FASA: Fast, Accurate, and Size-Aware Salient Object Detection

Sabine Süsstrunk, Gökhan Yildirim

Fast and accurate salient-object detectors are important for various image processing and computer vision applications, such as adaptive compression and object segmentation. It is also desirable to have a detector that is aware of the position and the size ...

Modeling the Importance of Faces in Natural Images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Cheryl Shaulya Lau, Appu Shaji, Gökhan Yildirim, Bin Jin

In this work we study the varying importance of faces in images. Face importance is found to be affected by the size and number of faces present. We collected a dataset of 152 face images with faces in different size and number of faces. We conducted a cro ...

Saliency-based Representations and Multi-component Classifiers for Visual Scene Recognition

Marco Fornoni

Visual scene recognition deals with the problem of automatically recognizing the high-level semantic concept describing a given image as a whole, such as the environment in which the scene is occurring (e.g. a mountain), or the event that is taking place ( ...

Leveraging Colour Segmentation for Upper-Body Detection

Jean-Marc Odobez

This paper presents an upper-body detection algorithm that extends classical shape-based detectors through the use of additional semantic colour segmentation cues. More precisely, candidate upper-body image patches produced by a base detector are soft-segm ...

Incorporating Near-Infrared into Scene Understanding

Neda Salamati

Recent progress in computational photography has shown that we can acquire near-infrared (NIR) information in addition to the normal visible (RGB) information with only slight modification to the standard digital camera. In this thesis, we study if this ex ...

An Efficient Algorithm for Level Set Method Preserving Distance Function

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Xavier Bresson, Dominique Zosso, Virginia Estellers Casas

The level set method is a popular technique for tracking moving interfaces in several disciplines including computer vision and fluid dynamics. However, despite its high flexibility, the original level set method is limited by two important numerical issue ...

Finding Objects of Interest in Images using Saliency and Superpixels

Radhakrishna Achanta

The ability to automatically find objects of interest in images is useful in the areas of compression, indexing and retrieval, re-targeting, and so on. There are two classes of such algorithms – those that find any object of interest with no prior knowledg ...

Saliency Detection using Maximum Symmetric Surround

Sabine Süsstrunk, Radhakrishna Achanta

Detection of visually salient image regions is useful for applications like object segmentation, adaptive compression, and object recognition. Recently, full-resolution salient maps that retain well-defined boundaries have attracted attention. In these map ...

Learning Pose Invariant and Covariant Classifiers from Image Sequences

Mustafa Özuysal

Object tracking and detection over a wide range of viewpoints is a long-standing problem in Computer Vision. Despite significant advance in wide-baseline sparse interest point matching and development of robust dense feature models, it remains a largely op ...
