Title: Ensembling convolutional neural networks for human skin segmentation
Authors: Patryk Kuban, Michal Kawulok,
Abstract summary: We propose to train a convolutional network using the datasets focused on different features to create an ensemble whose individual outcomes are effectively combined. We expect that this study will help in developing new ensemble-based techniques that will improve the performance of semantic segmentation systems.

Abstract: Detecting and segmenting human skin regions in digital images is an intensively explored topic of computer vision with a variety of approaches proposed over the years that have been found useful in numerous practical applications. The first methods were based on pixel-wise skin color modeling and they were later enhanced with context-based analysis to include the textural and geometrical features, recently extracted using deep convolutional neural networks. It has been also demonstrated that skin regions can be segmented from grayscale images without using color information at all. However, the possibility to combine these two sources of information has not been explored so far and we address this research gap with the contribution reported in this paper. We propose to train a convolutional network using the datasets focused on different features to create an ensemble whose individual outcomes are effectively combined using yet another convolutional network trained to produce the final segmentation map. The experimental results clearly indicate that the proposed approach outperforms the basic classifiers, as well as an ensemble based on the voting scheme. We expect that this study will help in developing new ensemble-based techniques that will improve the performance of semantic segmentation systems, reaching beyond the problem of detecting human skin.

Advancing 3D finger knuckle recognition via deep feature learning [51.871256510747465]
Contactless 3D finger knuckle patterns have emerged as an effective biometric identifier due to its discriminativeness, visibility from a distance, and convenience. Recent research has developed a deep feature collaboration network which simultaneously incorporates intermediate features from deep neural networks with multiple scales. This paper advances this approach by investigating the possibility of learning a discriminative feature vector with the least possible dimension for representing 3D finger knuckle images.

A new approach to descriptors generation for image retrieval by analyzing activations of deep neural network layers [43.77224853200986]
We consider the problem of descriptors construction for the task of content-based image retrieval using deep neural networks. It is known that the total number of neurons in the convolutional part of the network is large and the majority of them have little influence on the final classification decision. We propose a novel algorithm that allows us to extract the most significant neuron activations and utilize this information to construct effective descriptors.
