Grid Loss: Detecting Occluded Faces
Detection of partially occluded objects is a challenging computer vision
problem. Standard Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) detectors fail if parts of
the detection window are occluded, since not every sub-part of the window is
discriminative on its own. To address this issue, we propose a novel loss layer
for CNNs, named grid loss, which minimizes the error rate on sub-blocks of a
convolution layer independently rather than over the whole feature map. This
results in parts being more discriminative on their own, enabling the detector
to recover if the detection window is partially occluded. By mapping our loss
layer back to a regular fully connected layer, no additional computational cost
is incurred at runtime compared to standard CNNs. We demonstrate our method for
face detection on several public face detection benchmarks and show that our
method outperforms regular CNNs, is suitable for realtime applications and
achieves state-of-the-art performance.Comment: accepted to ECCV 201

Extended Object Tracking: Introduction, Overview and Applications
This article provides an elaborate overview of current research in extended
object tracking. We provide a clear definition of the extended object tracking
problem and discuss its delimitation to other types of object tracking. Next,
different aspects of extended object modelling are extensively discussed.
Subsequently, we give a tutorial introduction to two basic and well used
extended object tracking approaches - the random matrix approach and the Kalman
filter-based approach for star-convex shapes. The next part treats the tracking
of multiple extended objects and elaborates how the large number of feasible
association hypotheses can be tackled using both Random Finite Set (RFS) and
Non-RFS multi-object trackers. The article concludes with a summary of current
applications, where four example applications involving camera, X-band radar,
light detection and ranging (lidar), red-green-blue-depth (RGB-D) sensors are
highlighted.Comment: 30 pages, 19 figure
