• Title: Learning to search for and detect objects in foveal images using deep learning
• Authors: Beatriz Paula and Plinio Moreno
• Abstract summary: This study employs a fixation prediction model that emulates human objective-guided attention of searching for a given class in an image. The foveated pictures at each fixation point are then classified to determine whether the target is present or absent in the scene. We present a novel dual task model capable of performing fixation prediction and detection simultaneously, allowing knowledge transfer between the two tasks.

• Abstract: The human visual system processes images with varied degrees of resolution, with the fovea, a small portion of the retina, capturing the highest acuity region, which gradually declines toward the field of view's periphery. However, the majority of existing object localization methods rely on images acquired by image sensors with space-invariant resolution, ignoring biological attention mechanisms. As a region of interest pooling, this study employs a fixation prediction model that emulates human objective-guided attention of searching for a given class in an image. The foveated pictures at each fixation point are then classified to determine whether the target is present or absent in the scene. Throughout this two-stage pipeline method, we investigate the varying results obtained by utilizing high-level or panoptic features and provide a ground-truth label function for fixation sequences that is smoother, considering in a better way the spatial structure of the problem. Finally, we present a novel dual task model capable of performing fixation prediction and detection simultaneously, allowing knowledge transfer between the two tasks. We conclude that, due to the complementary nature of both tasks, the training process benefited from the sharing of knowledge, resulting in an improvement in performance when compared to the previous approach's baseline scores.

  We introduce an end-to-end differentiable foveated active vision architecture that leverages a graph convolutional network to process foveated images. Our model learns to iteratively attend to regions of the image relevant for classification. We find that our model outperforms a state-of-the-art CNN and foveated vision architectures of comparable parameters and a given pixel or budget.

  We propose a lightweight, weakly supervised deep network to coarsely locate semantically salient regions. We then fuse multiple off-the-shelf deep models on these semantically salient regions as the pixel-wise saliency refinement. Our method is simple yet effective, which is the first attempt to consider the salient object detection mainly as an object-level semantic re-ranking problem.

  We present a novel unsupervised learning approach to image landmark discovery by incorporating the inter-subject landmark consistencies on facial images. This is achieved via an inter-subject mapping module that transforms original subject landmarks based on an auxiliary subject-related structure. To recover from the transformed images back to the original subject, the landmark detector is forced to learn spatial locations that contain the consistent semantic meanings both for the paired intra-subject images and between the paired inter-subject images.
