Locating objects in images (“detection”) quickly and efficiently enables object tracking and counting applications on embedded visual sensors (fixed and mobile). By 2012, progress on techniques for detecting objects in images – a topic of perennial interest in computer vision – had plateaued, and techniques based on histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) were state of the art. Soon, though, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), in addition to classifying objects, were also beginning to become effective at simultaneously detecting objects. Research in CNN-based object detection was jump-started by the groundbreaking region-based CNN (R-CNN). We’ll follow the evolution of neural network algorithms for object detection, starting with R-CNN and proceeding to Fast R-CNN, Faster R-CNN, “You Only Look Once” (YOLO), and up to the latest Single Shot Multibox detector. In this talk, we’ll examine the successive innovations in performance and accuracy embodied in these algorithms – which is a good way to understand the insights behind effective neural-network-based object localization. We’ll also contrast bounding-box approaches with pixel-level segmentation approaches and present pros and cons.

#6 PyData Warsaw: Deep learning for image segmentationMatthew Opala
Deep learning techniques ignited a great progress in many computer vision tasks like image classification, object detection, and segmentation.

In the talk we’re going to focus on DL application to image segmentation task. We want to show the practical importance of this task for the fashion industry by presenting our case study with results achieved with various attempts and methods.
Demo Videos: www.larry-lai.com/tracking.html
A real-time object tracking algorithm is proposed to cope with the variables of appearance changes like translation, zooming, rotation, panning/tilting, occlusion, luminance change, and blur. The proposed tracking scheme includes three steps. First, regional filter is employed to detect the candidate regions of targets. Next, these candidate regions are scaled to an uniform size for feature extraction. Finally, using feature matching to calculate the similarity between an instance and the target, and then store this instance if recognized as the target. We can see that the instance database would contain object's difference appearances as the tracking time going on. In other words, recognition capability will increase while the database become enlarging. To keep high computation performance, an algorithm with database reduction is proposed to limit the size of database. From our experiments, the proposed tracking system can achieve 30 FPS with resolution 1280x720 on an Intel I5 CPU 2.6GHz.

Surveillance scene classification using machine learningUtkarsh Contractor
The problem of scene classification in surveillance footage is of great importance for ensuring security in public areas. With challenges such as low quality feeds, occlusion, viewpoint variations, background clutter etc. The task is both challenging and error-prone. Therefore it is important to keep the false positives low to maintain a high accuracy of detection. In this paper, we adapt high performing CNN architectures to identify abandoned luggage in a surveillance feed. We explore several CNN based approaches, from Transfer Learning on the Imagenet dataset to object classification using Faster R-CNNs on the COCO dataset. Using network visualization techniques, we gain insight into what the neural network sees and the basis of classification decision. The experiments have been conducted on real world datasets, and highlights the complexity in such classifications. Obtained results indicate that a combination of proposed techniques outperforms the individual approaches.
Recognition and tracking moving objects using moving camera in complex scenesIJCSEA Journal
In this paper, we propose a method for effectively tracking moving objects in videos captured using a
moving camera in complex scenes. The video sequences may contain highly dynamic backgrounds and
illumination changes. Four main steps are involved in the proposed method. First, the video is stabilized
using affine transformation. Second, intelligent selection of frames is performed in order to extract only
those frames that have a considerable change in content. This step reduces complexity and computational
time. Third, the moving object is tracked using Kalman filter and Gaussian mixture model. Finally object
recognition using Bag of features is performed in order to recognize the moving objects.
Deep learning fundamental and Research project on IBM POWER9 system from NUSGanesan Narayanasamy
Moving object recognition (MOR) corresponds to the localisation and classification of moving objects in videos. Discriminating moving objects from static objects and background in videos is an essential task for many computer vision applications. MOR has widespread applications in intelligent visual surveillance, intrusion detection, anomaly detection and monitoring, industrial sites monitoring, detection-based tracking, autonomous vehicles, etc. In this session, Murari is going to talk about the deep learning algorithms to identify both locations and corresponding categories of moving objects with a convolutional network. The challenges in developing such algorithms will be discussed. The discourse will also include the implementation details of these models in both conventional and UAV videos.
Online video object segmentation via convolutional trident networkNAVER Engineering
발표자: 장원동 (고려대 박사과정)
발표일: 2017.8.
개요:
A semi-supervised online video object segmentation algorithm, which accepts user annotations about a target object at the first frame, will be presented. It propagates the segmentation labels at the previous frame to the current frame using optical flow vectors.
However, the propagation is error-prone. Therefore, I’ve developed the convolutional trident network, which has three decoding branches: separative, definite foreground, and definite background decoders.
Then, the algorithm performs Markov random field optimization based on outputs of the three decoders.
These process is sequentially carried out from the second to the last frames to extract a segment track of the target object.
Experimental results will demonstrate that this algorithm significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art conventional algorithms on the DAVIS benchmark dataset.

How can you handle defects? If you are in a factory, production can produce objects with defects. Or values from sensors can tell you over time that some values are not "normal". What can you do as a developer (not a Data Scientist) with .NET o Azure to detect these anomalies? Let's see how in this session.
This document provides an overview of deep generative learning and summarizes several key generative models including GANs, VAEs, diffusion models, and autoregressive models. It discusses the motivation for generative models and their applications such as image generation, text-to-image synthesis, and enhancing other media like video and speech. Example state-of-the-art models are provided for each application. The document also covers important concepts like the difference between discriminative and generative modeling, sampling techniques, and the training procedures for GANs and VAEs.
Machine translation and computer vision have greatly benefited from the advances in deep learning. A large and diverse amount of textual and visual data have been used to train neural networks whether in a supervised or self-supervised manner. Nevertheless, the convergence of the two fields in sign language translation and production still poses multiple open challenges, like the low video resources, limitations in hand pose estimation, or 3D spatial grounding from poses.
The transformer is the neural architecture that has received most attention in the early 2020's. It removed the recurrency in RNNs, replacing it with and attention mechanism across the input and output tokens of a sequence (cross-attenntion) and between the tokens composing the input (and output) sequences, named self-attention.
These slides review the research of our lab since 2016 on applied deep learning, starting from our participation in the TRECVID Instance Search 2014, moving into video analysis with CNN+RNN architectures, and our current efforts in sign language translation and production.

Integrating computer vision with natural language processing has achieved significant progress
over the last years owing to the continuous evolution of deep learning. A novel vision and language
task, which is tackled in the present Master thesis is referring video object segmentation, in which a
language query defines which instance to segment from a video sequence. One of the biggest chal-
lenges for this task is the lack of relatively large annotated datasets since a tremendous amount of
time and human effort is required for annotation. Moreover, existing datasets suffer from poor qual-
ity annotations in the sense that approximately one out of ten language expressions fails to uniquely
describe the target object.
The purpose of the present Master thesis is to address these challenges by proposing a novel
method for generating synthetic referring expressions for an image (video frame). This method pro-
duces synthetic referring expressions by using only the ground-truth annotations of the objects as well
as their attributes, which are detected by a state-of-the-art object detection deep neural network. One
of the advantages of the proposed method is that its formulation allows its application to any object
detection or segmentation dataset.
By using the proposed method, the first large-scale dataset with synthetic referring expressions for
video object segmentation is created, based on an existing large benchmark dataset for video instance
segmentation. A statistical analysis and comparison of the created synthetic dataset with existing ones
is also provided in the present Master thesis.
The conducted experiments on three different datasets used for referring video object segmen-
tation prove the efficiency of the generated synthetic data. More specifically, the obtained results
demonstrate that by pre-training a deep neural network with the proposed synthetic dataset one can
improve the ability of the network to generalize across different datasets, without any additional annotation cost. This outcome is even more important taking into account that no additional annotation cost is involved.

Pre-training Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents in a task-agnostic manner has shown promising results. However, previous works still struggle to learn and discover meaningful skills in high-dimensional state-spaces. We approach the problem by leveraging unsupervised skill discovery and self-supervised learning of state representations. In our work, we learn a compact latent representation by making use of variational or contrastive techniques. We demonstrate that both allow learning a set of basic navigation skills by maximizing an information theoretic objective. We assess our method in Minecraft 3D maps with different complexities. Our results show that representations and conditioned policies learned from pixels are enough for toy examples, but do not scale to realistic and complex maps. We also explore alternative rewards and input observations to overcome these limitations.

Sign language recognition and translation has been an active research field in the recent years with most approaches using deep neural networks to extract information from sign language data. This work investigates the mostly disregarded approach of using human keypoint estimation from image and video data with OpenPose in combination with transformer network architecture. Firstly, it was shown that it is possible to recognize individual signs (4.5% word error rate (WER)). Continuous sign language recognition though was more error prone (77.3% WER) and sign language translation was not possible using the proposed methods, which might be due to low accuracy scores of human keypoint estimation by OpenPose and accompanying loss of information or insufficient capacities of the used transformer model. Results may improve with the use of datasets containing higher repetition rates of individual signs or focusing more precisely on keypoint extraction of hands.

Deep neural networks have boosted the convergence of multimedia data analytics in a unified framework shared by practitioners in natural language, vision and speech. Image captioning, lip reading or video sonorization are some of the first applications of a new and exciting field of research exploiting the generalization properties of deep neural representation. This tutorial will firstly review the basic neural architectures to encode and decode vision, text and audio, to later review the those models that have successfully translated information across modalities.
Image segmentation is a classic computer vision task that aims at labeling pixels with semantic classes.

Video object segmentation can be understood as a sequence-to-sequence task that can benefit from the curriculum learning strategies for better and faster training of deep neural networks. This work explores different schedule sampling and frame skipping variations to significantly improve the performance of a recurrent architecture. Our results on the car class of the KITTI-MOTS challenge indicate that, surprisingly, an inverse schedule sampling is a better option than a classic forward one. Also, that a progressive skipping of frames during training is beneficial, but only when training with the ground truth masks instead of the predicted ones.
Deep neural networks have achieved outstanding results in various applications such as vision, language, audio, speech, or reinforcement learning. These powerful function approximators typically require large amounts of data to be trained, which poses a challenge in the usual case where little labeled data is available. During the last year, multiple solutions have been proposed to leverage this problem, based on the concept of self-supervised learning, which can be understood as a specific case of unsupervised learning. This talk will cover its basic principles and provide examples in the field of multimedia.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
