Interacting with the environment, such as object detection and tracking, is a crucial ability of mobile robots. Besides high accuracy, efficiency in terms of processing effort and energy consumption are also desirable. To satisfy both…
Object detectors are vital to many modern computer vision applications. However, even state-of-the-art object detectors are not perfect. On two images that look similar to human eyes, the same detector can make different predictions because…
Video salient object detection aims to find the most visually distinctive objects in a video. To explore the temporal dependencies, existing methods usually resort to recurrent neural networks or optical flow. However, these approaches…
Video object detection is more challenging compared to image object detection. Previous works proved that applying object detector frame by frame is not only slow but also inaccurate. Visual clues get weakened by defocus and motion blur,…
Recent object detection systems rely on two critical steps: (1) a set of object proposals is predicted as efficiently as possible, and (2) this set of candidate proposals is then passed to an object classifier. Such approaches have been…
Object detection is a basic computer vision task to loccalize and categorize objects in a given image. Most state-of-the-art detection methods utilize a fixed number of proposals as an intermediate representation of object candidates, which…
Object detection aims at high speed and accuracy simultaneously. However, fast models are usually less accurate, while accurate models cannot satisfy our need for speed. A fast model can be 10 times faster but 50\% less accurate than an…
The interactions between human and objects are important for recognizing object-centric actions. Existing methods usually adopt a two-stage pipeline, where object proposals are first detected using a pretrained detector, and then are fed to…

Image and video compression has traditionally been tailored to human vision. However, modern applications such as visual analytics and surveillance rely on computers seeing and analyzing the images before (or instead of) humans. For these…
Recent advances in single-frame object detection and segmentation techniques have motivated a wide range of works to extend these methods to process video streams. In this paper, we explore the idea of hard attention aimed for…
In this paper we describe a new method for detecting and counting a repeating object in an image. While the method relies on a fairly sophisticated deformable part model, unlike existing techniques it estimates the model parameters in an…
