Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) in Remote Clinical Diagnosis and Healthcare
cs.CV
Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) locates, retrieves and displays images alike to one given as a query, using a set of features. It demands accessible data in medical archives and from medical equipment, to infer meaning after some processing. A problem similar in some sense to the target image can aid clinicians. C...

Deep Pyramidal Residual Networks
cs.CV
Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have shown remarkable performance in image classification tasks in recent years. Generally, deep neural network architectures are stacks consisting of a large number of convolutional layers, and they perform downsampling along the spatial dimension via pooling to reduce memory...

EM-Based Mixture Models Applied to Video Event Detection
cs.CV
Surveillance system (SS) development requires hi-tech support to prevail over the shortcomings related to the massive quantity of visual information from SSs. Anything but reduced human monitoring became impossible by means of its physical and economic implications, and an advance towards an automated surveillance beco...

End-to-end Concept Word Detection for Video Captioning, Retrieval, and Question Answering
cs.CV
We propose a high-level concept word detector that can be integrated with any video-to-language models. It takes a video as input and generates a list of concept words as useful semantic priors for language generation models. The proposed word detector has two important properties. First, it does not require any extern...

Person Re-identification: Past, Present and Future
cs.CV
Person re-identification (re-ID) has become increasingly popular in the community due to its application and research significance. It aims at spotting a person of interest in other cameras. In the early days, hand-crafted algorithms and small-scale evaluation were predominantly reported. Recent years have witnessed th...

Learning Low Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks for High-Resolution Remote Sensing Image Retrieval
cs.CV
Learning powerful feature representations for image retrieval has always been a challenging task in the field of remote sensing. Traditional methods focus on extracting low-level hand-crafted features which are not only time-consuming but also tend to achieve unsatisfactory performance due to the content complexity of ...

FaceVR: Real-Time Facial Reenactment and Eye Gaze Control in Virtual Reality
cs.CV
We propose FaceVR, a novel image-based method that enables video teleconferencing in VR based on self-reenactment. State-of-the-art face tracking methods in the VR context are focused on the animation of rigged 3d avatars. While they achieve good tracking performance the results look cartoonish and not real. In contras...

Multiple Instance Learning Convolutional Neural Networks for Object Recognition
cs.CV
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have demon- strated its successful applications in computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing. For object recog- nition, CNNs might be limited by its strict label requirement and an implicit assumption that images are supposed to be target- object-dominated ...

Proposal for Automatic License and Number Plate Recognition System for Vehicle Identification
cs.CV
In this paper, we propose an automatic and mechanized license and number plate recognition (LNPR) system which can extract the license plate number of the vehicles passing through a given location using image processing algorithms. No additional devices such as GPS or radio frequency identification (RFID) need to be in...

Crossing the Road Without Traffic Lights: An Android-based Safety Device
cs.CV
In the absence of pedestrian crossing lights, finding a safe moment to cross the road is often hazardous and challenging, especially for people with visual impairments. We present a reliable low-cost solution, an Android device attached to a traffic sign or lighting pole near the crossing, indicating whether it is safe...

Restoring STM images via Sparse Coding: noise and artifact removal
cs.CV
In this article, we present a denoising algorithm to improve the interpretation and quality of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images. Given the high level of self-similarity of STM images, we propose a denoising algorithm by reformulating the true estimation problem as a sparse regression, often termed sparse codi...

Fused DNN: A deep neural network fusion approach to fast and robust pedestrian detection
cs.CV
We propose a deep neural network fusion architecture for fast and robust pedestrian detection. The proposed network fusion architecture allows for parallel processing of multiple networks for speed. A single shot deep convolutional network is trained as a object detector to generate all possible pedestrian candidates o...

Deep Learning Assessment of Tumor Proliferation in Breast Cancer Histological Images
cs.CV
Current analysis of tumor proliferation, the most salient prognostic biomarker for invasive breast cancer, is limited to subjective mitosis counting by pathologists in localized regions of tissue images. This study presents the first data-driven integrative approach to characterize the severity of tumor growth and spre...

The Analysis of Local Motion and Deformation in Image Sequences Inspired by Physical Electromagnetic Interaction
cs.CV
In order to analyze the moving and deforming of the objects in image sequence, a novel way is presented to analyze the local changes of object edges between two related images (such as two adjacent frames in a video sequence), which is inspired by the physical electromagnetic interaction. The changes of edge between ad...
