Community detection refers to finding densely connected groups of nodes in graphs. In important applications, such as cluster analysis and network modelling, the graph is sparse but outliers and heavy-tailed noise may obscure its structure.…

Clustering, a fundamental activity in unsupervised learning, is notoriously difficult when the feature space is high-dimensional. Fortunately, in many realistic scenarios, only a handful of features are relevant in distinguishing clusters.…

In this paper, we propose an effective scene text recognition method using sparse coding based features, called Histograms of Sparse Codes (HSC) features. For character detection, we use the HSC features instead of using the Histograms of…

In this paper, we propose a new approach for keypoint-based object detection. Traditional keypoint-based methods consist in classifying individual points and using pose estimation to discard misclassifications. Since a single point carries…

The stochastic block model is a canonical random graph model for clustering and community detection on network-structured data. Decades of extensive study on the problem have established many profound results, among which the phase…

Modern two-stage object detectors generally require excessively large models for their detection heads to achieve high accuracy. To address this problem, we propose that the model parameters of two-stage detection heads can be condensed and…

Image keypoints and descriptors play a crucial role in many visual measurement tasks. In recent years, deep neural networks have been widely used to improve the performance of keypoint and descriptor extraction. However, the conventional…

Image perceptual hashing finds applications in content indexing, large-scale image database management, certification and authentication and digital watermarking. We propose a Block-DCT and PCA based image perceptual hash in this article…

Wideband spectrum sensing is a significant challenge in cognitive radios (CRs) due to requiring very high-speed analog- to-digital converters (ADCs), operating at or above the Nyquist rate. Here, we propose a very low-complexity zero-block…

We propose CornerNet, a new approach to object detection where we detect an object bounding box as a pair of keypoints, the top-left corner and the bottom-right corner, using a single convolution neural network. By detecting objects as…

Sparse coding (SC) is an automatic feature extraction and selection technique that is widely used in unsupervised learning. However, conventional SC vectorizes the input images, which breaks apart the local proximity of pixels and destructs…

In this work, a novel target detector for hyperspectral imagery is developed. The detector is independent on the unknown covariance matrix, behaves well in large dimensions, distributional free, invariant to atmospheric effects, and does…

This work addresses the challenge of sub-pixel accuracy in detecting 2D local features, a cornerstone problem in computer vision. Despite the advancements brought by neural network-based methods like SuperPoint and ALIKED, these modern…

Sparse coding (SC) is attracting more and more attention due to its comprehensive theoretical studies and its excellent performance in many signal processing applications. However, most existing sparse coding algorithms are nonconvex and…

Local feature detection is a key ingredient of many image processing and computer vision applications, such as visual odometry and localization. Most existing algorithms focus on feature detection from a sharp image. They would thus have…

Object detection generally requires sliding-window classifiers in tradition or anchor box based predictions in modern deep learning approaches. However, either of these approaches requires tedious configurations in boxes. In this paper, we…

Keypoint detection is the foundation of many computer vision tasks, including image registration, structure-from-motion, 3D reconstruction, visual odometry, and SLAM. Traditional detectors (SIFT, ORB, BRISK, FAST, etc.) and learning-based…

In many real-world problems, we are dealing with collections of high-dimensional data, such as images, videos, text and web documents, DNA microarray data, and more. Often, high-dimensional data lie close to low-dimensional structures…

Dense object tracking, the ability to localize specific object points with pixel-level accuracy, is an important computer vision task with numerous downstream applications in robotics. Existing approaches either compute dense keypoint…

Since local feature detection has been one of the most active research areas in computer vision, a large number of detectors have been proposed. This has rendered the task of characterizing the performance of various feature detection…
