Kervolutional Neural Networks
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have enabled the state-of-the-art
performance in many computer vision tasks. However, little effort has been
devoted to establishing convolution in non-linear space. Existing works mainly
leverage on the activation layers, which can only provide point-wise
non-linearity. To solve this problem, a new operation, kervolution (kernel
convolution), is introduced to approximate complex behaviors of human
perception systems leveraging on the kernel trick. It generalizes convolution,
enhances the model capacity, and captures higher order interactions of
features, via patch-wise kernel functions, but without introducing additional
parameters. Extensive experiments show that kervolutional neural networks (KNN)
achieve higher accuracy and faster convergence than baseline CNN.Comment: oral paper in CVPR 201
Learning Spatial-Aware Regressions for Visual Tracking
In this paper, we analyze the spatial information of deep features, and
propose two complementary regressions for robust visual tracking. First, we
propose a kernelized ridge regression model wherein the kernel value is defined
as the weighted sum of similarity scores of all pairs of patches between two
samples. We show that this model can be formulated as a neural network and thus
can be efficiently solved. Second, we propose a fully convolutional neural
network with spatially regularized kernels, through which the filter kernel
corresponding to each output channel is forced to focus on a specific region of
the target. Distance transform pooling is further exploited to determine the
effectiveness of each output channel of the convolution layer. The outputs from
the kernelized ridge regression model and the fully convolutional neural
network are combined to obtain the ultimate response. Experimental results on
two benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.Comment: To appear in CVPR201
