Discrete Multi-modal Hashing with Canonical Views for Robust Mobile Landmark Search
Mobile landmark search (MLS) recently receives increasing attention for its
great practical values. However, it still remains unsolved due to two important
challenges. One is high bandwidth consumption of query transmission, and the
other is the huge visual variations of query images sent from mobile devices.
In this paper, we propose a novel hashing scheme, named as canonical view based
discrete multi-modal hashing (CV-DMH), to handle these problems via a novel
three-stage learning procedure. First, a submodular function is designed to
measure visual representativeness and redundancy of a view set. With it,
canonical views, which capture key visual appearances of landmark with limited
redundancy, are efficiently discovered with an iterative mining strategy.
Second, multi-modal sparse coding is applied to transform visual features from
multiple modalities into an intermediate representation. It can robustly and
adaptively characterize visual contents of varied landmark images with certain
canonical views. Finally, compact binary codes are learned on intermediate
representation within a tailored discrete binary embedding model which
preserves visual relations of images measured with canonical views and removes
the involved noises. In this part, we develop a new augmented Lagrangian
multiplier (ALM) based optimization method to directly solve the discrete
binary codes. We can not only explicitly deal with the discrete constraint, but
also consider the bit-uncorrelated constraint and balance constraint together.
Experiments on real world landmark datasets demonstrate the superior
performance of CV-DMH over several state-of-the-art methods
One-Class Classification: Taxonomy of Study and Review of Techniques
One-class classification (OCC) algorithms aim to build classification models
when the negative class is either absent, poorly sampled or not well defined.
This unique situation constrains the learning of efficient classifiers by
defining class boundary just with the knowledge of positive class. The OCC
problem has been considered and applied under many research themes, such as
outlier/novelty detection and concept learning. In this paper we present a
unified view of the general problem of OCC by presenting a taxonomy of study
for OCC problems, which is based on the availability of training data,
algorithms used and the application domains applied. We further delve into each
of the categories of the proposed taxonomy and present a comprehensive
literature review of the OCC algorithms, techniques and methodologies with a
focus on their significance, limitations and applications. We conclude our
paper by discussing some open research problems in the field of OCC and present
our vision for future research.Comment: 24 pages + 11 pages of references, 8 figure
Classification of Time-Series Images Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) has achieved a great success in image
recognition task by automatically learning a hierarchical feature
representation from raw data. While the majority of Time-Series Classification
(TSC) literature is focused on 1D signals, this paper uses Recurrence Plots
(RP) to transform time-series into 2D texture images and then take advantage of
the deep CNN classifier. Image representation of time-series introduces
different feature types that are not available for 1D signals, and therefore
TSC can be treated as texture image recognition task. CNN model also allows
learning different levels of representations together with a classifier,
jointly and automatically. Therefore, using RP and CNN in a unified framework
is expected to boost the recognition rate of TSC. Experimental results on the
UCR time-series classification archive demonstrate competitive accuracy of the
proposed approach, compared not only to the existing deep architectures, but
also to the state-of-the art TSC algorithms.Comment: The 10th International Conference on Machine Vision (ICMV 2017
