Recent advances in supervised salient object detection modeling has resulted in significant performance improvements on benchmark datasets. However, most of the existing salient object detection models assume that at least one salient object exists in the input image. Such an assumption often leads to less appealing saliency maps on the background images with no salient object at all. Therefore, handling those cases can reduce the false positive rate of a model. In this paper, we propose a supervised learning approach for jointly addressing the salient object detection and existence prediction problems. Given a set of background-only images and images with salient objects, as well as their salient object annotations, we adopt the structural SVM framework and formulate the two problems jointly in a single integrated objective function: saliency labels of superpixels are involved in a classification term conditioned on the salient object existence variable, which in turn depends on both global ...

We present a novel approach to measuring distances between objects in images, suitable for information-rich object representations which simultaneously capture several properties in each image pixel. Multiple spatial fuzzy sets on the image domain, unified in a vector-valued fuzzy set, are used to model such representations. Distance between such sets is based on a novel point-to-set distance suitable for vector-valued fuzzy representations. The proposed set distance may be applied in, e.g., template matching and object classification, with an advantage that a number of object features are simultaneously considered. The distance measure is of linear time complexity w.r.t. the number of pixels in the image. We evaluate the performance of the proposed measure in template matching in presence of noise, as well as in object detection and classification in low resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy images.. ...
In this article, scale and orientation invariant object detection is performed by matching intensity level histograms. Unlike other global measurement methods, the present one uses a local feature description that allows small changes in the histogram signature, giving robustness to partial occlusions. Local features over the object histogram are extracted during a Boosting learning phase, selecting the most discriminant features within a training histogram image set. The Integral Histogram has been used to compute local histograms in constant time ...

In this paper, we delve into semi-supervised object detection where unlabeled images are leveraged to break through the upper bound of fully-supervised object detection models. Previous semi-supervised methods based on pseudo labels are severely degenerated by noise and prone to overfit to noisy labels, thus are deficient in learning different unlabeled knowledge well. To address this issue, we propose a data-uncertainty guided multi-phase learning method for semi-supervised object detection. We comprehensively consider divergent types of unlabeled images according to their difficulty levels, utilize them in different phases and ensemble models from different phases together to generate ultimate results. Image uncertainty guided easy data selection and region uncertainty guided RoI Re-weighting are involved in multi-phase learning and enable the detector to concentrate on more certain knowledge. Through extensive experiments on PASCAL VOC and MS COCO, we demonstrate that our method behaves ...
In this thesis, the modelling of audio-visual perception with a head-like device is considered. The related problems, namely audio-visual calibration, audio-visual object detection, localization and tracking are addressed. A spatio-temporal approach to the head-like device calibration is proposed based on probabilistic multimodal trajectory matching. The formalism of conjugate mixture models is introduced along with a family of efficient optimization algorithms to perform multimodal clustering. One instance of this algorithm family, namely the conjugate expectation maximization (ConjEM) algorithm is further improved to gain attractive theoretical properties. The multimodal object detection and object number estimation methods are developed, their theoretical properties are discussed. Finally, the proposed multimodal clustering method is combined with the object detection and object number estimation strategies and known tracking techniques to perform multimodal multiobject tracking. The performance is

Object detection and localization is a crucial step for inspection and manipulation tasks in robotic and industrial applications. We present an object detection and localization scheme for 3D objects that combines intensity and depth data. A novel multimodal, scale- and rotation-invariant feature is used to simultaneously describe the objects silhouette and surface appearance. The objects position is determined by matching scene and model features via a Hough-like local voting scheme. The proposed method is quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated on a large number of real sequences, proving that it is generic and highly robust to occlusions and clutter. Comparisons with state of the art methods demonstrate comparable results and higher robustness with respect to occlusions ...

Object detection is an enabling technology that plays a key role in many application areas, such as content based media retrieval. Attentive cognitive vision systems are here proposed where the focus of attention is directed towards the most relevant target. The most promising information is interpreted in a sequential process that dynamically makes use of knowledge and that enables spatial reasoning on the local object information. The presented work proposes an innovative application of attention mechanisms for object detection which is most general in its understanding of information and action selection. The attentive detection system uses a cascade of increasingly complex classifiers for the stepwise identification of regions of interest (ROIs) and recursively refined object hypotheses. While the most coarse classifiers are used to determine first approximations on a region of interest in the input image, more complex classifiers are used for more refined ROIs to give more confident ...

The paper received mixed ratings: two reviewers recommend acceptance, and two reviewers consider the paper is marginally below the threshold. All reviewers agree that the paper provides useful insights, e.g., the observation that resolution and depth are more important than width for tiny networks. The main concerns raised by the reviewers were (i) novelty is not highly significant/the method is too heuristic (ii) issues with experiments and lack of analysis on other tasks, such as object detection. The rebuttal helped clarify several other questions raised by the reviewers, and included new experiments on COCO object detection using Faster-RCNN. All reviewers actively participated in the discussion phase. R3 remained concern about the search efficiency of the method with respect to other alternatives such as FBNetv2, and pointed out issues with the reported results for EfficientNetB0 (Table 3). R4 remained concerned about the generalization of the approach for detection when faster methods such ...

Experiments from Danieles masters and Giacomos internship will appear in a paper in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience!. Heres a preprint. Ultrafast object detection in naturalistic vision relies on ultrafast distractor suppression. Hickey, Pollicino, Bertazzoli, and Barbaro. People are quicker to detect examples of real-world object categories in natural scenes than is predicted by classic attention theories. One explanation for this puzzle suggests that experience renders the visual system sensitive to mid-level features diagnosing target presence. These are detected without the need for spatial attention, much as occurs for targets defined by low-level features like color or orientation. The alternative is that naturalistic search relies on spatial attention but is highly efficient because global scene information can be used to quickly reject non-target objects and locations. Here, we use ERPs to differentiate between these possibilities. Results show that hallmark evidence of ...

A novel system of an optical vortex generation using an add/drop multiplexer incorporating with two nanoring resonators is proposed. Such a system is known as a PANDA ring resonator structure, in which the optical vortices (gradient optical fields/wells) can be generated and used to form the photon/atom trapping tools in the same way as the optical tweezers. By controlling some suitable parameters of the input and the control optical pulses, the intense optical vortices can be generated within the PANDA ring resonator, in which the trapped photons/atoms can move dynamically within the system. The trapping force occurrs and is formed by the combination between the gradient field and scattering photons, which we review. A transmitter and receiver can be formed within the same system (device), which is called a transceiver. Finally, the use of the PANDA ring resonator as a hybrid transceiver and repeater for nanocommunication is discussed ...
Conventional underwater object detection methods have typically employed acoustic waves, but this technique has its limitations due to environmental signal refractions and reflections that impact system accuracy when compared with laser-based systems. Laser technologies allow for higher resolutions over a greater range with a better chance of achieving high directionality.. Light absorption in water is lowest in the 400-450 nm spectral range, which allows laser light to permeate over long distances as well as maintaining almost all its strength.. Vila added: They also allow new methods of wide-band and interception-proofed communication.. Current predictions forecast the global photonics market to exceed €615 billion by the end of the year. Between 2005 and 2017, the photonics market demonstrated a growth of 7%, which was double that of global GDP and outperforming industries, including the food and automotive sectors..

In our experiments, both L. caerulea and R. marina expelled beads that had been implanted into the abdominal cavity. Beads were first sequestered into the bladder, and then were expelled completely from the body. Other vertebrates can expel foreign objects in the body cavity, including some fishes [6-9], camels [10], humans [11-13], snakes [3,14] and crocodiles (N. Whitaker 2010, personal communication). However, unlike frogs, those species expel implanted objects either through the skin (fish), or through the intestine by trans-intestinal expulsion, not through the bladder. Thus, expulsion through the bladder is a newly discovered pathway by which animals can remove foreign objects from the body.. The mechanism by which the foreign objects moved into the bladder of amphibians appears to be different from that used to move transmitters into the intestines of other species. In channel catfish, surgical implants were first encapsulated by fibrous tissue, following a typical foreign body reaction ...
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for detecting an object in an image. The techniques include scanning a sequence of pixels in the image, each pixel having one or more property values associated with properties of the pixel, and generating a dynamic probability value for each of one or more pixels in the sequence. The dynamic probability value for a given pixel represents a probability that the given pixel has neighboring pixels in the sequence that correspond to one or more features of the object. The dynamic probability value is generated by identifying a dynamic probability value associated with a pixel that immediately precedes the given pixel in the sequence; updating the identified dynamic probability value based on the property values of the immediately preceding pixel; and associating the updated probability value with the given pixel.

We address an unsupervised object detection and segmentation problem that goes beyond the conventional assumptions of one-to-one object correspondences or modeltest settings between images. Our method can detect and segment identical objects directly from a single image or a handful of images without any supervision. To detect and segment all the object-level correspondences from the given images, a novel multi-layer match-growing method is proposed that starts from initial local feature matches and explores the images by intra-layer expansion and inter-layer merge. It estimates geometric relations between object entities and establishes object correspondence networks that connect matching objects. Experiments demonstrate robust performance of our method on challenging datasets.
This talk will provide an update on ongoing archaeological research on the Veluwe, one of the few densely forested areas in the Netherlands. While many archaeological traces are well preserved under the forest cover, they are also well hidden. In spite of decades of archaeological fieldwork by Leiden University and others, our image of the rich archaeological heritage of the Veluwe is still sketchy.. Two recently launched, interlinked research projects are currently expanding our knowledge considerably. Both approach the Veluwe from a regional perspective. In a data science project, called WODAN (Workflow for Object Detection of Archaeology in the Netherlands) we are developing a multi-class detector of archaeological objects in LiDAR data, the core of which is a Faster R-CNN (region-based convolutional neural network). This project has more than doubled the amount of known prehistoric burial mounds in the region, and has also allowed substantial progress in the study of Celtic fields and ...

Abstract: Extracting effective and discriminative features is very important for addressing the challenging person re-identification (re-ID) task. Prevailing deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) usually use high-level features for identifying pedestrian. However, some essential spatial information resided in low-level features such as shape, texture and color will be lost when learning the high-level features, due to extensive padding and pooling operations in the training stage. In addition, most existing person re-ID methods are mainly based on hand-craft bounding boxes where images are precisely aligned. It is unrealistic in practical applications, since the exploited object detection algorithms often produce inaccurate bounding boxes. This will inevitably degrade the performance of existing algorithms. To address these problems, we put forward a novel person re-ID model that fuses high- and low-level embeddings to reduce the information loss caused in learning high-level features. Then ...

Disguised: When disguised in the MiningGear, you may mine inside Itznotyerzitz Mine. You may only mine in squares adjacent to an open section (the squares at the bottom, or squares which you have already mined). At any time, you may choose to start a new cavern. Only squares which sparkle contain something; non-sparkly squares contain nothing. (Note that only squares which are currently open to you will sparkle, so as you get deeper in the mine, youll notice more sparkly squares. The Object Detection effect, however, allows you to see all sparkly squares whether youre adjacent to them or not.) There are precisely 4 of each ore (asbestos, chrome, and linoleum) in each cavern. The four ores of a given type will all be connected together, so if you find one linoleum ore, the other three will be nearby. Note that the ores tend to be back in the cave (usually the back three rows, though there are occasionally ores in the third row), so if you want to avoid cave-ins, you should avoid sparkly squares ...

Abstract: In recent years, autonomous driving algorithms using low-cost vehicle-mounted cameras have attracted increasing endeavors from both academia and industry. There are multiple fronts to these endeavors, including object detection on roads, 3-D reconstruction etc., but in this work we focus on a vision-based model that directly maps raw input images to steering angles using deep networks. This represents a nascent research topic in computer vision. The technical contributions of this work are three-fold. First, the model is learned and evaluated on real human driving videos that are time-synchronized with other vehicle sensors. This differs from many prior models trained from synthetic data in racing games. Second, state-of-the-art models, such as PilotNet, mostly predict the wheel angles independently on each video frame, which contradicts common understanding of driving as a stateful process. Instead, our proposed model strikes a combination of spatial and temporal cues, jointly ...
