Traditional semantic image search methods aim to retrieve images that match the meaning of the text query. However, these methods typically search for objects on the whole image, without considering the localization of objects within the…
Deep learning has proved particularly useful for semantic segmentation, a fundamental image analysis task. However, the standard deep learning methods need many training images with ground-truth pixel-wise annotations, which are usually…
Image classification is an essential part of computer vision which assigns a given input image to a specific category based on the similarity evaluation within given criteria. While promising classifiers can be obtained through deep…
Image recognition tasks that involve identifying parts of an object or the contents of a vessel can be viewed as a hierarchical problem, which can be solved by initial recognition of the main object, followed by recognition of its parts or…

Training a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for semantic segmentation typically requires to collect a large amount of accurate pixel-level annotations, a hard and expensive task. In contrast, simple image tags are easier to gather. With…
Current semantic segmentation methods focus only on mining "local" context, i.e., dependencies between pixels within individual images, by context-aggregation modules (e.g., dilated convolution, neural attention) or structure-aware…
We propose an explainable model to generate semantic color labels for person search. In this context, persons are described from their semantic parts, such as hat, shirt, etc. Person search consists in looking for people based on these…
Image forensics, aiming to ensure the authenticity of the image, has made great progress in dealing with common image manipulation such as copy-move, splicing, and inpainting in the past decades. However, only a few researchers pay…
Semantic inpainting is the task of inferring missing pixels in an image given surrounding pixels and high level image semantics. Most semantic inpainting algorithms are deterministic: given an image with missing regions, a single inpainted…
We propose an end-to-end learning framework for segmenting generic objects in both images and videos. Given a novel image or video, our approach produces a pixel-level mask for all "object-like" regions---even for object categories never…
Semantic image inpainting is a challenging task where large missing regions have to be filled based on the available visual data. Existing methods which extract information from only a single image generally produce unsatisfactory results…
