• Abstract summary: E2ETag is an end-to-end trainable method for designing fiducial markers and a complimentary detector. It learns to generate markers that can be detected and classified in challenging real-world environments using a fully convolutional detector network. Results demonstrate that E2ETag outperforms existing methods in ideal conditions.

• Abstract: Existing fiducial markers solutions are designed for efficient detection and decoding, however, their ability to stand out in natural environments is difficult to infer from relatively limited analysis. Furthermore, worsening performance in challenging image capture scenarios - such as poor exposure, motion blur, and off-axis viewing - sheds light on their limitations. E2ETag introduces an end-to-end trainable method for designing fiducial markers and a complimentary detector. By introducing back-propagatable marker augmentation and superimposition into training, the method learns to generate markers that can be detected and classified in challenging real-world environments using a fully convolutional detector network. Results demonstrate that E2ETag outperforms existing methods in ideal conditions and performs much better in the presence of motion blur, contrast fluctuations, noise, and off-axis viewing angles.

  This paper introduces the first weakly semi-supervised Camouflaged Object Detection (COD) method. It aims for budget-efficient and high-precision camouflaged object segmentation with an extremely limited number of fully labeled images. We propose a noise correction loss that facilitates the model's learning of correct pixels in the early learning stage. When using only 20% of fully labeled data, our method shows superior performance over the state-of-the-art methods.

  Existing detection methods assume that markers are printed on ideally planar surfaces. A fiducial marker generator creates a set of free-form color patterns to encode significantly large-scale information. A differentiable image simulator creates a training dataset of photorealistic scene images with the deformed markers. A trained marker detector seeks the regions of interest and recognizes multiple marker patterns simultaneously.
