In contrast to previous work that relied solely on low-level features or used convolutional neural network (CNN) as a black-box, we use HLCs generated by pretrained ...

What Can Help Pedestrian Detection?
cs.CV
Aggregating extra features has been considered as an effective approach to boost traditional pedestrian detection methods. However, there is still a lack of studies on whether and how CNN-based pedestrian detectors can benefit from these extra features. The first contribution of this paper is exploring this issue by ag...

Face Recognition Machine Vision System Using Eigenfaces
cs.CV
Face Recognition is a common problem in Machine Learning. This technology has already been widely used in our lives. For example, Facebook can automatically tag people's faces in images, and also some mobile devices use face recognition to protect private security. Face images comes with different background, variant i...

A Dual-Source Approach for 3D Human Pose Estimation from a Single Image
cs.CV
In this work we address the challenging problem of 3D human pose estimation from single images. Recent approaches learn deep neural networks to regress 3D pose directly from images. One major challenge for such methods, however, is the collection of training data. Specifically, collecting large amounts of training data...

Generative Cooperative Net for Image Generation and Data Augmentation
cs.CV
How to build a good model for image generation given an abstract concept is a fundamental problem in computer vision. In this paper, we explore a generative model for the task of generating unseen images with desired features. We propose the Generative Cooperative Net (GCN) for image generation. The idea is similar to ...

Multi Resolution LSTM For Long Term Prediction In Neural Activity Video
cs.CV
Epileptic seizures are caused by abnormal, overly syn- chronized, electrical activity in the brain. The abnor- mal electrical activity manifests as waves, propagating across the brain. Accurate prediction of the propagation velocity and direction of these waves could enable real- time responsive brain stimulation to su...

Object Detection by Spatio-Temporal Analysis and Tracking of the Detected Objects in a Video with Variable Background
cs.CV
In this paper we propose a novel approach for detecting and tracking objects in videos with variable background i.e. videos captured by moving cameras without any additional sensor. In a video captured by a moving camera, both the background and foreground are changing in each frame of the image sequence. So for these ...

Learning non-maximum suppression
cs.CV
Object detectors have hugely profited from moving towards an end-to-end learning paradigm: proposals, features, and the classifier becoming one neural network improved results two-fold on general object detection. One indispensable component is non-maximum suppression (NMS), a post-processing algorithm responsible for ...

Temporal Segment Networks for Action Recognition in Videos
cs.CV
Deep convolutional networks have achieved great success for image recognition. However, for action recognition in videos, their advantage over traditional methods is not so evident. We present a general and flexible video-level framework for learning action models in videos. This method, called temporal segment network...

cs.CV
We present a method for generating a video of a talking face. The method takes as inputs: (i) still images of the target face, and (ii) an audio speech segment; and outputs a video of the target face lip synched with the audio. The method runs in real time and is applicable to faces and audio not seen at training time....

Residual Squeeze VGG16
cs.CV
Deep learning has given way to a new era of machine learning, apart from computer vision. Convolutional neural networks have been implemented in image classification, segmentation and object detection. Despite recent advancements, we are still in the very early stages and have yet to settle on best practices for networ...

A simple yet effective baseline for 3d human pose estimation
cs.CV
Following the success of deep convolutional networks, state-of-the-art methods for 3d human pose estimation have focused on deep end-to-end systems that predict 3d joint locations given raw image pixels. Despite their excellent performance, it is often not easy to understand whether their remaining error stems from a l...
