Grounding semantics in robots for Visual Question Answering
In this thesis I describe an operational implementation of an object detection and description system that incorporates in an end-to-end Visual Question Answering system and evaluated it on two visual question answering datasets for compositional language and elementary visual reasoning
Review of Person Re-identification Techniques
Person re-identification across different surveillance cameras with disjoint
fields of view has become one of the most interesting and challenging subjects
in the area of intelligent video surveillance. Although several methods have
been developed and proposed, certain limitations and unresolved issues remain.
In all of the existing re-identification approaches, feature vectors are
extracted from segmented still images or video frames. Different similarity or
dissimilarity measures have been applied to these vectors. Some methods have
used simple constant metrics, whereas others have utilised models to obtain
optimised metrics. Some have created models based on local colour or texture
information, and others have built models based on the gait of people. In
general, the main objective of all these approaches is to achieve a
higher-accuracy rate and lowercomputational costs. This study summarises
several developments in recent literature and discusses the various available
methods used in person re-identification. Specifically, their advantages and
disadvantages are mentioned and compared.Comment: Published 201
Self-Selective Correlation Ship Tracking Method for Smart Ocean System
In recent years, with the development of the marine industry, navigation
environment becomes more complicated. Some artificial intelligence
technologies, such as computer vision, can recognize, track and count the
sailing ships to ensure the maritime security and facilitates the management
for Smart Ocean System. Aiming at the scaling problem and boundary effect
problem of traditional correlation filtering methods, we propose a
self-selective correlation filtering method based on box regression (BRCF). The
proposed method mainly include: 1) A self-selective model with negative samples
mining method which effectively reduces the boundary effect in strengthening
the classification ability of classifier at the same time; 2) A bounding box
regression method combined with a key points matching method for the scale
prediction, leading to a fast and efficient calculation. The experimental
results show that the proposed method can effectively deal with the problem of
ship size changes and background interference. The success rates and precisions
were higher than Discriminative Scale Space Tracking (DSST) by over 8
percentage points on the marine traffic dataset of our laboratory. In terms of
processing speed, the proposed method is higher than DSST by nearly 22 Frames

Audio-visual foreground extraction for event characterization
This paper presents a new method able to integrate audio and visual information for scene analysis in a typical surveillance scenario, using only one camera and one monaural microphone. Visual information is analyzed by a standard visual background/foreground (BG/FG) modelling module, enhanced with a novelty detection stage, and coupled with an audio BG/FG modelling scheme. The audiovisual association is performed on-line, by exploiting the concept of synchrony. Experimental tests carrying out classification and clustering of events show all the potentialities of the proposed approach, also in comparison with the results obtained by using the single modalities
