• Title: Accelerated Sub-Image Search For Variable-Size Patches Identification Based On Virtual Time Series Transformation And Segmentation
• Authors: Mogens Plessen,
• Abstract summary: This paper addresses two tasks: (i) fixed-size objects such as hay bales to be identified in an aerial image for a given reference image of the object, and (ii) variable-size patches such as areas on fields requiring spot spraying or other handling are to be identified in an image for a given small-scale reference image. The exact number of similar sub-images is not known a priori.

• Abstract: This paper addresses two tasks: (i) fixed-size objects such as hay bales are to be identified in an aerial image for a given reference image of the object, and (ii) variable-size patches such as areas on fields requiring spot spraying or other handling are to be identified in an image for a given small-scale reference image. Both tasks are related. The second differs in that identified sub-images similar to the reference image are further clustered before patches contours are determined by solving a traveling salesman problem. Both tasks are complex in that the exact number of similar sub-images is not known a priori. The main discussion of this paper is presentation of an acceleration mechanism for sub-image search that is based on a transformation of an image to multivariate time series along the RGB-channels and subsequent segmentation to reduce the 2D search space in the image. Two variations of the acceleration mechanism are compared to exhaustive search on diverse synthetic and real-world images. Quantitatively, proposed method results in solve time reductions of up to 2 orders of magnitude, while qualitatively delivering comparative visual results. Proposed method is neural network-free and does not use any image pre-processing.

  We present a novel CNN-based method for panoptic segmentation. We propose a new depth-aware dice loss term which penalises the assignment of pixels to the same thing instance. Experiments carried out on the Cityscapes dataset show that the proposed method reduces the number of objects that are erroneously merged into one thing instance.

  This study employs a fixation prediction model that emulates human objective-guided attention of searching for a given class in an image. The foveated pictures at each fixation point are then classified to determine whether the target is present or absent in the scene. We present a novel dual task model capable of performing fixation prediction and detection simultaneously, allowing knowledge transfer between the two tasks.

  Copy-move forgery is a manipulation of copying and pasting specific patches from and to an image, with potentially illegal or unethical uses. Recent advances in the forensic methods for copy-move forgery have shown increasing success in detection accuracy and robustness. For images with high self-similarity or strong signal corruption, the existing algorithms often exhibit inefficient processes and unreliable results.

Deep learning enables us to perform image-to-image transformation tasks for various types of microscopy image reconstruction. We propose the augmented equivariant attention networks (AEANets) with better capability to capture inter-image dependencies.

  We propose a lightweight, weakly supervised deep network to coarsely locate semantically salient regions. We then fuse multiple off-the-shelf deep models on these semantically salient regions as the pixel-wise saliency refinement. Our method is simple yet effective, which is the first attempt to consider the salient object detection mainly as an object-level semantic re-ranking problem.
