• Abstract: There has been an extensive use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in search and rescue missions to distribute first aid kits and food packets. It is important that these UAVs are able to identify and distinguish the markers from one another for effective distribution. One of the common ways to mark the locations is via the use of characters superimposed on shapes of various colors which gives rise to wide variety of markers based on combination of different shapes, characters, and their respective colors. In this paper, we propose an object detection and classification pipeline which prevents false positives and minimizes misclassification of alphanumeric characters and shapes in aerial images. Our method makes use of traditional computer vision techniques and unsupervised machine learning methods for identifying region proposals, segmenting the image targets and removing false positives. We make use of a computationally light model for classification, making it easy to be deployed on any aerial vehicle.

  We present a novel Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) system using open-vocabulary object detection and classification models. A primary advantage of this approach is that target classes can be defined just before runtime by a non-technical end user. Nuances in the desired targets can be expressed in natural language, which is useful for unique targets with little or no training data.

  Locating overlapping marks faces many difficulties such as no texture, less contextual information, hallow shape and tiny size. Here, we formulate it as a optimization problem on clustering-based re-visualization from a non-training generative perspective. We especially built a dataset named 2023 containing hundreds of scatter images with different markers and various levels of overlapping severity, and tested the proposed method and compared it to existing methods.

  Discriminative Pseudo-label Sampling (DiPS) is introduced to leverage class-agnostic maps for weakly-supervised object localization. DiPS relies on a pre-trained classifier to identify the most discriminative regions of each attention map. It provides a rich pool of diverse and discriminative proposals to cover different parts of the object.

  Existing works in self-supervised landmark detection are based on learning dense (pixel-level) feature representations from an image. We introduce an approach to enhance the learning of dense equivariant representations in a self-supervised fashion. We show that having such a prior in the feature extractor helps in landmark detection, even under drastically limited number of annotations.
