Deep Exemplar 2D-3D Detection by Adapting from Real to Rendered Views
This paper presents an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) for
2D-3D exemplar detection. We demonstrate that the ability to adapt the features
of natural images to better align with those of CAD rendered views is critical
to the success of our technique. We show that the adaptation can be learned by
compositing rendered views of textured object models on natural images. Our
approach can be naturally incorporated into a CNN detection pipeline and
extends the accuracy and speed benefits from recent advances in deep learning
to 2D-3D exemplar detection. We applied our method to two tasks: instance
detection, where we evaluated on the IKEA dataset, and object category
detection, where we out-perform Aubry et al. for "chair" detection on a subset
of the Pascal VOC dataset.Comment: To appear in CVPR 201
A role for recurrent processing in object completion: neurophysiological, psychophysical and computational"evidence
Recognition of objects from partial information presents a significant
challenge for theories of vision because it requires spatial integration and
extrapolation from prior knowledge. We combined neurophysiological recordings
in human cortex with psychophysical measurements and computational modeling to
investigate the mechanisms involved in object completion. We recorded
intracranial field potentials from 1,699 electrodes in 18 epilepsy patients to
measure the timing and selectivity of responses along human visual cortex to
whole and partial objects. Responses along the ventral visual stream remained
selective despite showing only 9-25% of the object. However, these visually
selective signals emerged ~100 ms later for partial versus whole objects. The
processing delays were particularly pronounced in higher visual areas within
the ventral stream, suggesting the involvement of additional recurrent
processing. In separate psychophysics experiments, disrupting this recurrent
computation with a backward mask at ~75ms significantly impaired recognition of
partial, but not whole, objects. Additionally, computational modeling shows
that the performance of a purely bottom-up architecture is impaired by heavy
occlusion and that this effect can be partially rescued via the incorporation
of top-down connections. These results provide spatiotemporal constraints on
theories of object recognition that involve recurrent processing to recognize
objects from partial information
Data-Driven Shape Analysis and Processing
Data-driven methods play an increasingly important role in discovering
geometric, structural, and semantic relationships between 3D shapes in
collections, and applying this analysis to support intelligent modeling,
editing, and visualization of geometric data. In contrast to traditional
approaches, a key feature of data-driven approaches is that they aggregate
information from a collection of shapes to improve the analysis and processing
of individual shapes. In addition, they are able to learn models that reason
about properties and relationships of shapes without relying on hard-coded
rules or explicitly programmed instructions. We provide an overview of the main
concepts and components of these techniques, and discuss their application to
shape classification, segmentation, matching, reconstruction, modeling and
exploration, as well as scene analysis and synthesis, through reviewing the
literature and relating the existing works with both qualitative and numerical
comparisons. We conclude our report with ideas that can inspire future research
in data-driven shape analysis and processing.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figure
