Multi-view Convolutional Neural Networks for 3D Shape Recognition
A longstanding question in computer vision concerns the representation of 3D
shapes for recognition: should 3D shapes be represented with descriptors
operating on their native 3D formats, such as voxel grid or polygon mesh, or
can they be effectively represented with view-based descriptors? We address
this question in the context of learning to recognize 3D shapes from a
collection of their rendered views on 2D images. We first present a standard
CNN architecture trained to recognize the shapes' rendered views independently
of each other, and show that a 3D shape can be recognized even from a single
view at an accuracy far higher than using state-of-the-art 3D shape
descriptors. Recognition rates further increase when multiple views of the
shapes are provided. In addition, we present a novel CNN architecture that
combines information from multiple views of a 3D shape into a single and
compact shape descriptor offering even better recognition performance. The same
architecture can be applied to accurately recognize human hand-drawn sketches
of shapes. We conclude that a collection of 2D views can be highly informative
for 3D shape recognition and is amenable to emerging CNN architectures and
their derivatives.Comment: v1: Initial version. v2: An updated ModelNet40 training/test split is
used; results with low-rank Mahalanobis metric learning are added. v3 (ICCV
2015): A second camera setup without the upright orientation assumption is
added; some accuracy and mAP numbers are changed slightly because a small
issue in mesh rendering related to specularities is fixe
Deep Shape Matching
We cast shape matching as metric learning with convolutional networks. We
break the end-to-end process of image representation into two parts. Firstly,
well established efficient methods are chosen to turn the images into edge
maps. Secondly, the network is trained with edge maps of landmark images, which
are automatically obtained by a structure-from-motion pipeline. The learned
representation is evaluated on a range of different tasks, providing
improvements on challenging cases of domain generalization, generic
sketch-based image retrieval or its fine-grained counterpart. In contrast to
other methods that learn a different model per task, object category, or
domain, we use the same network throughout all our experiments, achieving
state-of-the-art results in multiple benchmarks.Comment: ECCV 201
Learning Cross-Modal Deep Embeddings for Multi-Object Image Retrieval using Text and Sketch
In this work we introduce a cross modal image retrieval system that allows
both text and sketch as input modalities for the query. A cross-modal deep
network architecture is formulated to jointly model the sketch and text input
modalities as well as the the image output modality, learning a common
embedding between text and images and between sketches and images. In addition,
an attention model is used to selectively focus the attention on the different
objects of the image, allowing for retrieval with multiple objects in the
query. Experiments show that the proposed method performs the best in both
single and multiple object image retrieval in standard datasets.Comment: Accepted at ICPR 201
FaceShop: Deep Sketch-based Face Image Editing
We present a novel system for sketch-based face image editing, enabling users
to edit images intuitively by sketching a few strokes on a region of interest.
Our interface features tools to express a desired image manipulation by
providing both geometry and color constraints as user-drawn strokes. As an
alternative to the direct user input, our proposed system naturally supports a
copy-paste mode, which allows users to edit a given image region by using parts
of another exemplar image without the need of hand-drawn sketching at all. The
proposed interface runs in real-time and facilitates an interactive and
iterative workflow to quickly express the intended edits. Our system is based
on a novel sketch domain and a convolutional neural network trained end-to-end
to automatically learn to render image regions corresponding to the input
strokes. To achieve high quality and semantically consistent results we train
our neural network on two simultaneous tasks, namely image completion and image
translation. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to combine these
two tasks in a unified framework for interactive image editing. Our results
show that the proposed sketch domain, network architecture, and training
procedure generalize well to real user input and enable high quality synthesis
results without additional post-processing.Comment: 13 pages, 20 figure
