• Abstract summary: This paper investigates the application of deep convolutional neural networks with prohibitively small datasets to the problem of macular edema segmentation. We find that, contrary to popular belief, neural architectures within this application setting are able to achieve close to human-level performance on unseen test images without requiring large numbers of training examples.

• Abstract: This paper investigates the application of deep convolutional neural networks with prohibitively small datasets to the problem of macular edema segmentation. In particular, we investigate several different heavily regularized architectures. We find that, contrary to popular belief, neural architectures within this application setting are able to achieve close to human-level performance on unseen test images without requiring large numbers of training examples. Annotating these 3D datasets is difficult, with multiple criteria required. It takes an experienced clinician two days to annotate a single 3D image, whereas our trained model achieves similar performance in less than a second. We found that an approach which uses targeted dataset augmentation, alongside architectural simplification with an emphasis on residual design, has acceptable generalization performance - despite relying on fewer than 15 training examples.

  Category-level pose estimation is a challenging task with many potential applications in computer vision and robotics. We propose to utilize both geometric and semantic features obtained from a pre-trained foundation model. This requires significantly less data to train than prior methods since the semantic features are robust to object texture and appearance.

We show that the proposed method is architecture agnostic and can be plugged into various prior multi-task backbones to improve their performance.

  Contactless 3D finger knuckle patterns have emerged as an effective biometric identifier due to its discriminativeness, visibility from a distance, and convenience. Recent research has developed a deep feature collaboration network which simultaneously incorporates intermediate features from deep neural networks with multiple scales. This paper advances this approach by investigating the possibility of learning a discriminative feature vector with the least possible dimension for representing 3D finger knuckle images.

  Reconstructing high-fidelity 3D objects from sparse, partial observation is crucial for various applications in computer vision, robotics, and graphics. Recent neural implicit modeling methods show promising results on synthetic or dense datasets. But, they perform poorly on real-world data that is sparse and noisy. This paper analyzes the root cause of such deficient performance of a popular neural implicit model.
