Complex Event Recognition from Images with Few Training Examples
We propose to leverage concept-level representations for complex event
recognition in photographs given limited training examples. We introduce a
novel framework to discover event concept attributes from the web and use that
to extract semantic features from images and classify them into social event
categories with few training examples. Discovered concepts include a variety of
objects, scenes, actions and event sub-types, leading to a discriminative and
compact representation for event images. Web images are obtained for each
discovered event concept and we use (pretrained) CNN features to train concept
classifiers. Extensive experiments on challenging event datasets demonstrate
that our proposed method outperforms several baselines using deep CNN features
directly in classifying images into events with limited training examples. We
also demonstrate that our method achieves the best overall accuracy on a
dataset with unseen event categories using a single training example.Comment: Accepted to Winter Applications of Computer Vision (WACV'17
Image mining: trends and developments
[Abstract]: Advances in image acquisition and storage technology have led to tremendous growth in very large and detailed image databases. These images, if analyzed, can reveal useful information to the human users. Image mining deals with the extraction of implicit knowledge, image data relationship, or other patterns not explicitly stored in the images. Image mining is more than just an extension of data mining to image domain. It is an interdisciplinary endeavor that draws upon expertise in computer vision, image processing, image retrieval, data mining, machine learning, database, and artificial intelligence. In this paper, we will examine the research issues in image mining, current developments in image mining, particularly, image mining frameworks, state-of-the-art techniques and systems. We will also identify some future research directions for image mining
