Evaluation of Hashing Methods Performance on Binary Feature Descriptors
In this paper we evaluate performance of data-dependent hashing methods on
binary data. The goal is to find a hashing method that can effectively produce
lower dimensional binary representation of 512-bit FREAK descriptors. A
representative sample of recent unsupervised, semi-supervised and supervised
hashing methods was experimentally evaluated on large datasets of labelled
binary FREAK feature descriptors
Semantic Part Segmentation using Compositional Model combining Shape and Appearance
In this paper, we study the problem of semantic part segmentation for
animals. This is more challenging than standard object detection, object
segmentation and pose estimation tasks because semantic parts of animals often
have similar appearance and highly varying shapes. To tackle these challenges,
we build a mixture of compositional models to represent the object boundary and
the boundaries of semantic parts. And we incorporate edge, appearance, and
semantic part cues into the compositional model. Given part-level segmentation
annotation, we develop a novel algorithm to learn a mixture of compositional
models under various poses and viewpoints for certain animal classes.
Furthermore, a linear complexity algorithm is offered for efficient inference
of the compositional model using dynamic programming. We evaluate our method
for horse and cow using a newly annotated dataset on Pascal VOC 2010 which has
pixelwise part labels. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of
our method
ScanComplete: Large-Scale Scene Completion and Semantic Segmentation for 3D Scans
We introduce ScanComplete, a novel data-driven approach for taking an
incomplete 3D scan of a scene as input and predicting a complete 3D model along
with per-voxel semantic labels. The key contribution of our method is its
ability to handle large scenes with varying spatial extent, managing the cubic
growth in data size as scene size increases. To this end, we devise a
fully-convolutional generative 3D CNN model whose filter kernels are invariant
to the overall scene size. The model can be trained on scene subvolumes but
deployed on arbitrarily large scenes at test time. In addition, we propose a
coarse-to-fine inference strategy in order to produce high-resolution output
while also leveraging large input context sizes. In an extensive series of
experiments, we carefully evaluate different model design choices, considering
both deterministic and probabilistic models for completion and semantic
inference. Our results show that we outperform other methods not only in the
size of the environments handled and processing efficiency, but also with
regard to completion quality and semantic segmentation performance by a
significant margin.Comment: Video: https://youtu.be/5s5s8iH0NF
Content Based Image Retrieval by Convolutional Neural Networks
Hamreras S., Benítez-Rochel R., Boucheham B., Molina-Cabello M.A., López-Rubio E. (2019) Content Based Image Retrieval by Convolutional Neural Networks. In: Ferrández Vicente J., Álvarez-Sánchez J., de la Paz López F., Toledo Moreo J., Adeli H. (eds) From Bioinspired Systems and Biomedical Applications to Machine Learning. IWINAC 2019. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 11487. Springer.In this paper, we present a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for feature extraction in Content based Image Retrieval (CBIR). The proposed CNN aims at reducing the semantic gap between low level and high-level features. Thus, improving retrieval results. Our CNN is the result of a transfer learning technique using Alexnet pretrained network. It learns how to extract representative features from a learning database and then uses this knowledge in query feature extraction. Experimentations performed on Wang (Corel 1K) database show a significant improvement in terms of precision over the state of the art classic approaches.Universidad de Málaga.
