This paper addresses the construction of inverted index for large-scale image retrieval. The inverted index proposed by J. Sivic brings a significant acceleration by reducing distance computations with only a small fraction of the database.…
Image Segmentation is a technique of partitioning the original image into some distinct classes. Many possible solutions may be available for segmenting an image into a certain number of classes, each one having different quality of…
Image and video descriptors are an omnipresent tool in computer vision and its application fields like mobile robotics. Many hand-crafted and in particular learned image descriptors are numerical vectors with a potentially (very) large…
We propose an extension of tree-based space-partitioning indexing structures for data with low intrinsic dimensionality embedded in a high dimensional space. We call this extension an Angle Tree. Our extension can be applied to both…
We consider the problem of representing multidimensional data where the domain of each dimension is organized hierarchically, and the queries require summary information at a different node in the hierarchy of each dimension. This is the…
Feature extraction and matching are among central problems of computer vision. It is inefficent to search features over all locations and scales. Neurophysiological evidence shows that to locate objects in a digital image the human visual…
Two fundamental algorithm-design paradigms are Tree Search and Dynamic Programming. The techniques used therein have been shown to complement one another when solving the complete set partitioning problem, also known as the coalition…
Superpixel segmentation is a foundation for many higher-level computer vision tasks, such as image segmentation, object recognition, and scene understanding. Existing graph-based superpixel segmentation methods typically concentrate on the…
With the rapid development of mobile computing and Web services, a huge amount of data with spatial and temporal information have been collected everyday by smart mobile terminals, in which an object is described by its spatial information…
We propose a flexible and multi-scale method for organizing, visualizing, and understanding datasets sampled from or near stratified spaces. The first part of the algorithm produces a cover tree using adaptive thresholds based on a…
Image fusion combines images from multiple domains into one image, containing complementary information from source domains. Existing methods take pixel intensity, texture and high-level vision task information as the standards to determine…
Deep neural network models have become ubiquitous in recent years, and have been applied to nearly all areas of science, engineering, and industry. These models are particularly useful for data that have strong dependencies in space (e.g.,…
Similarity-preserving hashing is a commonly used method for nearest neighbour search in large-scale image retrieval. For image retrieval, deep-networks-based hashing methods are appealing since they can simultaneously learn effective image…
This paper aims at developing a faster and a more accurate solution to the amodal 3D object detection problem for indoor scenes. It is achieved through a novel neural network that takes a pair of RGB-D images as the input and delivers…
A structured query can capture the complexity of object interactions (e.g. 'woman rides motorcycle') unlike single objects (e.g. 'woman' or 'motorcycle'). Retrieval using structured queries therefore is much more useful than single object…
Current massive datasets demand light-weight access for analysis. Discrete hashing methods are thus beneficial because they map high-dimensional data to compact binary codes that are efficient to store and process, while preserving semantic…
We present a general and intuitive ambiguity model for intersections, junctions and other structures in binary edge images. The model is combined with edge tracing, where edges are ordered sequences of connected pixels. The objective is to…
We propose to bridge the gap between semi-supervised and unsupervised image recognition with a flexible method that performs well for both generalized category discovery (GCD) and image clustering. Despite the overlap in motivation between…
Scientific exploitation of the ever increasing volumes of astronomical data requires efficient and practical methods for data access, visualisation, and analysis. Hierarchical sky tessellation techniques enable a multi-resolution approach…
Image geolocalization is the task of identifying the location depicted in a photo based only on its visual information. This task is inherently challenging since many photos have only few, possibly ambiguous cues to their geolocation.…
