• Abstract summary: neural networks can be effectively confused with even natural images examples. I suspect that the classification of an object is strongly influenced by the background pixels on which the object is located. I analyze the above problem using for this purpose saliency maps created by the LICNN network.

• Abstract: In recent years, neural networks have continued to flourish, achieving high efficiency in detecting relevant objects in photos or simply recognizing (classifying) these objects - mainly using CNN networks. Current solutions, however, are far from ideal, because it often turns out that network can be effectively confused with even natural images examples. I suspect that the classification of an object is strongly influenced by the background pixels on which the object is located. In my work, I analyze the above problem using for this purpose saliency maps created by the LICNN network. They are designed to suppress the neurons surrounding the examined object and, consequently, reduce the contribution of background pixels to the classifier predictions. My experiments on the natural and adversarial images datasets show that, indeed, there is a visible correlation between the background and the wrong-classified foreground object. This behavior of the network is not supported by human experience, because, for example, we do not confuse the yellow school bus with the snow plow just because it is on the snowy background.

  We present a segmentation pipeline to semi-automatically separate individuals and objects in images. Background objects such as beds, chairs, or wheelchairs can challenge fall detection systems, leading to false positive alarms. We demonstrate that object-specific contextual transformations during training effectively mitigate this challenge.

We find that the few largest pathways of an individual pixel from an image tend to cross the feature maps in each layer that is important for classification.

  convolutional neural networks can classify objects in images very accurately. It is well known that the attention of the network may not always be on the semantically important regions of the scene. We propose a new two-step training procedure called textitsplit training to reduce this bias in CNNs on both Infrared imagery and RGB data.

  We propose a simple yet surprisingly powerful data augmentation and training scheme we call Learning to Detect Every Thing (LDET) To avoid suppressing hidden objects, background objects that are visible but unlabeled, we paste annotated objects on a background image sampled from a small region of the original image. LDET leads to significant improvements on many datasets in the open world instance segmentation task.

  Deep neural networks recognize objects by analyzing local image details and summarizing their information along the inference layers to derive the final decision. Small sophisticated noise in the input images can accumulate along the network inference path and produce wrong decisions at the network output. Human eyes recognize objects based on their global structure and semantic cues, instead of local image textures.
