Many of the proposed fire detection algorithms in a still image are prone to false alarms caused by objects with a colour similar to fire. To design a colour-based system with a better false alarm rate, a new colour-differentiating conversion m...

Learning to Localize Sound Source in Visual Scenes
cs.CV
Visual events are usually accompanied by sounds in our daily lives. We pose the question: Can the machine learn the correspondence between visual scene and the sound, and localize the sound source only by observing sound and visual scene pairs like human? In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised algorithm to addr...

Learning Local Distortion Visibility From Image Quality Data-sets
cs.MM
Accurate prediction of local distortion visibility thresholds is critical in many image and video processing applications. Existing methods require an accurate modeling of the human visual system, and are derived through pshycophysical experiments with simple, artificial stimuli. These approaches, however, are difficul...

Omnidirectional CNN for Visual Place Recognition and Navigation
cs.CV
$ $Visual place recognition is challenging, especially when only a few place exemplars are given. To mitigate the challenge, we consider place recognition method using omnidirectional cameras and propose a novel Omnidirectional Convolutional Neural Network (O-CNN) to handle severe camera pose variation. Given a visual ...

Image Segmentation and Processing for Efficient Parking Space Analysis
eess.IV
In this paper, we develop a method to detect vacant parking spaces in an environment with unclear segments and contours with the help of MATLAB image processing capabilities. Due to the anomalies present in the parking spaces, such as uneven illumination, distorted slot lines and overlapping of cars. The present-day co...

Multi-Frame Quality Enhancement for Compressed Video
cs.CV
The past few years have witnessed great success in applying deep learning to enhance the quality of compressed image/video. The existing approaches mainly focus on enhancing the quality of a single frame, ignoring the similarity between consecutive frames. In this paper, we investigate that heavy quality fluctuation ex...

Towards Monocular Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Estimation by Convolutional Neural Networks - Application on Synthetic Aperture Radar Images
eess.SP
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry (InSAR) is performed using repeat-pass geometry. InSAR technique is used to estimate the topographic reconstruction of the earth surface. The main problem of the range-Doppler focusing technique is the nature of the two-dimensional SAR result, affected by the layover indete...

Approximate Query Matching for Image Retrieval
cs.CV
Traditional image recognition involves identifying the key object in a portrait-type image with a single object focus (ILSVRC, AlexNet, and VGG). More recent approaches consider dense image recognition - segmenting an image with appropriate bounding boxes and performing image recognition within these bounding boxes (Se...

Feature Distillation: DNN-Oriented JPEG Compression Against Adversarial Examples
cs.CV
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable performance in a myriad of realistic applications. However, recent studies show that well-trained DNNs can be easily misled by adversarial examples (AE) -- the maliciously crafted inputs by introducing small and imperceptible input perturbations. Existing mitigation ...

XNORBIN: A 95 TOp/s/W Hardware Accelerator for Binary Convolutional Neural Networks
cs.CV
Deploying state-of-the-art CNNs requires power-hungry processors and off-chip memory. This precludes the implementation of CNNs in low-power embedded systems. Recent research shows CNNs sustain extreme quantization, binarizing their weights and intermediate feature maps, thereby saving 8-32\x memory and collapsing ener...

It is difficult to estimate the midsagittal plane of human subjects with craniomaxillofacial (CMF) deformities. We have developed a LAndmark GEometric Routine (LAGER), which automatically estimates a midsagittal plane for such subjects. The LAGER algorithm was based on the assumption that the optimal midsagittal plane ...
