• Abstract: We present methods for conditional and residual coding in the context of scalable coding for humans and machines. Our focus is on optimizing the rate-distortion performance of the reconstruction task using the information available in the computer vision task. We include an information analysis of both approaches to provide baselines and also propose an entropy model suitable for conditional coding with increased modelling capacity and similar tractability as previous work. We apply these methods to image reconstruction, using, in one instance, representations created for semantic segmentation on the Cityscapes dataset, and in another instance, representations created for object detection on the COCO dataset. In both experiments, we obtain similar performance between the conditional and residual methods, with the resulting rate-distortion curves contained within our baselines.

  We propose an end-to-end trainable, cross-category method for reconstructing multiple man-made articulated objects from a single RGBD image. We depart from previous works that rely on learning instance-level latent space, focusing on man-made articulated objects with predefined part counts. Our method successfully reconstructs variously structured multiple instances that previous works cannot handle, and outperforms prior works in shape reconstruction and kinematics estimation.

  SeNM-VAE is a semi-supervised noise modeling method that leverages both paired and unpaired datasets to generate realistic degraded data. We employ our method to generate paired training samples for real-world image denoising and super-resolution tasks.

  In the framework of learned image compression, the context model plays a pivotal role in capturing the dependencies among latent representations. We propose the textbfCorner-to-Center transformer-based Context Model (C$3$M) designed to enhance context and latent predictions. In addition, to enlarge the receptive field in the analysis and synthesis transformation, we use the Long-range Crossing Attention Module (LCAM) in the encoder/decoder.

• Augmentation Invariance and Adaptive Sampling in Semantic Segmentation of Agricultural Aerial Images [16.101248613062292]
  We investigate the problem of Semantic for agricultural aerial imagery. The existing methods used for this task are designed without considering two characteristics of the aerial data. We propose a solution based on two ideas: (i) we use together a set of suitable augmentation and a consistency loss to guide the model to learn semantic representations that are invariant to the photometric and geometric shifts typical of the top-down perspective. With an extensive set of experiments conducted on the Agriculture-Vision dataset, we demonstrate that our proposed strategies improve the performance of the current state-of-the-art method.

  Simulation-based inference enables learning the parameters of a model even when its likelihood cannot be computed in practice. One class of methods uses data simulated with different parameters to infer an amortized estimator for the likelihood-to-evidence ratio. We show that this approach can be formulated in terms of mutual information between model parameters and simulated data.
