Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art results on many visual recognition tasks. However, current CNN models still exhibit a poor ability to be invariant to spatial transformations of images. Intuitively, with…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) require large image corpora to be trained on classification tasks. The variation in image resolutions, sizes of objects and patterns depicted, and image scales, hampers CNN training and performance,…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) define an exceptionally powerful class of models for image classification, but the theoretical background and the understanding of how invariances to certain transformations are learned is limited. In a…

The effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has been substantially attributed to their built-in property of translation equivariance. However, CNNs do not have embedded mechanisms to handle other types of transformations. In…

Inspired by two basic mechanisms in animal visual systems, we introduce a feature transform technique that imposes invariance properties in the training of deep neural networks. The resulting algorithm requires less parameter tuning, trains…

Even though convolutional neural networks (CNN) has achieved near-human performance in various computer vision tasks, its ability to tolerate scale variations is limited. The popular practise is making the model bigger first, and then train…

An important goal in visual recognition is to devise image representations that are invariant to particular transformations. In this paper, we address this goal with a new type of convolutional neural network (CNN) whose invariance is…

The success of CNN-based architecture on image classification in learning and extracting features made them so popular these days, but the task of image classification becomes more challenging when we apply state of art models to classify…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) do not have a predictable recognition behavior with respect to the input resolution change. This prevents the feasibility of deployment on different input image resolutions for a specific model. To…

While scale-invariant modeling has substantially boosted the performance of visual recognition tasks, it remains largely under-explored in deep networks based image restoration. Naively applying those scale-invariant techniques (e.g.…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have advanced significantly in visual representation learning and recognition. However, they face notable challenges in performance and computational efficiency when dealing with real-world, multi-scale…

Unlike standard object classification, where the image to be classified contains one or multiple instances of the same object, indoor scene classification is quite different since the image consists of multiple distinct objects. Further,…

Although large-scale labeled data are essential for deep convolutional neural networks (ConvNets) to learn high-level semantic visual representations, it is time-consuming and impractical to collect and annotate large-scale datasets. A…

We study the effect of injecting local scale equivariance into Convolutional Neural Networks. This is done by applying each convolutional filter at multiple scales. The output is a vector field encoding for the maximally activating scale…

A number of machine learning tasks entail a high degree of invariance: the data distribution does not change if we act on the data with a certain group of transformations. For instance, labels of images are invariant under translations of…

Human face images usually appear with wide range of visual scales. The existing face representations pursue the bandwidth of handling scale variation via multi-scale scheme that assembles a finite series of predefined scales. Such…
