添了对媒体的监测报告严重的局限性,人道主义救济工作,人权,重建的举措,和暴力冲突的学术研究。本文介绍了使用深学习技术与数据增强组合以扩大训练样本测量高分辨率卫星图像破坏的自动化方法。我们这个方法适用于叙利亚内战和重建,在全国各大城市损伤的演变。该方法允许产生具有前所未有的范围,分辨率和频率销毁数据 - 仅由现有的卫星图像限制 - 其可以减轻数据的限制决定性。

59. Robots State Estimation and Observability Analysis Based on Statistical Motion Models [PDF] 返回目录

Abstract: This paper presents a generic motion model to capture mobile robots' dynamic behaviors (translation and rotation). The model is based on statistical models driven by white random processes and is formulated into a full state estimation algorithm based on the error-state extended Kalman filtering framework (ESEKF). Major benefits of this method are its versatility, being applicable to different robotic systems without accurately modeling the robots' specific dynamics, and ability to estimate the robot's (angular) acceleration, jerk, or higher-order dynamic states with low delay. Mathematical analysis with numerical simulations are presented to show the properties of the statistical model-based estimation framework and to reveal its connection to existing low-pass filters. Furthermore, a new paradigm is developed for robots observability analysis by developing Lie derivatives and associated partial differentiation directly on manifolds. It is shown that this new paradigm is much simpler and more natural than existing methods based on quaternion parameterizations. It is also scalable to high dimensional systems. A novel \textbf{\textit{thin}} set concept is introduced to characterize the unobservable subset of the system states, providing the theoretical foundation to observability analysis of robotic systems operating on manifolds and in high dimension. Finally, extensive experiments including full state estimation and extrinsic calibration (both POS-IMU and IMU-IMU) on a quadrotor UAV, a handheld platform and a ground vehicle are conducted. Comparisons with existing methods show that the proposed method can effectively estimate all extrinsic parameters, the robot's translation/angular acceleration and other state variables (e.g., position, velocity, attitude) of high accuracy and low delay.
摘要:本文提出了一种通用的运动模型来捕捉移动机器人的动态行为(平移和旋转)。该模型是基于由白色随机过程驱动的统计模型和配制成基于所述误差状态的满状态估计算法扩展卡尔曼滤波框架(ESEKF)。这种方法的主要好处是它的通用性,而无需精确地建模机器人的具体动态可应用于不同的机器人系统,并且以低延迟来估计机器人的(角)加速度,加加速度,或更高阶的动态状态的能力。与数值模拟数学分析都显示了基于统计模型的估计架构的性能,并揭示其现有的低通滤波器连接。此外,一个新的范例为机器人可观测性分析通过开发烈衍生物开发并直接在歧管相关联的偏微分。结果表明,这种新的模式要简单得多,比基于四元参数化现有的方法更自然。它也扩展到高维系统。一种新颖的\ textbf {\ textit {薄}}集的概念被引入到表征系统状态的不可观测的子集,提供了理论基础上歧管和在高维操作的机器人系统的观察性分析。最后,大量的实验包括全状态估计和外部校准(二者POS-IMU和IMU-IMU)上的四旋翼UAV,手持式平台和地面车辆中进行。与现有方法的比较表明,该方法可以有效地估计所有的外部参数,机器人的平移/角加速度和高准确度和低延时其他状态变量(例如,位置,速度,姿势)。
