Persistent homology analysis provides means to capture the connectivity structure of data sets in various dimensions. On the mathematical level, by defining a metric between the objects that persistence attaches to data sets, we can…
Integrated Digital Image Correlation (IDIC) is nowadays a well established full-field experimental procedure for reliable and accurate identification of material parameters. It is based on the correlation of a series of images captured…
Recent works have shown that objects discovery can largely benefit from the inherent motion information in video data. However, these methods lack a proper background processing, resulting in an over-segmentation of the non-object regions…
We propose CornerNet, a new approach to object detection where we detect an object bounding box as a pair of keypoints, the top-left corner and the bottom-right corner, using a single convolution neural network. By detecting objects as…
Infrared small object detection (ISOS) aims to segment small objects only covered with several pixels from clutter background in infrared images. It's of great challenge due to: 1) small objects lack of sufficient intensity, shape and…
In autonomous driving, the temporal stability of 3D object detection greatly impacts the driving safety. However, the detection stability cannot be accessed by existing metrics such as mAP and MOTA, and consequently is less explored by the…
Dynamic scene understanding is an essential capability in robotics and VR/AR. In this paper we propose Co-Section, an optimization-based approach to 3D dynamic scene reconstruction, which infers hidden shape information from intersection…
In this paper we use a new logarithmic model of image representation, developed in [1,2], for edge detection. In fact, in the framework of the new model we obtain the formulas for computing the "contrast of a pixel" and the "contrast" image…
This is a review paper of traditional approaches for edge, corner, and boundary detection methods. There are many real-world applications of edge, corner, and boundary detection methods. For instance, in medical image analysis, edge…
Change detection plays an important role in most video-based applications. The first stage is to build appropriate background model, which is now becoming increasingly complex as more sophisticated statistical approaches are introduced to…
Modeling implicit feature interaction patterns is of significant importance to object detection tasks. However, in the two-stage detectors, due to the excessive use of hand-crafted components, it is very difficult to reason about the…
Accurate detection and tracking of objects is vital for effective video understanding. In previous work, the two tasks have been combined in a way that tracking is based heavily on detection, but the detection benefits marginally from the…
Artificial objects usually have very stable shape features, which are stable, persistent properties in geometry. They can provide evidence for object recognition. Shape features are more stable and more distinguishing than appearance…
This paper proposes a novel approach to create an automated visual surveillance system which is very efficient in detecting and tracking moving objects in a video captured by moving camera without any apriori information about the captured…
Image composition aims to blend multiple objects to form a harmonized image. Existing approaches often assume precisely segmented and intact objects. Such assumptions, however, are hard to satisfy in unconstrained scenarios. We present…
Intuitively, the appearance of true object boundaries varies from image to image. Hence the usual monolithic approach of training a single boundary predictor and applying it to all images regardless of their content is bound to be…
Cartograms are popular for visualizing numerical data for map regions. Maintaining correct adjacencies is a primary quality criterion for cartograms. When there are multiple data values per region (over time or different datasets) shown as…
We present Context Forest (ConF), a technique for predicting properties of the objects in an image based on its global appearance. Compared to standard nearest-neighbour techniques, ConF is more accurate, fast and memory efficient. We train…
In this paper we explore two ways of using context for object detection. The first model focusses on people and the objects they commonly interact with, such as fashion and sports accessories. The second model considers more general object…
A significant problem with most functional data analyses is that of misaligned curves. Without adjustment, even an analysis as simple as estimation of the mean will fail. One common method to synchronize a set of curves involves equating…
