Shadow boundaries can be confused with material boundaries as both exhibit sharp changes in luminance or contrast within a scene. However, shadows do not modify the intrinsic color or texture of surfaces. Therefore, on both sides of shadow…
Salient object detection (SOD), which aims to find the most important region of interest and segment the relevant object/item in that area, is an important yet challenging vision task. This problem is inspired by the fact that human seems…

Many objects do not appear frequently enough in complex scenes (e.g., certain handbags in living rooms) for training an accurate object detector, but are often found frequently by themselves (e.g., in product images). Yet, these…
