• Abstract: Occlusions of objects is one of the indispensable problems in Computer vision. While Convolutional Neural Net-works (CNNs) provide various state of the art approaches for regular image classification, they however, prove to be not as effective for the classification of images with partial occlusions. Partial occlusion is scenario where an object is occluded partially by some other object/space. This problem when solved,holds tremendous potential to facilitate various scenarios. We in particular are interested in autonomous driving scenario and its implications in the same. Autonomous vehicle research is one of the hot topics of this decade, there are ample situations of partial occlusions of a driving sign or a person or other objects at different angles. Considering its prime importance in situations which can be further extended to video analytics of traffic data to handle crimes, anticipate income levels of various groups etc.,this holds the potential to be exploited in many ways. In this paper, we introduce our own synthetically created dataset by utilising Stanford Car Dataset and adding occlusions of various sizes and nature to it. On this created dataset, we conducted a comprehensive analysis using various state of the art CNN models such as VGG-19, ResNet 50/101, GoogleNet, DenseNet 121. We further in depth study the effect of varying occlusion proportions and nature on the performance of these models by fine tuning and training these from scratch on dataset and how is it likely to perform when trained in different scenarios, i.e., performance when training with occluded images and unoccluded images, which model is more robust to partial occlusions and soon.

• Are Deep Learning Models Robust to Partial Object Occlusion in Visual Recognition Tasks? [4.9260675787714]
  Image classification models, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), perform well on a variety of classification tasks but struggle under partial occlusion. We contribute the Image Recognition Under Occlusion (IRUO) dataset, based on the recently developed Occluded Video Instance (IRUO) dataset (arXiv:2102.01558) We find that modern CNN-based models show improved recognition accuracy on occluded images compared to earlier CNN-based models, and ViT-based models are more accurate than CNN-based models on occluded 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.

The tool is built on the CARLA simulator, using its Python API, and allows the generation of datasets for several vision tasks in the context of autonomous driving. The paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the performance of some defense methods against such attacks, showing how the datasets generated with CARLA-GeAR might be used in future work as a benchmark for adversarial defense in the real world.
