We propose a learning-based image compression method that achieves any arbitrary input bitrate via user-guided bit allocation to preferred regions. We verify our hypothesis of incorporating user guidance for bitrate control by experimenting with alternatives that do not have any guidance. We conduct extensive evaluation on CelebA-HQ and CityScapes dataset using standard quantitative metrics and human studies showing that our single model for multiple bitrates achieves similar or better performance as compared to previous learned image compression methods that require re-training for each new bitrate.

Recent work such as StyleCLIP aims to harness the power of CLIP embeddings for controlled manipulations. Although these models are capable of manipulating images based on a text prompt, the success of the manipulation often depends on careful selection of the appropriate text for the desired manipulation. This limitation makes it particularly difficult to perform text-based manipulations in domains where the user lacks expertise, such as fashion. To address this problem, we propose a method for automatically determining the most successful and relevant text-based edits using a pre-trained StyleGAN model. Our approach consists of a novel mechanism that uses CLIP to guide beam-search decoding, and a ranking method that identifies the most relevant and successful edits based on a list of keywords. We also demonstrate the capabilities of our framework in several domains, including fashion.

We tackle here a specific, still not widely addressed aspect, of AI robustness, which consists of seeking invariance / insensitivity of model performance to hidden factors of variations in the data. Towards this end, we employ a two step strategy that a) does unsupervised discovery, via generative models, of sensitive factors that cause models to under-perform, and b) intervenes models to make their performance invariant to these sensitive factors' influence. We consider 3 separate interventions for robustness, including: data augmentation, semantic consistency, and adversarial alignment. We evaluate our method using metrics that measure trade offs between invariance (insensitivity) and overall performance (utility) and show the benefits of our method for 3 settings (unsupervised, semi-supervised and generalization).

Event-based vision, as realized by bio-inspired Dynamic vision Sensors (DVS), is gaining more and more popularity due to its advantages of high temporal resolution, wide dynamic range and power efficiency at the same time. Potential applications include surveillance, robotics, and autonomous navigation under uncontrolled environment conditions. In this paper, we deal with event-based vision for 3D reconstruction of dynamic scene content by using two stationary DVS in a stereo configuration. We focus on a cooperative stereo approach and suggest an improvement over a previously published algorithm that reduces the measured mean error by over 50 percent. An available ground truth data set for stereo event data is utilized to analyze the algorithm's sensitivity to parameter variation and for comparison with competing techniques.

Nowadays, there are outstanding strides towards a future with autonomous vehicles on our roads. While the perception of autonomous vehicles performs well under closed-set conditions, they still struggle to handle the unexpected. This survey provides an extensive overview of anomaly detection techniques based on camera, lidar, radar, multimodal and abstract object level data. We provide a systematization including detection approach, corner case level, ability for an online application, and further attributes. We outline the state-of-the-art and point out current research gaps.

Semantic Segmentation of satellite images is one of the most challenging problems in computervision as it requires a model capable of capturing both local and global information at each pixel. Current state of the art methods are based on Fully Convolutional Neural Networks (FCNN) with mostly two main components: an encoder which is a pretrained classification model that gradually reduces the input spatial size and a decoder that transforms the encoder's feature map into a predicted mask with the original size. We change this conventional architecture to a model that makes use of full resolution information. NU-Net is a deep FCNN that is able to capture wide field of view global information around each pixel while maintaining localized full resolution information throughout the model. We evaluate our model on the Land Cover Classification and Road Extraction tracks in the DeepGlobe competition.

This paper describes a CNN where all CNN style 2D convolution operations that lower to matrix matrix multiplication are fully binary. The network is derived from a common building block structure that is consistent with a constructive proof outline showing that binary neural networks are universal function approximators. 71.24% top 1 accuracy on the 2012 ImageNet validation set was achieved with a 2 step training procedure and implementation strategies optimized for binary operands are provided.

We present an end-to-end system for learning outfit recommendations. The core problem we address is how a customer can receive clothing/accessory recommendations based on a current outfit and what type of item the customer wishes to add to the outfit. Using a repository of coherent and stylish outfits, we leverage self-attention to learn a mapping from the current outfit and the customer-requested category to a visual descriptor output. This output is then fed into nearest-neighbor-based visual search, which, during training, is learned via triplet loss and mini-batch retrievals. At inference time, we use a beam search with a desired outfit composition to generate outfits at scale. Moreover, the attention networks provide a diagnostic look into the recommendation process, serving as a fashion-based sanity check.

Previous research on localizing a target region in an image referred to by a natural language expression has occurred within an object-centric paradigm. However, in practice, there may not be any easily named or identifiable objects near a target location. Instead, references may need to rely on basic visual attributes, such as color or geometric clues. An expression like "a red something beside a blue vertical line" could still pinpoint a target location. As such, we begin to explore the open challenge of computational object-agnostic reference by constructing a novel dataset and by devising a new set of algorithms that can identify a target region in an image when given a referring expression containing only basic conceptual features.

Human risky behavior in driving is an important visual recognition problem. In this paper, we propose a multi-view temporal action localization system based on the grayscale video to achieve action recognition in naturalistic driving. Specifically, we adopted SwinTransformer as feature extractor, and a single framework to detect boundary and class at the same time. Also, we improve multiple loss function for explicit constraints of embedded feature distributions. Our proposed framework achieves the overall F1 -score of 0.3154 on A2 dataset.
