Clothing Co-Parsing by Joint Image Segmentation and Labeling
This paper aims at developing an integrated system of clothing co-parsing, in
order to jointly parse a set of clothing images (unsegmented but annotated with
tags) into semantic configurations. We propose a data-driven framework
consisting of two phases of inference. The first phase, referred as "image
co-segmentation", iterates to extract consistent regions on images and jointly
refines the regions over all images by employing the exemplar-SVM (E-SVM)
technique [23]. In the second phase (i.e. "region co-labeling"), we construct a
multi-image graphical model by taking the segmented regions as vertices, and
incorporate several contexts of clothing configuration (e.g., item location and
mutual interactions). The joint label assignment can be solved using the
efficient Graph Cuts algorithm. In addition to evaluate our framework on the
Fashionista dataset [30], we construct a dataset called CCP consisting of 2098
high-resolution street fashion photos to demonstrate the performance of our
system. We achieve 90.29% / 88.23% segmentation accuracy and 65.52% / 63.89%
recognition rate on the Fashionista and the CCP datasets, respectively, which
are superior compared with state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, CVPR 201
Occlusion Aware Unsupervised Learning of Optical Flow
It has been recently shown that a convolutional neural network can learn
optical flow estimation with unsupervised learning. However, the performance of
the unsupervised methods still has a relatively large gap compared to its
supervised counterpart. Occlusion and large motion are some of the major
factors that limit the current unsupervised learning of optical flow methods.
In this work we introduce a new method which models occlusion explicitly and a
new warping way that facilitates the learning of large motion. Our method shows
promising results on Flying Chairs, MPI-Sintel and KITTI benchmark datasets.
Especially on KITTI dataset where abundant unlabeled samples exist, our
unsupervised method outperforms its counterpart trained with supervised
learning.Comment: CVPR 2018 Camera-read
Performance of multiple-input multiple-output wireless communications systems using distributed antennas
In this contribution we propose and investigate a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communications system, where multiple receive antennas are distributed in the area covered by a cellular cell and connected with the base-station (BS). We first analyze the total received power by the BS through the distributed antennas, when assuming that the mobile's signal is transmitted over lognormal shadowed Rayleigh fading channels. Then, the outage probability of the distributed antenna MIMO systems is investigated, when considering various antenna distribution patterns. Furthermore, space-time coding at the mobile transmitter is considered for enhancing the outage performance of the distributed antenna MIMO system. Our study and simulation results show that the outage performance of a distributed antenna MIMO system can be significantly improved, when either increasing the number of distributed receive antennas or increasing the number of mobile transmit antennas
