Crowdsourcing in Computer Vision
Computer vision systems require large amounts of manually annotated data to
properly learn challenging visual concepts. Crowdsourcing platforms offer an
inexpensive method to capture human knowledge and understanding, for a vast
number of visual perception tasks. In this survey, we describe the types of
annotations computer vision researchers have collected using crowdsourcing, and
how they have ensured that this data is of high quality while annotation effort
is minimized. We begin by discussing data collection on both classic (e.g.,
object recognition) and recent (e.g., visual story-telling) vision tasks. We
then summarize key design decisions for creating effective data collection
interfaces and workflows, and present strategies for intelligently selecting
the most important data instances to annotate. Finally, we conclude with some
thoughts on the future of crowdsourcing in computer vision.Comment: A 69-page meta review of the field, Foundations and Trends in

Anticipating Visual Representations from Unlabeled Video
Anticipating actions and objects before they start or appear is a difficult
problem in computer vision with several real-world applications. This task is
challenging partly because it requires leveraging extensive knowledge of the
world that is difficult to write down. We believe that a promising resource for
efficiently learning this knowledge is through readily available unlabeled
video. We present a framework that capitalizes on temporal structure in
unlabeled video to learn to anticipate human actions and objects. The key idea
behind our approach is that we can train deep networks to predict the visual
representation of images in the future. Visual representations are a promising
prediction target because they encode images at a higher semantic level than
pixels yet are automatic to compute. We then apply recognition algorithms on
our predicted representation to anticipate objects and actions. We
experimentally validate this idea on two datasets, anticipating actions one
second in the future and objects five seconds in the future.Comment: CVPR 201
Human Motion Trajectory Prediction: A Survey
With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments,
the ability of such systems to perceive, understand and anticipate human
behavior becomes increasingly important. Specifically, predicting future
positions of dynamic agents and planning considering such predictions are key
tasks for self-driving vehicles, service robots and advanced surveillance
systems. This paper provides a survey of human motion trajectory prediction. We
review, analyze and structure a large selection of work from different
communities and propose a taxonomy that categorizes existing methods based on
the motion modeling approach and level of contextual information used. We
provide an overview of the existing datasets and performance metrics. We
discuss limitations of the state of the art and outline directions for further
research.Comment: Submitted to the International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR),
