• Abstract: Compression technology is essential for efficient image transmission and storage. With the rapid advances in deep learning, images are beginning to be used for image recognition as well as for human vision. For this reason, research has been conducted on image coding for image recognition, and this field is called Image Coding for Machines (ICM). There are two main approaches in ICM: the ROI-based approach and the task-loss-based approach. The former approach has the problem of requiring an ROI-map as input in addition to the input image. The latter approach has the problems of difficulty in learning the task-loss, and lack of robustness because the specific image recognition model is used to compute the loss function. To solve these problems, we propose an image compression model that learns object regions. Our model does not require additional information as input, such as an ROI-map, and does not use task-loss. Therefore, it is possible to compress images for various image recognition models. In the experiments, we demonstrate the versatility of the proposed method by using three different image recognition models and three different datasets. In addition, we verify the effectiveness of our model by comparing it with previous methods.

  Deep learning-based image matching algorithms have dramatically outperformed humans in rapidly and accurately finding large amounts of correspondences. We propose a large-scale pre-training framework that utilizes synthetic cross-modal training signals to train models to recognize and match fundamental structures across images. Our key finding is that the matching model trained with our framework achieves remarkable generalizability across more than eight unseen cross-modality registration tasks.

  We deal with the problem in a reasonable new setting, namely 3D shape is exploited in the training process, and the testing is still purely image-based. We propose a novel contrastive knowledge distillation framework that effectively transfers 3D-augmented image representation from a multi-modal model to an image-based model. We experimentally report state-of-the-art results compared with existing category-agnostic image-based methods by a large margin.
