Abstract:

Categorization is a fundamental problem of many computer vision applications, e.g., image classification, pedestrian detection and face recognition. The robustness of a categorization system heavily relies on the quality of features, by which data are represented. The prior arts of feature extraction can be concluded in different levels, which, in a bottom up order, are low level features (e.g., pixels and gradients) and middle/high-level features (e.g., the BoW model and sparse coding). Low level features can be directly extracted from images or videos, while middle/high-level features are co

Abstract:

In general, large-scale annotated data are essential to training deep neural networks in order to achieve better performance in visual feature learning for various computer vision applications. Unfortunately, the amount of annotations is challenging to obtain, requiring a high cost of money and human resources. The dependence on large-scale annotated data has become a crucial bottleneck in developing an advanced intelligence perception system. Self-supervised visual representation learning, a subset of unsupervised learning, has gained popularity because of its ability to avoid the high cost

Abstract:

The primate visual system is organised and wired in a topological manner. From the eye well into extrastriate visual cortex, a preserved spatial representation of the vi- sual world is maintained across many levels of processing. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), together with probabilistic tractography, is a non-invasive technique for map- ping connectivity within the brain. In this thesis I probed the sensitivity and accuracy of DWI and probabilistic tractography by quantifying its capacity to detect topolog- ical connectivity in the post mortem macaque brain, between the lateral geniculate

Visual recognition (e.g., object, scene and action recognition) is an active area of research in computer vision due to its increasing number of real-world applications such as video (image) indexing and search, intelligent surveillance, human-machine interaction, robot navigation, etc. Effective modeling of the objects, scenes and actions is critical for visual recognition.

This thesis investigates the problem of visual learning using a robotic platform. Given a set of objects the robots task is to autonomously manipulate, observe, and learn. This allows the robot to recognise objects in a novel scene and pose, or separate them into distinct visual categories. The main focus of the work is in autonomously acquiring object models using robotic manipulation. Autonomous learning is important for robotic systems. In the context of vision, it allows a robot to adapt to new and uncertain environments, updating its internal model of the world. It also reduces the amount

Abstract:

Using some form of dynamical model in a visual tracking system is a well-known method for increasing robustness and indeed performance in general. Often, quite simple models are used and can be effective, but prior knowledge of the likely motion of the tracking target can often be exploited by using a specially-tailored model. Specifying such a model by hand, while possible, is a time-consuming and error-prone process. Much more desirable is for an automated system to learn a model from training data. A dynamical model learnt in this manner can also be a source of useful information in its own

This thesis explores whether or not visual speech technology can give an improvement in learning pronunciation.

However, existing systems of Affordance Learning are still limited to detecting and segmenting object affordances, which is cal

Patterns of visual objects, streams of sounds, and spatiotemporal events are just a few examples of the structures present in a variety of sensory inputs. Amid such variety, numerous regularities can be found. In order to handle the sensory processing, individuals of each species have to be able to rapidly track these regularities. Statistical learning is one of the principal mechanisms that enable to track patterns from the flow of sensory information, by detecting coherent relations between elements (e.g., A predicts B).

Many problems in signal processing, machine learning and computer vision can be solved by learning low rank models from data. In computer vision, problems such as rigid structure from motion have been formulated as an optimization over subspaces with fixed rank. These hard-rank constraints have traditionally been imposed by a factorization that parameterizes subspaces as a product of two matrices of fixed rank. Whilst factorization approaches lead to efficient and kernelizable optimization algorithms, they have been shown to be NP-Hard in presence of missing data. Inspired by recent work in co

This thesis is concerned with the problem of visual recognition in art - such as finding the objects (e.g. cars, cows and cathedrals) present in a painting, or identifying the subject of an oil portrait. Solving this problem is extremely beneficial to art historians, who are often interested in determining when an object first appeared in a painting or how the portrayal of an object has evolved over time. It allows them to avoid the unenviable task of finding paintings for study manually. However, visual recognition of art is a challenging problem, in part due to the lack of annotation in art.

Abstract:

Le but de cette thèse est de développer des méthodes pratiques plus performantes pour la détection d'instances de classes d'objets de la vie quotidienne dans les images. Nous présentons une famille de détecteurs qui incorporent trois types d'indices visuelles performantes – histogrammes de gradients orientés (Histograms of Oriented Gradients, HOG), motifs locaux binaires (Local Binary Patterns, LBP) et motifs locaux ternaires (Local Ternary Patterns, LTP) – dans des méthodes de discrimination efficaces de type machine à vecteur de support latent (Latent SVM), sous deux régimes de réduction de

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the problem of incremental localization from visual information, a scenario commonly known as visual odometry. Current visual odometry algorithms are heavily dependent on camera calibration, using a pre-established geometric model to provide the transformation between input (optical flow estimates) and output (vehicle motion estimates) information. A novel approach to visual odometry is proposed in this thesis where the need for camera calibration, or even for a geometric model, is circumvented by the use of machine learning principles and techniques. A non-parametric Bay

Abstract:

Learning discriminative feature representations has attracted a great deal of attention due to its potential value and wide usage in a variety of areas, such as image/video recognition and retrieval, human activities analysis, intelligent surveillance and human-computer interaction. In this thesis we first introduce a new boosted key-frame selection scheme for action recognition. Specifically, we propose to select a subset of key poses for the representation of each action via AdaBoost and a new classifier, namely WLNBNN, is then developed for final classification. The experimental results of
