부분 정보를 이용한 시각 데이터의 구조화 된 이해: 희소성, 무작위성, 연관성, 그리고 딥 네트워크

학위논문 (박사)-- 서울대학교 대학원 : 공과대학 전기·컴퓨터공학부, 2019. 2. Oh, Songhwai.For a deeper understanding of visual data, a relationship between local parts and a global scene has to be carefully examined. Examples of such relationships related to vision problems include but not limited to detecting a region of interest in the scene, classifying an image based on limited visual cues, and synthesizing new images conditioned on the local or global inputs. In this thesis, we aim to learn the relationship and demonstrate its importance by showing that it is one of critical keys to address four challenging vision problems mentioned above. For each problem, we construct deep neural networks that suit for each task. The first problem considered in the thesis is object detection. It requires not only finding local patches that look like target objects conditioned on the context of input scene but also comparing local patches themselves to assign a single detection for each object. To this end, we introduce individualness of detection candidates as a complement to objectness for object detection. The individualness assigns a single detection for each object out of raw detection candidates given by either object proposals or sliding windows. We show that conventional approaches, such as non-maximum suppression, are sub-optimal since they suppress nearby detections using only detection scores. We use a determinantal point process combined with the individualness to optimally select final detections. It models each detection using its quality and similarity to other detections based on the individualness. Then, detections with high detection scores and low correlations are selected by measuring their probability using a determinant of a matrix, which is composed of quality terms on the diagonal entries and similarities on the off-diagonal entries. For concreteness, we focus on the pedestrian detection problem as it is one of the most challenging problems due to frequent occlusions and unpredictable human motions. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm works favorably against existing methods, including non-maximal suppression and a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization based method. For a second problem, we classify images based on observations of local patches. More specifically, we consider the problem of estimating the head pose and body orientation of a person from a low-resolution image. Under this setting, it is difficult to reliably extract facial features or detect body parts. We propose a convolutional random projection forest (CRPforest) algorithm for these tasks. A convolutional random projection network (CRPnet) is used at each node of the forest. It maps an input image to a high-dimensional feature space using a rich filter bank. The filter bank is designed to generate sparse responses so that they can be efficiently computed by compressive sensing. A sparse random projection matrix can capture most essential information contained in the filter bank without using all the filters in it. Therefore, the CRPnet is fast, e.g., it requires 0.04ms to process an image of 50×50 pixels, due to the small number of convolutions (e.g., 0.01% of a layer of a neural network) at the expense of less than 2% accuracy. The overall forest estimates head and body pose well on benchmark datasets, e.g., over 98% on the HIIT dataset, while requiring at 3.8ms without using a GPU. Extensive experiments on challenging datasets show that the proposed algorithm performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods in low-resolution images with noise, occlusion, and motion blur. Then, we shift our attention to image synthesis based on the local-global relationship. Learning how to synthesize and place object instances into an image (semantic map) based on the scene context is a challenging and interesting problem in vision and learning. On one hand, solving this problem requires a joint decision of (a) generating an object mask from a certain class at a plausible scale, location, and shape, and (b) inserting the object instance mask into an existing scene so that the synthesized content is semantically realistic. On the other hand, such a model can synthesize realistic outputs to potentially facilitate numerous image editing and scene parsing tasks. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end trainable neural network that can synthesize and insert object instances into an image via a semantic map. The proposed network contains two generative modules that determine where the inserted object should be (i.e., location and scale) and what the object shape (and pose) should look like. The two modules are connected together with a spatial transformation network and jointly trained and optimized in a purely data-driven way. Specifically, we propose a novel network architecture with parallel supervised and unsupervised paths to guarantee diverse results. We show that the proposed network architecture learns the context-aware distribution of the location and shape of object instances to be inserted, and it can generate realistic and statistically meaningful object instances that simultaneously address the where and what sub-problems. As the final topic of the thesis, we introduce a new vision problem: generating an image based on a small number of key local patches without any geometric prior. In this work, key local patches are defined as informative regions of the target object or scene. This is a challenging problem since it requires generating realistic images and predicting locations of parts at the same time. We construct adversarial networks to tackle this problem. A generator network generates a fake image as well as a mask based on the encoder-decoder framework. On the other hand, a discriminator network aims to detect fake images. The network is trained with three losses to consider spatial, appearance, and adversarial information. The spatial loss determines whether the locations of predicted parts are correct. Input patches are restored in the output image without much modification due to the appearance loss. The adversarial loss ensures output images are realistic. The proposed network is trained without supervisory signals since no labels of key parts are required. Experimental results on seven datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithm performs favorably on challenging objects and scenes.시각 데이터를 심도 깊게 이해하기 위해서는 전체 영역과 부분 영역들 간의 연관성 혹은 상호 작용을 주의 깊게 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 관련된 컴퓨터 비전 문제로는 이미지에서 원하는 부분을 검출한다던지, 제한된 부분적인 정보만으로 전체 이미지를 판별 하거나, 혹은 주어진 정보로부터 원하는 이미지를 생성하는 등이 있다. 이 논문에서는, 그 연관성을 학습하는 것이 앞서 언급된 다양한 문제들을 푸는데 중요한 열쇠가 된다는 것을 보여주고자 한다. 이에 더해서, 각각의 문제에 알맞는 딥 네트워크의 디자인 또한 토의하고자 한다. 첫 주제로, 물체 검출 방식에 대해 분석하고자 한다. 이 문제는 타겟 물체와 비슷하게 생긴 영역을 찾아야 할 뿐 아니라, 찾아진 영역들 사이에 연관성을 분석함으로써 각 물체 마다 단 하나의 검출 결과를 할당시켜야 한다. 이를 위해, 우리는 objectness에 대한 보완으로써 individualness라는 개념을 제안 하였다. 이는 임의의 방식으로 얻어진 후보 물체 영역 중 하나씩을 물체 마다 할당하는데 쓰이는데, 이것은 검출 스코어만을 바탕으로 후처리를 하는 기존의 non-maximum suppression 등의 방식이 sub-optimal 결과를 얻을 수 밖에 없기 때문에 이를 개선하고자 도입하였다. 우리는 후보 물체 영역으로부터 최적의 영역들을 선택하기 위해서, determinantal point process라는 random process의 일종을 사용하였다. 이것은 먼저 각각의 검출 결과를 그것의 quality(검출 스코어)와 다른 검출 결과들 사이에 individualness를 바탕으 로 계산된 similarity(상관 관계)를 이용해 모델링 한다. 그 후, 각각의 검출 결과가 선택될 확률을 quality와 similarity에 기반한 커널의 determinant로 표현한다. 그 커널에 diagonal 부분에는 quality가 들어가고, off-diagonal에는 similarity가 대입 된다. 따라서, 어떤 검출 후보가 최종 검출 결과로 선택될 확률이 높아지기 위해서는, 높은 quality를 가짐과 동시에 다른 검출 결과들과 낮은 similarity를 가져야 한다. 이 논문에서는 보행자 검출에 집중하였는데, 이는 보행자 검출이 중요한 문제이면서도, 다른 물체들에 비해 자주 가려지고 다양한 움직임을 보이는 검출이 어려운 물체이기 때문이다. 실험 결과는 제안한 방법이 non-maximum suppression 혹은 quadratic unconstrained binary optimization 방식들 보다 우수함을 보여주었다. 다음 문제로는, 부분 정보를 이용해서 전체 이미지를 classify하는 것을 고려한다. 다양한 classification 문제 중에, 이 논문에서는 저해상도 이미지로부터 사람의 머리와 몸이 향하는 방향을 알아내는 문제에 집중하였다. 이 경우에는, 눈, 코, 입 등을 찾거나, 몸의 파트를 정확히 알아내는 것이 어렵다. 이를 위해, 우리는 convolutional random projection forest (CRPforest)라는 방식을 제안하였다. 이 forest에 각각의 node 안에는 convolutional random projection network (CRPnet)이 들어있는데, 이는 다양한 필터를 이용해서 인풋 이미지를 높은 차원으로 mapping 한다. 이를 효율적으로 다루기 위해 sparse한 결과를 얻을 수 있는 필터들을 사용함으로써, 압축 센싱 개념을 도입 할 수 있도록 하였다. 즉, 실제로는 적은 수의 필터만을 사용해서 전체 이미지의 중요한 정보를 모두 담고자 하는 것이다. 따라서 CRPnet은 50×50 픽셀 이미지에서 0.04ms 만에 동작 할 수 있을 정도로 매우 빠르며, 동시에 성능 하락은 2% 정도로 미미한 결과를 보여주었다. 이를 바탕으로 한 전체 forest는 GPU 없이 3.8ms 안에 동작하며, 머리와 몸통 방향 측정에 대해 다양한 데이터셋에서 최고의 성능을 보여주었다. 또한, 저해상도, 노이즈, 가려짐, 블러 등의 다양한 경우에도 좋은 성능을 보여주었다. 다음으로 부분-전체의 연관성을 통한 이미지 생성 문제를 탐구한다. 입력 이미지 상에 어떤 물체를 어떻게 놓을 것인지를 유추하는 것은 컴퓨터 비전과 기계 학습의 입장에서 아주 흥미로운 문제이다. 이는 먼저, 물체의 마스크를 적절한 크기, 위치, 모양으로 만들면서 동시에 그 물체가 입력 이미지 상에 놓여졌을 때에도 합리적으로 보일 수 있도록 해야 한다. 그렇게 된다면, image editing 혹은 scene parsing 등의 다양한 문제에 응용 될 수 있다. 이 논문에서는, 입력 semantic map으로 부터 새로운 물체를 알맞은 곳에 놓는 문제를 end-to-end 방식으로 학습 가능한 딥 네트워크를 구성하고자 한다. 이를 위해, where 모듈과 what 모듈을 바탕으로 하는 네트워크를 구성하였으며, 두 모듈을 spatial transformer network을 통해 연결하여 동시에 학습이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한, 각각의 모듈에 지도적 학습 경로와 비지도적 학습 경로를 병렬적으로 배치하여 동일한 입력으로 부터 다양한 결과를 얻을 수 있게 하였다. 실험을 통해, 제안한 방식이 삽입될 물체의 위치와 모양에 대한 분포를 동시에 학습 할 수 있고, 그 분포로부터 실제와 유사한 물체를 알맞은 곳에 놓을 수 있음을 보였다. 마지막으로 고려할 문제는, 컴퓨터 비전 분야에 새로운 문제로써, 위치 정보가 상실 된 적은 수의 부분 패치들을 바탕으로 전체 이미지를 복원하는 것이다. 이것은 이미지 생성과 동시에 각 패치의 위치 정보를 추측해야 하기에 어려운 문제가 된다. 우리는 적대적 네트워크를 바탕으로 이 문제를 해결하고자 하였다. 즉, 생성 네트워크는 encoder-decoder 방식을 이용해서 이미지와 위치 마스크를 찾고자 하는 반면에, 판별 네트워크는 생성된 가짜 이미지를 찾으려고 한다. 그리고 전체 네트워크는 위치, 겉보기, 적대적 경쟁의 세 가지 목적 함수들로 학습이 된다. 위치 목적 함수는 알맞은 위치를 예측하기 위해 사용되었고, 겉보기 목적 함수는 입력 패치 들이 결과 이미지 상에 적은 변화만을 가지고 남아있도록 하기 위해 사용되었으며, 적대적 경쟁 목적 함수는 생성된 이미지가 실제 이미지와 비슷할 수 있도록 하기 위해 적용되었다. 이렇게 구성된 네트워크는 별도의 annotation 없이 기존 데이터셋 들을 바탕으로 학습이 가능한 장점이 있다. 또한 실험을 통해, 제안한 방식이 다양한 데이터셋에서 잘 동작함을 보였다.1

Human behavior understanding and intention prediction

Human motion, behaviors, and intention are governed by human perception, reasoning, common-sense rules, social conventions, and interactions with others and the surrounding environment. Humans can effectively predict short-term body motion, behaviors, and intention of others and respond accordingly. The ability for a machine to learn, analyze, and predict human motion, behaviors, and intentions in complex environments is highly valuable with a wide range of applications in social robots, intelligent systems, smart manufacturing, autonomous driving, and smart homes. In this thesis, we propose to address the above research question by focusing on three important problems: human pose estimation, temporal action localization and informatics, human motion trajectory and intention prediction. Specifically, in the first part of our work, we aim to develop an automatic system to track human pose, monitor and evaluate worker's efficiency for smart workforce management based on human body pose estimation and temporal activity localization. We have developed a deep learning based method to accurately detect human body joints and track human motion. We use the generative adversarial networks (GANs) for adversarial training to better learn human pose and body configurations, especially in highly cluttered environments. In the second step, we have formulated the automated worker efficiency analysis into a temporal action localization problem in which the action video performed by the worker is matched against a reference video performed by a teacher using dynamic time warping. In the second part of our work, we have developed a new idea, called reciprocal learning, based on the following important observation: the human trajectory is not only forward predictable, but also backward predictable. Both forward and backward trajectories follow the same social norms and obey the same physical constraints with the only difference in their time directions. Based on this unique property, we design and couple two networks, forward and backward prediction networks, satisfying the reciprocal constraint, which allows them to be jointly learned. Based on this constraint, we borrow the concept of adversarial attacks of deep neural networks, which iteratively modifies the input of the network to match the given or forced network output, and develop a new method for network prediction, called reciprocal attack for matched prediction. It further improves the prediction accuracy. In the third part of our work, we have observed that human's future trajectory is not only affected by other pedestrians but also impacted by the surrounding objects in the scene. We propose a novel hierarchical framework based on a recurrent sequence-to-sequence architecture to model both human-human and human-scene interactions. Our experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our new method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for human trajectory prediction.Includes bibliographical references (pages 108-129)
