3D Point Cloud Denoising using Graph Laplacian Regularization of a Low Dimensional Manifold Model
cs.CV
3D point cloud - a new signal representation of volumetric objects - is a discrete collection of triples marking exterior object surface locations in 3D space. Conventional imperfect acquisition processes of 3D point cloud - e.g., stereo-matching from multiple viewpoint images or depth data acquired directly from activ...

Transferring Rich Deep Features for Facial Beauty Prediction
cs.CV
Feature extraction plays a significant part in computer vision tasks. In this paper, we propose a method which transfers rich deep features from a pretrained model on face verification task and feeds the features into Bayesian ridge regression algorithm for facial beauty prediction. We leverage the deep neural networks...

Learning Dynamic Memory Networks for Object Tracking
cs.CV
Template-matching methods for visual tracking have gained popularity recently due to their comparable performance and fast speed. However, they lack effective ways to adapt to changes in the target object's appearance, making their tracking accuracy still far from state-of-the-art. In this paper, we propose a dynamic m...

Flex-Convolution (Deep Learning Beyond Grid-Worlds)
cs.CV
The goal of this work is to enable deep neural networks to learn representations for irregular 3D structures -- just like in common approaches for 2D images. Unfortunately, current network primitives such as convolution layers are specifically designed to exploit the natural data representation of images -- a fixed and...

Unsupervised Cross-dataset Person Re-identification by Transfer Learning of Spatial-Temporal Patterns
cs.CV
Most of the proposed person re-identification algorithms conduct supervised training and testing on single labeled datasets with small size, so directly deploying these trained models to a large-scale real-world camera network may lead to poor performance due to underfitting. It is challenging to incrementally optimize...

Progressive Structure from Motion
cs.CV
Structure from Motion or the sparse 3D reconstruction out of individual photos is a long studied topic in computer vision. Yet none of the existing reconstruction pipelines fully addresses a progressive scenario where images are only getting available during the reconstruction process and intermediate results are deliv...

Discrete Potts Model for Generating Superpixels on Noisy Images
cs.CV
Many computer vision applications, such as object recognition and segmentation, increasingly build on superpixels. However, there have been so far few superpixel algorithms that systematically deal with noisy images. We propose to first decompose the image into equal-sized rectangular patches, which also sets the maxim...

Adaptive Co-weighting Deep Convolutional Features For Object Retrieval
cs.CV
Aggregating deep convolutional features into a global image vector has attracted sustained attention in image retrieval. In this paper, we propose an efficient unsupervised aggregation method that uses an adaptive Gaussian filter and an elementvalue sensitive vector to co-weight deep features. Specifically, the Gaussia...
