GALA (Mucciarelli et al. 2013) is a code written in standard Fortran 77 and aimed at finding the best atmospheric parameters and the abundance of individual elements by using the equivalent widths (EWs) of metallic lines, providing…
Robots are expected to serve as intelligent assistants, helping humans with everyday household organization. A central challenge in this setting is the task of object placement, which requires reasoning about both semantic preferences…
Image composition targets at inserting a foreground object into a background image. Most previous image composition methods focus on adjusting the foreground to make it compatible with background while ignoring the shadow effect of…
Searching for small objects in large images is a task that is both challenging for current deep learning systems and important in numerous real-world applications, such as remote sensing and medical imaging. Thorough scanning of very large…
Given a composite image, image harmonization aims to adjust the foreground illumination to be consistent with background. Previous methods have explored transforming foreground features to achieve competitive performance. In this work, we…
Incremental object detection is fundamentally challenged by catastrophic forgetting. A major factor contributing to this issue is background shift, where background categories in sequential tasks may overlap with either previously learned…
When using cut-and-paste to acquire a composite image, the geometry inconsistency between foreground and background may severely harm its fidelity. To address the geometry inconsistency in composite images, several existing works learned to…
Over the last few years, deep learning based approaches have achieved outstanding improvements in natural image matting. Many of these methods can generate visually plausible alpha estimations, but typically yield blurry structures or…
The ever higher quality and wide diffusion of fake images have spawn a quest for reliable forensic tools. Many GAN image detectors have been proposed, recently. In real world scenarios, however, most of them show limited robustness and…
Huge image data sets are the fundament for the development of the perception of automated driving systems. A large number of images is necessary to train robust neural networks that can cope with diverse situations. A sufficiently large…
We present a fast, scalable, and accurate Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system that represents indoor scenes as a graph of objects. Leveraging the observation that artificial environments are structured and occupied by…
Oriented object detection has been rapidly developed in the past few years, but most of these methods assume the training and testing images are under the same statistical distribution, which is far from reality. In this paper, we propose…
Unsupervised image-to-image translation aims at learning a mapping between two visual domains. However, learning a translation across large geometry variations always ends up with failure. In this work, we present a novel…
One of the most fundamental and information-laden actions humans do is to look at objects. However, a survey of current works reveals that existing gaze-related datasets annotate only the pixel being looked at, and not the boundaries of a…
In image editing, the most common task is pasting objects from one image to the other and then eventually adjusting the manifestation of the foreground object with the background object. This task is called image compositing. But image…
To achieve visual consistency in composite images, recent image harmonization methods typically summarize the appearance pattern of global background and apply it to the global foreground without location discrepancy. However, for a real…
Typically, objects with the same semantics are not always prominent in images containing different backgrounds. Motivated by this observation that accurately salient object detection is related to both foreground and background, we proposed…
How much does a single image reveal about the environment it was taken in? In this paper, we investigate how much of that information can be retrieved from a foreground object, combined with the background (i.e. the visible part of the…
Gravitational lensing is a powerful tool to detect compact matter on very different mass scales. Of particular importance is the fact that lensing is sensitive to both luminous and dark matter alike. Depending on the mass scale, all lensing…
Automatically detecting/segmenting object(s) that blend in with their surroundings is difficult for current models. A major challenge is that the intrinsic similarities between such foreground objects and background surroundings make the…
