Training (source) domain bias affects state-of-the-art object detectors, such as Faster R-CNN, when applied to new (target) domains. To alleviate this problem, researchers proposed various domain adaptation methods to improve object…
Humans can easily detect a defect (anomaly) because it is different or salient when compared to the surface it resides on. Today, manual human visual inspection is still the norm because it is difficult to automate anomaly detection. Neural…
Edge detection is a long-standing problem in computer vision. Despite the efficiency of existing algorithms, their performance, however, rely heavily on the pre-trained weights of the backbone network on the ImageNet dataset. The use of…
