Detect What You Can: Detecting and Representing Objects using Holistic Models and Body Parts
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2014-06-10)
Detecting objects becomes difficult when we need to deal with large shape deformation, occlusion and low resolution. We propose a novel approach to i) handle large deformations and partial occlusions in animals (as examples ...
Human-Machine CRFs for Identifying Bottlenecks in Holistic Scene Understanding
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2014-06-15)
Recent trends in image understanding have pushed for holistic scene understanding models that jointly reason about various tasks such as object detection, scene recognition, shape analysis, contextual reasoning, and local ...
Parsing Semantic Parts of Cars Using Graphical Models and Segment Appearance Consistency
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2014-06-13)
This paper addresses the problem of semantic part parsing (segmentation) of cars, i.e.assigning every pixel within the car to one of the parts (e.g.body, window, lights, license plates and wheels). We formulate this as a ...
Complexity of Representation and Inference in Compositional Models with Part Sharing
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2015-05-05)
This paper performs a complexity analysis of a class of serial and parallel compositional models of multiple objects and shows that they enable efficient representation and rapid inference. Compositional models are generative ...
DeepVoting: A Robust and Explainable Deep Network for Semantic Part Detection under Partial Occlusion
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), 2018-06-19)
In this paper, we study the task of detecting semantic parts of an object, e.g., a wheel of a car, under partial occlusion. We propose that all models should be trained without seeing occlusions while being able to transfer ...
Recurrent Multimodal Interaction for Referring Image Segmentation
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), 2018-05-10)
In this paper we are interested in the problem of image segmentation given natural language descriptions, i.e. referring expressions. Existing works tackle this problem by first modeling images and sentences independently ...
Deep Regression Forests for Age Estimation
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), 2018-06-01)
Age estimation from facial images is typically cast as a nonlinear regression problem. The main challenge of this problem is the facial feature space w.r.t. ages is inhomogeneous, due to the large variation in facial ...
Semantic Part Segmentation using Compositional Model combining Shape and Appearance
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2015-06-08)
In this paper, we study the problem of semantic part segmentation for animals. This is more challenging than standard object detection, object segmentation and pose estimation tasks because semantic parts of animals often ...
Robust Estimation of 3D Human Poses from a Single Image
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2014-06-10)
Human pose estimation is a key step to action recognition. We propose a method of estimating 3D human poses from a single image, which works in conjunction with an existing 2D pose/joint detector. 3D pose estimation is ...
The Secrets of Salient Object Segmentation
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2014-06-13)
In this paper we provide an extensive evaluation of fixation prediction and salient object segmentation algorithms as well as statistics of major datasets. Our analysis identifies serious design flaws of existing salient ...
