• Abstract: In recent years deep neural networks have become the workhorse of computer vision. In this paper, we employ a deep learning approach to classify footwear impression's features known as \emph{descriptors} for forensic use cases. Within this process, we develop and evaluate an effective technique for feeding downsampled greyscale impressions to a neural network pre-trained on data from a different domain. Our approach relies on learnable preprocessing layer paired with multiple interpolation methods used in parallel. We empirically show that this technique outperforms using a single type of interpolated image without learnable preprocessing, and can help to avoid the computational penalty related to using high resolution inputs, by making more efficient use of the low resolution inputs. We also investigate the effect of preserving the aspect ratio of the inputs, which leads to considerable boost in accuracy without increasing the computational budget with respect to squished rectangular images. Finally, we formulate a set of best practices for transfer learning with greyscale inputs, potentially widely applicable in computer vision tasks ranging from footwear impression classification to medical imaging.

  This paper introduces the novel concept of Spiking-UNet for image processing, which combines the power of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) with the U-Net architecture. To achieve an efficient Spiking-UNet, we face two primary challenges: ensuring high-fidelity information propagation through the network via spikes and formulating an effective training strategy. Experimental results show that, on image segmentation and denoising, our Spiking-UNet achieves comparable performance to its non-spiking counterpart.

  We propose two image restoration approaches: (i) Deep Image Prior (DIP), which trains a convolutional neural network (CNN) from scratch in test time using the degraded image; and (ii) a backprojection (BP) fidelity term, which is an alternative to the standard least squares loss that is usually used in previous DIP works. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, termed BP-DIP, on the deblurring task and show its advantages over the plain DIP, with both higher PSNR values and better inference run-time.
