Data-Driven Shape Analysis and Processing
Data-driven methods play an increasingly important role in discovering
geometric, structural, and semantic relationships between 3D shapes in
collections, and applying this analysis to support intelligent modeling,
editing, and visualization of geometric data. In contrast to traditional
approaches, a key feature of data-driven approaches is that they aggregate
information from a collection of shapes to improve the analysis and processing
of individual shapes. In addition, they are able to learn models that reason
about properties and relationships of shapes without relying on hard-coded
rules or explicitly programmed instructions. We provide an overview of the main
concepts and components of these techniques, and discuss their application to
shape classification, segmentation, matching, reconstruction, modeling and
exploration, as well as scene analysis and synthesis, through reviewing the
literature and relating the existing works with both qualitative and numerical
comparisons. We conclude our report with ideas that can inspire future research
in data-driven shape analysis and processing.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figure
Image Parsing with a Wide Range of Classes and Scene-Level Context
This paper presents a nonparametric scene parsing approach that improves the
overall accuracy, as well as the coverage of foreground classes in scene
images. We first improve the label likelihood estimates at superpixels by
merging likelihood scores from different probabilistic classifiers. This boosts
the classification performance and enriches the representation of
less-represented classes. Our second contribution consists of incorporating
semantic context in the parsing process through global label costs. Our method
does not rely on image retrieval sets but rather assigns a global likelihood
estimate to each label, which is plugged into the overall energy function. We
evaluate our system on two large-scale datasets, SIFTflow and LMSun. We achieve
state-of-the-art performance on the SIFTflow dataset and near-record results on
LMSun.Comment: Published at CVPR 2015, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

Automatic human face detection for content-based image annotation
In this paper, an automatic human face detection approach using colour analysis is applied for content-based image annotation. In the face detection, the probable face region is detected by adaptive boosting algorithm, and then combined with a colour filtering classifier to enhance the accuracy in face detection. The initial experimental benchmark shows the proposed scheme can be efficiently applied for image annotation with higher fidelity

Hybrid image representation methods for automatic image annotation: a survey
In most automatic image annotation systems, images are represented with low level features using either global
methods or local methods. In global methods, the entire image is used as a unit. Local methods divide images into blocks where fixed-size sub-image blocks are adopted as sub-units; or into regions by using segmented regions as sub-units in images. In contrast to typical automatic image annotation methods that use either global or local features exclusively, several recent methods have considered incorporating the two kinds of information, and believe that the combination of the two levels of features is
beneficial in annotating images. In this paper, we provide a
survey on automatic image annotation techniques according to
one aspect: feature extraction, and, in order to complement
existing surveys in literature, we focus on the emerging image annotation methods: hybrid methods that combine both global and local features for image representation
