• Authors: Weijian Li, Haofu Liao, Shun Miao, Le Lu, and Jiebo Luo
• Abstract summary: We present a novel unsupervised learning approach to image landmark discovery by incorporating the inter-subject landmark consistencies on facial images. This is achieved via an inter-subject mapping module that transforms original subject landmarks based on an auxiliary subject-related structure. To recover from the transformed images back to the original subject, the landmark detector is forced to learn spatial locations that contain the consistent semantic meanings both for the paired intra-subject images and between the paired inter-subject images.

• Abstract: We present a novel unsupervised learning approach to image landmark discovery by incorporating the inter-subject landmark consistencies on facial images. This is achieved via an inter-subject mapping module that transforms original subject landmarks based on an auxiliary subject-related structure. To recover from the transformed images back to the original subject, the landmark detector is forced to learn spatial locations that contain the consistent semantic meanings both for the paired intra-subject images and between the paired inter-subject images. Our proposed method is extensively evaluated on two public facial image datasets (MAFL, AFLW) with various settings. Experimental results indicate that our method can extract the consistent landmarks for both datasets and achieve better performances compared to the previous state-of-the-art methods quantitatively and qualitatively.

  Unsupervised object discovery and localization aims to detect or segment objects in an image without any supervision. Recent efforts have demonstrated a notable potential to identify salient foreground objects by utilizing self-supervised transformer features.

  Image harmonization is a crucial technique in image composition that aims to seamlessly match the background by adjusting the foreground of composite images. Current methods adopt either global-level or pixel-level feature matching. We propose Semantic-guided Region-aware Instance Normalization (SRIN) that can utilize the semantic segmentation maps output by a pre-trained Segment Anything Model (SAM) to guide the visual consistency learning of foreground and background features.

  This study employs a fixation prediction model that emulates human objective-guided attention of searching for a given class in an image. The foveated pictures at each fixation point are then classified to determine whether the target is present or absent in the scene. We present a novel dual task model capable of performing fixation prediction and detection simultaneously, allowing knowledge transfer between the two tasks.

  We propose a lightweight, weakly supervised deep network to coarsely locate semantically salient regions. We then fuse multiple off-the-shelf deep models on these semantically salient regions as the pixel-wise saliency refinement. Our method is simple yet effective, which is the first attempt to consider the salient object detection mainly as an object-level semantic re-ranking problem.
