• Abstract: Visual Search is referred to the task of finding a target object among a set of distracting objects in a visual display. In this paper, based on an independent analysis of the COCO-Search18 dataset, we investigate how the performance of human participants during visual search is affected by different parameters such as the size and eccentricity of the target object. We also study the correlation between the error rate of participants and search performance. Our studies show that a bigger and more eccentric target is found faster with fewer number of fixations.

• Correlation of Object Detection Performance with Visual Saliency and Depth Estimation [0.09208007322096533]
  This paper investigates the correlations between object detection accuracy and two fundamental visual tasks: depth prediction and visual saliency prediction. Our analysis reveals significant variations in these correlations across object categories, with larger objects showing correlation values up to three times higher than smaller objects. These findings suggest incorporating visual saliency features into object detection architectures could be more beneficial than depth information.

  The aim of this work is to establish how accurately a recent semantic-based active perception model is able to complete visual tasks that are regularly performed by humans. This model exploits the ability of current object detectors to localize and classify a large number of object classes and to update a semantic description of a scene across multiple fixations. In the task of scene exploration, the semantic-based method demonstrates superior performance compared to the traditional saliency-based model.

  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 present two approaches to model visual attention and distraction of observers during visual search. Our first approach adapts a light-weight free-viewing saliency model to predict eye fixation density maps of human observers over pixels of search images. Our second approach is object-based and predicts the distractor and target objects during visual search.

  We propose to keep track of distractor objects in order to continue tracking the target. To tackle the problem of lacking ground-truth correspondences between distractor objects in visual tracking, we propose a training strategy that combines partial annotations with self-supervision. Our tracker sets a new state-of-the-art on six benchmarks, achieving an AUC score of 67.2% on LaSOT and a +6.1% absolute gain on the OxUvA long-term dataset.

  We tackle the challenging problem of human-object interaction (HOI) detection. Existing methods either recognize the interaction of each human-object pair in isolation or perform joint inference based on complex appearance-based features. In this paper, we leverage an abstract spatial-semantic representation to describe each human-object pair and aggregate the contextual information of the scene via a dual relation graph.

  We consider the problem of Human-Object Interaction (HOI) Detection, which aims to locate and recognize HOI instances in the form of human, action, object> in images. We argue that multi-level consistencies among objects, actions and interactions are strong cues for generating semantic representations of rare or previously unseen HOIs. Our model takes visual features of candidate human-object pairs and word embeddings of HOI labels as inputs, maps them into visual-semantic joint embedding space and obtains detection results by measuring their similarities.
