• Abstract: Multispectral disparity estimation is a difficult task for many reasons: it has all the same challenges as traditional visible-visible disparity estimation (occlusions, repetitive patterns, textureless surfaces), in addition of having very few common visual information between images (e.g. color information vs. thermal information). In this paper, we propose a new CNN architecture able to do disparity estimation between images from different spectrum, namely thermal and visible in our case. Our proposed model takes two patches as input and proceeds to do domain feature extraction for each of them. Features from both domains are then merged with two fusion operations, namely correlation and concatenation. These merged vectors are then forwarded to their respective classification heads, which are responsible for classifying the inputs as being same or not. Using two merging operations gives more robustness to our feature extraction process, which leads to more precise disparity estimation. Our method was tested using the publicly available LITIV 2014 and LITIV 2018 datasets, and showed best results when compared to other state of the art methods.

  Change captioning aims to succinctly describe the semantic change between a pair of similar images. Most existing methods directly capture the difference between them, which risk obtaining error-prone difference features. We propose a distractors-immune representation learning network that correlates the corresponding channels of two image representations.

  We argue that domain gaps can also be caused by different foreground (nucleus)-background ratios. First, we introduce a re-coloring method that relieves dramatic image color variations between different domains. Second, we propose a new instance normalization method that is robust to the variation in the foreground-background ratios.

IMACS extracts salient input features from an evaluation dataset, clusters them based on similarity, then visualizes differences in model attributions for similar input features. We show how our technique can uncover behavioral differences caused by domain shift between two models trained on satellite images.

We show that current contrastive approaches work surprisingly well across: (i) object- versus scene-centric, (ii) uniform versus long-tailed and (iii) general versus domain-specific datasets.
