Vehicle-Rear: A New Dataset to Explore Feature Fusion for Vehicle Identification Using Convolutional Neural Networks
This work addresses the problem of vehicle identification through
non-overlapping cameras. As our main contribution, we introduce a novel dataset
for vehicle identification, called Vehicle-Rear, that contains more than three
hours of high-resolution videos, with accurate information about the make,
model, color and year of nearly 3,000 vehicles, in addition to the position and
identification of their license plates. To explore our dataset we design a
two-stream CNN that simultaneously uses two of the most distinctive and
persistent features available: the vehicle's appearance and its license plate.
This is an attempt to tackle a major problem: false alarms caused by vehicles
with similar designs or by very close license plate identifiers. In the first
network stream, shape similarities are identified by a Siamese CNN that uses a
pair of low-resolution vehicle patches recorded by two different cameras. In
the second stream, we use a CNN for OCR to extract textual information,
confidence scores, and string similarities from a pair of high-resolution
license plate patches. Then, features from both streams are merged by a
sequence of fully connected layers for decision. In our experiments, we
compared the two-stream network against several well-known CNN architectures
using single or multiple vehicle features. The architectures, trained models,
and dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/icarofua/vehicle-rear
A Survey on Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis
Deep learning algorithms, in particular convolutional networks, have rapidly
become a methodology of choice for analyzing medical images. This paper reviews
the major deep learning concepts pertinent to medical image analysis and
summarizes over 300 contributions to the field, most of which appeared in the
last year. We survey the use of deep learning for image classification, object
detection, segmentation, registration, and other tasks and provide concise
overviews of studies per application area. Open challenges and directions for
future research are discussed.Comment: Revised survey includes expanded discussion section and reworked
introductory section on common deep architectures. Added missed papers from
before Feb 1st 201
Deep Architectures and Ensembles for Semantic Video Classification
This work addresses the problem of accurate semantic labelling of short
videos. To this end, a multitude of different deep nets, ranging from
traditional recurrent neural networks (LSTM, GRU), temporal agnostic networks
(FV,VLAD,BoW), fully connected neural networks mid-stage AV fusion and others.
Additionally, we also propose a residual architecture-based DNN for video
classification, with state-of-the art classification performance at
significantly reduced complexity. Furthermore, we propose four new approaches
to diversity-driven multi-net ensembling, one based on fast correlation measure
and three incorporating a DNN-based combiner. We show that significant
performance gains can be achieved by ensembling diverse nets and we investigate
factors contributing to high diversity. Based on the extensive YouTube8M
dataset, we provide an in-depth evaluation and analysis of their behaviour. We
show that the performance of the ensemble is state-of-the-art achieving the
highest accuracy on the YouTube-8M Kaggle test data. The performance of the
ensemble of classifiers was also evaluated on the HMDB51 and UCF101 datasets,
and show that the resulting method achieves comparable accuracy with
state-of-the-art methods using similar input features
