Deep Structured Energy-Based Image Inpainting
cs.CV
In this paper, we propose a structured image inpainting method employing an energy based model. In order to learn structural relationship between patterns observed in images and missing regions of the images, we employ an energy-based structured prediction method. The structural relationship is learned by minimizing an...

Near-lossless L-infinity constrained Multi-rate Image Decompression via Deep Neural Network
cs.CV
Recently a number of CNN-based techniques were proposed to remove image compression artifacts. As in other restoration applications, these techniques all learn a mapping from decompressed patches to the original counterparts under the ubiquitous L2 metric. However, this approach is incapable of restoring distinctive im...

Unsupervised learning from videos using temporal coherency deep networks
cs.CV
In this work we address the challenging problem of unsupervised learning from videos. Existing methods utilize the spatio-temporal continuity in contiguous video frames as regularization for the learning process. Typically, this temporal coherence of close frames is used as a free form of annotation, encouraging the le...

The challenge of simultaneous object detection and pose estimation: a comparative study
cs.CV
Detecting objects and estimating their pose remains as one of the major challenges of the computer vision research community. There exists a compromise between localizing the objects and estimating their viewpoints. The detector ideally needs to be view-invariant, while the pose estimation process should be able to gen...

Personalized Human Activity Recognition Using Convolutional Neural Networks
cs.CV
A major barrier to the personalized Human Activity Recognition using wearable sensors is that the performance of the recognition model drops significantly upon adoption of the system by new users or changes in physical/ behavioral status of users. Therefore, the model needs to be retrained by collecting new labeled dat...

Class label autoencoder for zero-shot learning
cs.CV
Existing zero-shot learning (ZSL) methods usually learn a projection function between a feature space and a semantic embedding space(text or attribute space) in the training seen classes or testing unseen classes. However, the projection function cannot be used between the feature space and multi-semantic embedding spa...

Collaborative Large-Scale Dense 3D Reconstruction with Online Inter-Agent Pose Optimisation
cs.CV
Reconstructing dense, volumetric models of real-world 3D scenes is important for many tasks, but capturing large scenes can take significant time, and the risk of transient changes to the scene goes up as the capture time increases. These are good reasons to want instead to capture several smaller sub-scenes that can b...
