We introduce a novel class of features for multidimensional time series, that are invariant with respect to transformations of the ambient space. The general linear group, the group of rotations and the group of permutations of the axes are considered. The starting point for their construction is Chen's iterated-integr...

Deep Chain HDRI: Reconstructing a High Dynamic Range Image from a Single Low Dynamic Range Image
cs.CV
In this paper, we propose a novel deep neural network model that reconstructs a high dynamic range (HDR) image from a single low dynamic range (LDR) image. The proposed model is based on a convolutional neural network composed of dilated convolutional layers, and infers LDR images with various exposures and illuminatio...

BinaryRelax: A Relaxation Approach For Training Deep Neural Networks With Quantized Weights
cs.CV
We propose BinaryRelax, a simple two-phase algorithm, for training deep neural networks with quantized weights. The set constraint that characterizes the quantization of weights is not imposed until the late stage of training, and a sequence of pseudo quantized weights is maintained. Specifically, we relax the hard con...

Image Provenance Analysis at Scale
cs.CV
Prior art has shown it is possible to estimate, through image processing and computer vision techniques, the types and parameters of transformations that have been applied to the content of individual images to obtain new images. Given a large corpus of images and a query image, an interesting further step is to retrie...

Multiple Description Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Compression
cs.MM
Multiple description coding (MDC) is able to stably transmit the signal in the un-reliable and non-prioritized networks, which has been broadly studied for several decades. However, the traditional MDC doesn't well leverage image's context features to generate multiple descriptions. In this paper, we propose a novel st...

Determination of Digital Straight Segments Using the Slope
cs.CV
We present a new method for the recognition of digital straight lines based on the slope. This method combines the Freeman's chain coding scheme and new discovered properties of the digital slope introduced in this paper. We also present the efficiency of our method from a testbed.

DeepISP: Learning End-to-End Image Processing Pipeline
eess.IV
We present DeepISP, a full end-to-end deep neural model of the camera image signal processing (ISP) pipeline. Our model learns a mapping from the raw low-light mosaiced image to the final visually compelling image and encompasses low-level tasks such as demosaicing and denoising as well as higher-level tasks such as co...

PU-Net: Point Cloud Upsampling Network
cs.CV
Learning and analyzing 3D point cloud with deep networks is challenging due to the sparseness and irregularity of the data. In this paper, we present a data-driven point cloud upsampling technique. The key idea is to learn multi-level features per point, and then expanding them via a multi-branch convolution unit, to i...

Food recognition and recipe analysis: integrating visual content, context and external knowledge
cs.CV
The central role of food in our individual and social life, combined with recent technological advances, has motivated a growing interest in applications that help to better monitor dietary habits as well as the exploration and retrieval of food-related information. We review how visual content, context and external kn...

High Resolution Face Completion with Multiple Controllable Attributes via Fully End-to-End Progressive Generative Adversarial Networks
cs.CV
We present a deep learning approach for high resolution face completion with multiple controllable attributes (e.g., male and smiling) under arbitrary masks. Face completion entails understanding both structural meaningfulness and appearance consistency locally and globally to fill in "holes" whose content do not appea...

Generative Image Inpainting with Contextual Attention
cs.CV
Recent deep learning based approaches have shown promising results for the challenging task of inpainting large missing regions in an image. These methods can generate visually plausible image structures and textures, but often create distorted structures or blurry textures inconsistent with surrounding areas. This is ...

DVQA: Understanding Data Visualizations via Question Answering
cs.CV
Bar charts are an effective way for humans to convey information to each other, but today's algorithms cannot parse them. Existing methods fail when faced with minor variations in appearance. Here, we present DVQA, a dataset that tests many aspects of bar chart understanding in a question answering framework. Unlike vi...

A Tutorial on Modeling and Inference in Undirected Graphical Models for Hyperspectral Image Analysis
cs.CV
Undirected graphical models have been successfully used to jointly model the spatial and the spectral dependencies in earth observing hyperspectral images. They produce less noisy, smooth, and spatially coherent land cover maps and give top accuracies on many datasets. Moreover, they can easily be combined with other s...
