• Abstract: This work presents an evaluation of CNN models and data augmentation to carry out the hierarchical localization of a mobile robot by using omnidireccional images. In this sense, an ablation study of different state-of-the-art CNN models used as backbone is presented and a variety of data augmentation visual effects are proposed for addressing the visual localization of the robot. The proposed method is based on the adaption and re-training of a CNN with a dual purpose: (1) to perform a rough localization step in which the model is used to predict the room from which an image was captured, and (2) to address the fine localization step, which consists in retrieving the most similar image of the visual map among those contained in the previously predicted room by means of a pairwise comparison between descriptors obtained from an intermediate layer of the CNN. In this sense, we evaluate the impact of different state-of-the-art CNN models such as ConvNeXt for addressing the proposed localization. Finally, a variety of data augmentation visual effects are separately employed for training the model and their impact is assessed. The performance of the resulting CNNs is evaluated under real operation conditions, including changes in the lighting conditions.

Our method decouples each image into discriminative and noise-prone regions, and then heterogeneously combines these regions to train CNN models. Experiment results show the high generalization performance of our method on testing data that are composed of unseen contexts.

  Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been shown to provide excellent models for its functional analogue in the brain, the ventral stream in visual cortex. Here we consider some prominent statistical patterns that are known to exist in the internal representations of either CNNs or the visual cortex. We show that CNNs and visual cortex share a similarly tight relationship between dimensionality expansion/reduction of object representations and reformatting of image information.

  Video-based person re-identification (re-ID) is an important technique in visual surveillance systems which aims to match video snippets of people captured by different cameras. Existing methods are mostly based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), whose building blocks either process local neighbor pixels at a time, or, when 3D convolutions are used to model temporal information, suffer from the misalignment problem caused by person movement. In this paper, we propose to overcome the limitations of normal convolutions with a human-oriented graph method. Specifically, features located at person joint keypoints are extracted and connected as a spatial-temporal graph

The implications are far-reaching, suggesting an underlying commonality between representations learned by networks designed and trained for a common task.

We show that training a CNN to a specific magnitude of noise leads to a "Goldilocks Zone" with regard to the noise levels where that CNN performs best.
