Deep Lesion Graphs in the Wild: Relationship Learning and Organization of Significant Radiology Image Findings in a Diverse Large-scale Lesion Database
cs.CV
Radiologists in their daily work routinely find and annotate significant abnormalities on a large number of radiology images. Such abnormalities, or lesions, have collected over years and stored in hospitals' picture archiving and communication systems. However, they are basically unsorted and lack semantic annotations...

Deep-Person: Learning Discriminative Deep Features for Person Re-Identification
cs.CV
Recently, many methods of person re-identification (Re-ID) rely on part-based feature representation to learn a discriminative pedestrian descriptor. However, the spatial context between these parts is ignored for the independent extractor to each separate part. In this paper, we propose to apply Long Short-Term Memory...

An Adaptive Fuzzy-Based System to Simulate, Quantify and Compensate Color Blindness
cs.CV
About 8% of the male population of the world are affected by a determined type of color vision disturbance, which varies from the partial to complete reduction of the ability to distinguish certain colors. A considerable amount of color blind people are able to live all life long without knowing they have color vision ...

Image2Mesh: A Learning Framework for Single Image 3D Reconstruction
cs.CV
One challenge that remains open in 3D deep learning is how to efficiently represent 3D data to feed deep networks. Recent works have relied on volumetric or point cloud representations, but such approaches suffer from a number of issues such as computational complexity, unordered data, and lack of finer geometry. This ...

Interpretable Facial Relational Network Using Relational Importance
cs.CV
Human face analysis is an important task in computer vision. According to cognitive-psychological studies, facial dynamics could provide crucial cues for face analysis. In particular, the motion of facial local regions in facial expression is related to the motion of other facial regions. In this paper, a novel deep le...

BLADE: Filter Learning for General Purpose Computational Photography
cs.CV
The Rapid and Accurate Image Super Resolution (RAISR) method of Romano, Isidoro, and Milanfar is a computationally efficient image upscaling method using a trained set of filters. We describe a generalization of RAISR, which we name Best Linear Adaptive Enhancement (BLADE). This approach is a trainable edge-adaptive fi...

FSRNet: End-to-End Learning Face Super-Resolution with Facial Priors
cs.CV
Face Super-Resolution (SR) is a domain-specific super-resolution problem. The specific facial prior knowledge could be leveraged for better super-resolving face images. We present a novel deep end-to-end trainable Face Super-Resolution Network (FSRNet), which makes full use of the geometry prior, i.e., facial landmark ...

Deep Depth Inference using Binocular and Monocular Cues
cs.CV
Human visual system relies on both binocular stereo cues and monocular focusness cues to gain effective 3D perception. In computer vision, the two problems are traditionally solved in separate tracks. In this paper, we present a unified learning-based technique that simultaneously uses both types of cues for depth infe...
