Convolutional Pose Machine is a popular neural network architecture for articulated pose estimation. In this work we explore its empirical receptive field and realize, that it can be enhanced with integration of a global context. To do so…

Depth and ego-motion estimations are essential for the localization and navigation of autonomous robots and autonomous driving. Recent studies make it possible to learn the per-pixel depth and ego-motion from the unlabeled monocular video.…

Recognizing wild faces is extremely hard as they appear with all kinds of variations. Traditional methods either train with specifically annotated variation data from target domains, or by introducing unlabeled target variation data to…

We present a solution to "Google Cloud and YouTube-8M Video Understanding Challenge" that ranked 5th place. The proposed model is an ensemble of three model families, two frame level and one video level. The training was performed on…

Determining the precise geographic location of an image at a global scale remains an unsolved challenge. Standard image retrieval techniques are inefficient due to the sheer volume of images (>100M) and fail when coverage is insufficient.…

Pose estimation is usually tackled as either a bin classification or a regression problem. In both cases, the idea is to directly predict the pose of an object. This is a non-trivial task due to appearance variations between similar poses…

The "lifting from 2D pose" method has been the dominant approach to 3D Human Pose Estimation (3DHPE) due to the powerful visual analysis ability of 2D pose estimators. Widely known, there exists a depth ambiguity problem when estimating…

Most previous image matting methods require a roughly-specificed trimap as input, and estimate fractional alpha values for all pixels that are in the unknown region of the trimap. In this paper, we argue that directly estimating the alpha…

Recently proposed robust 3D face alignment methods establish either dense or sparse correspondence between a 3D face model and a 2D facial image. The use of these methods presents new challenges as well as opportunities for facial texture…

Automated segmentation of cancerous lesions in PET/CT scans is a crucial first step in quantitative image analysis. However, training deep learning models for segmentation with high accuracy is particularly challenging due to the variations…

Recognition of human poses and actions is crucial for autonomous systems to interact smoothly with people. However, cameras generally capture human poses in 2D as images and videos, which can have significant appearance variations across…

Retrieving videos of a particular person with face image as a query via hashing technique has many important applications. While face images are typically represented as vectors in Euclidean space, characterizing face videos with some…

We propose a new deep learning network that introduces a deeper CNN channel filter and constraints as losses to reduce joint position and motion errors for 3D video human body pose estimation. Our model outperforms the previous best result…

Generating accurate and coherent image captions in a continual learning setting remains a major challenge due to catastrophic forgetting and the difficulty of aligning evolving visual concepts with language over time. In this work, we…

We propose a way to learn visual features that are compatible with previously computed ones even when they have different dimensions and are learned via different neural network architectures and loss functions. Compatible means that, if…

We carefully evaluate a number of algorithms for learning in a federated environment, and test their utility for a variety of image classification tasks. We consider many issues that have not been adequately considered before: whether…

While deep learning has become a key ingredient in the top performing methods for many computer vision tasks, it has failed so far to bring similar improvements to instance-level image retrieval. In this article, we argue that reasons for…

Most of the achievements in artificial intelligence so far were accomplished by supervised learning which requires numerous annotated training data and thus costs innumerable manpower for labeling. Unsupervised learning is one of the…

The prevailing video retrieval paradigm is structurally misaligned, as narrow benchmarks incentivize correspondingly limited data and single-task training. Therefore, universal capability is suppressed due to the absence of a diagnostic…

This paper presents variable bitrate lossy image compression using a VAE-based neural network. An adaptable image quality adjustment strategy is proposed. The key innovation involves adeptly adjusting the input scale exclusively during the…
