Person Re-Identification by Deep Joint Learning of Multi-Loss Classification
Existing person re-identification (re-id) methods rely mostly on either
localised or global feature representation alone. This ignores their joint
benefit and mutual complementary effects. In this work, we show the advantages
of jointly learning local and global features in a Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) by aiming to discover correlated local and global features in different
context. Specifically, we formulate a method for joint learning of local and
global feature selection losses designed to optimise person re-id when using
only generic matching metrics such as the L2 distance. We design a novel CNN
architecture for Jointly Learning Multi-Loss (JLML) of local and global
discriminative feature optimisation subject concurrently to the same re-id
labelled information. Extensive comparative evaluations demonstrate the
advantages of this new JLML model for person re-id over a wide range of
state-of-the-art re-id methods on five benchmarks (VIPeR, GRID, CUHK01, CUHK03,
Market-1501).Comment: Accepted by IJCAI 201
No Spare Parts: Sharing Part Detectors for Image Categorization
This work aims for image categorization using a representation of distinctive
parts. Different from existing part-based work, we argue that parts are
naturally shared between image categories and should be modeled as such. We
motivate our approach with a quantitative and qualitative analysis by
backtracking where selected parts come from. Our analysis shows that in
addition to the category parts defining the class, the parts coming from the
background context and parts from other image categories improve categorization
performance. Part selection should not be done separately for each category,
but instead be shared and optimized over all categories. To incorporate part
sharing between categories, we present an algorithm based on AdaBoost to
jointly optimize part sharing and selection, as well as fusion with the global
image representation. We achieve results competitive to the state-of-the-art on
object, scene, and action categories, further improving over deep convolutional
neural networks
Harvesting Discriminative Meta Objects with Deep CNN Features for Scene Classification
Recent work on scene classification still makes use of generic CNN features
in a rudimentary manner. In this ICCV 2015 paper, we present a novel pipeline
built upon deep CNN features to harvest discriminative visual objects and parts
for scene classification. We first use a region proposal technique to generate
a set of high-quality patches potentially containing objects, and apply a
pre-trained CNN to extract generic deep features from these patches. Then we
perform both unsupervised and weakly supervised learning to screen these
patches and discover discriminative ones representing category-specific objects
and parts. We further apply discriminative clustering enhanced with local CNN
fine-tuning to aggregate similar objects and parts into groups, called meta
objects. A scene image representation is constructed by pooling the feature
response maps of all the learned meta objects at multiple spatial scales. We
have confirmed that the scene image representation obtained using this new
pipeline is capable of delivering state-of-the-art performance on two popular
scene benchmark datasets, MIT Indoor 67~\cite{MITIndoor67} and
Sun397~\cite{Sun397}Comment: To Appear in ICCV 201
