Recognizing multiple objects in an image is challenging due to occlusions, and becomes even more so when the objects are small. While promising, existing multi-label image recognition models do not explicitly learn context-based…
Person Re-identification (re-id) aims to match people across non-overlapping camera views in a public space. It is a challenging problem because many people captured in surveillance videos wear similar clothes. Consequently, the differences…
Detecting objects and estimating their viewpoints in images are key tasks of 3D scene understanding. Recent approaches have achieved excellent results on very large benchmarks for object detection and viewpoint estimation. However,…
We present a novel deep architecture termed templateNet for depth based object instance recognition. Using an intermediate template layer we exploit prior knowledge of an object's shape to sparsify the feature maps. This has three…
The aim of few-shot learning (FSL) is to learn how to recognize image categories from a small number of training examples. A central challenge is that the available training examples are normally insufficient to determine which visual…

Accurate face detection and facial landmark localization are crucial to any face recognition system. We present a series of three single-stage RCNNs with different sized backbones (MobileNetV2-25, MobileNetV2-100, and ResNet101) and a…
Human decision-making often relies on visual information from multiple perspectives or views. In contrast, machine learning-based object recognition utilizes information from a single image of the object. However, the information conveyed…
We employ the face recognition technology developed in house at face.com to a well accepted benchmark and show that without any tuning we are able to considerably surpass state of the art results. Much of the improvement is concentrated in…
Object skeletons are useful for object representation and object detection. They are complementary to the object contour, and provide extra information, such as how object scale (thickness) varies among object parts. But object skeleton…
Detect facial keypoints is a critical element in face recognition. However, there is difficulty to catch keypoints on the face due to complex influences from original images, and there is no guidance to suitable algorithms. In this paper,…
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) and their variants have been widely used in large scale face recognition(FR) recently. Existing methods have achieved good performance on many FR benchmarks. However, most of them suffer from two…
