Classification via Incoherent Subspaces
This article presents a new classification framework that can extract
individual features per class. The scheme is based on a model of incoherent
subspaces, each one associated to one class, and a model on how the elements in
a class are represented in this subspace. After the theoretical analysis an
alternate projection algorithm to find such a collection is developed. The
classification performance and speed of the proposed method is tested on the AR
and YaleB databases and compared to that of Fisher's LDA and a recent approach
based on on minimisation. Finally connections of the presented scheme
to already existing work are discussed and possible ways of extensions are
pointed out.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures, 4 table
AnchorNet: A Weakly Supervised Network to Learn Geometry-sensitive Features For Semantic Matching
Despite significant progress of deep learning in recent years,
state-of-the-art semantic matching methods still rely on legacy features such
as SIFT or HoG. We argue that the strong invariance properties that are key to
the success of recent deep architectures on the classification task make them
unfit for dense correspondence tasks, unless a large amount of supervision is
used. In this work, we propose a deep network, termed AnchorNet, that produces
image representations that are well-suited for semantic matching. It relies on
a set of filters whose response is geometrically consistent across different
object instances, even in the presence of strong intra-class, scale, or
viewpoint variations. Trained only with weak image-level labels, the final
representation successfully captures information about the object structure and
improves results of state-of-the-art semantic matching methods such as the
deformable spatial pyramid or the proposal flow methods. We show positive
results on the cross-instance matching task where different instances of the
same object category are matched as well as on a new cross-category semantic
matching task aligning pairs of instances each from a different object class.Comment: Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern

Learning Spectral-Spatial-Temporal Features via a Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network for Change Detection in Multispectral Imagery
Change detection is one of the central problems in earth observation and was
extensively investigated over recent decades. In this paper, we propose a novel
recurrent convolutional neural network (ReCNN) architecture, which is trained
to learn a joint spectral-spatial-temporal feature representation in a unified
framework for change detection in multispectral images. To this end, we bring
together a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a recurrent neural network
(RNN) into one end-to-end network. The former is able to generate rich
spectral-spatial feature representations, while the latter effectively analyzes
temporal dependency in bi-temporal images. In comparison with previous
approaches to change detection, the proposed network architecture possesses
three distinctive properties: 1) It is end-to-end trainable, in contrast to
most existing methods whose components are separately trained or computed; 2)
it naturally harnesses spatial information that has been proven to be
beneficial to change detection task; 3) it is capable of adaptively learning
the temporal dependency between multitemporal images, unlike most of algorithms
that use fairly simple operation like image differencing or stacking. As far as
we know, this is the first time that a recurrent convolutional network
architecture has been proposed for multitemporal remote sensing image analysis.
The proposed network is validated on real multispectral data sets. Both visual
and quantitative analysis of experimental results demonstrates competitive
performance in the proposed mode
