Detecting text located on the torsos of marathon runners and sports players in video is a challenging issue due to poor quality and adverse effects caused by flexible/colorful clothing, and different structures of human bodies or actions. This paper presents a new unified method for tackling the above challenges. The proposed method fuses gradient magnitude and direction coherence of text pixels in a new way for detecting candidate regions. Candidate regions are used for determining the number of temporal frame clusters obtained by K-means clustering on frame differences. This process in turn detects key frames. The proposed method explores Bayesian probability for skin portions using color values at both pixel and component levels of temporal frames, which provides fused images with skin components. Based on skin information, the proposed method then detects faces and torsos by finding structural and spatial coherences between them. We further propose adaptive pixels linking a deep learning model for text detection from torso regions. The proposed method is tested on our own dataset collected from marathon/sports video and three standard datasets, namely, RBNR, MMM and R-ID of marathon images, to evaluate the performance. In addition, the proposed method is also tested on the standard natural scene datasets, namely, CTW1500 and MS-COCO text datasets, to show the objectiveness of the proposed method. A comparative study with the state-of-the-art methods on bib number/text detection of different datasets shows that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods.

In the image fusion field, the design of deep learning-based fusion methods is far from routine. It is invariably fusion-task specific and requires a careful consideration. The most difficult part of the design is to choose an appropriate strategy to generate the fused image for a specific task in hand. Thus, devising learnable fusion strategy is a very challenging problem in the community of image fusion. To address this problem, a novel end-to-end fusion network architecture (RFN-Nest) is developed for infrared and visible image fusion. We propose a residual fusion network (RFN) which is based on a residual architecture to replace the traditional fusion approach. A novel detail-preserving loss function, and a feature enhancing loss function are proposed to train RFN. The fusion model learning is accomplished by a novel two-stage training strategy. In the first stage, we train an auto-encoder based on an innovative nest connection (Nest) concept. Next, the RFN is trained using the proposed loss functions. The experimental results on public domain data sets show that, compared with the existing methods, our end-to-end fusion network delivers a better performance than the state-of-the-art methods in both subjective and objective evaluation.

A new wrist vein biometric system

IEEE Workshop on Computational Intelligence in Biometrics and Identity Management (CIBIM)

In this piece of work a wrist vein pattern recognition and verification system is proposed. Here the wrist vein images from the PUT database were used, which were acquired in visible spectrum. The vein image only highlights the vein pattern area so, segmentation was not required. Since the wrist's veins are not prominent, image enhancement was performed. An Adaptive Histogram Equalization and Discrete Meyer Wavelet were used to enhance the vessel patterns. For feature extraction, the vein pattern is characterized with Dense Local Binary pattern (D-LBP). D-LBP patch descriptors of each training image are used to form a bag of features, which was used to produce the training model. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) were used for classification. An encouraging Equal Error Rate (EER) of 0.79% was achieved in our experiments.

We propose a method for Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa hispida saimensis) re-identification. Access to large image volumes through camera trapping and crowdsourcing provides novel possibilities for animal monitoring and conservation and calls for automatic methods for analysis, in particular, when re-identifying individual animals from the images. The proposed method NOvel Ringed seal re-identification by Pelage pattern Aggregation (NORPPA) utilizes the permanent and unique pelage pattern of Saimaa ringed seals and content-based image retrieval techniques. First, the query image is preprocessed, and each seal instance is segmented. Next, the seal's pelage pattern is extracted using a U-net encoder-decoder based method. Then, CNN-based affine invariant features are embedded and aggregated into Fisher Vectors. Finally, the cosine distance between the Fisher Vectors is used to find the best match from a database of known individuals. We perform extensive experiments of various modifications of the method on a new challenging Saimaa ringed seals re-identification dataset. The proposed method is shown to produce the best re-identification accuracy on our dataset in comparisons with alternative approaches. © 2022, CC BY-NC-ND.

Large deep networks have demonstrated competitive performance in single image super-resolution (SISR), with a huge volume of data involved. However, in real-world scenarios, due to the limited accessible training pairs, large models exhibit undesirable behaviors such as overfitting and memorization. To suppress model overfitting and further enjoy the merits of large model capacity, we thoroughly investigate generic approaches for supplying additional training data pairs. In particular, we introduce a simple learning principle MixUp [43] to train networks on interpolations of sample pairs, which encourages networks to support linear behavior in-between training samples. In addition, we propose a data synthesis method with learned degradation, enabling models to use extra high-quality images with higher content diversity. This strategy proves to be successful in reducing biases of data. By combining these components - MixUp and synthetic training data, large models can be trained without overfitting under very limited data samples and achieve satisfactory generalization performance. Our method won the second place in NTIRE2019 Real SR Challenge. Copyright © 2019, The Authors. All rights reserved.

This work proposes a projective pairwise dictionary learning-based approach for fast and efficient multimodal eye biometrics. The work uses a faster Projective pairwise Discriminative Dictionary Learning (DL) in contrast to the traditional DL which uses synthesis DL. Projective Pairwise Discriminative Dictionary (PPDD) uses a synthesis dictionary and an analysis dictionary jointly to achieve the goal of pattern representation and discrimination. As the PPDD process of DL is in contrast to the use of l 0 or l 1 -norm sparsity constraints on the representation coefficients adopted in most traditional DL, it works faster than other DL. Moreover, the blending of synthesis dictionary and an analysis dictionary also enhance the feature representation of the complex eye patterns. We employed the combination of sclera and iris traits to establish multimodal biometrics. The experimental study and analysis conducted fulfill the hypothesis we considered. In this work we employed a part of the UBIRIS version 1 dataset to conduct the experiments.

In this paper, pelage pattern matching is considered to solve the individual re-identification of the Saimaa ringed seals. Animal re-identification together with the access to large amount of image material through camera traps and crowd-sourcing provide novel possibilities for animal monitoring and conservation. We propose a novel feature pooling approach that allow aggregating the local pattern features to get a fixed size embedding vector that incorporate global features by taking into account the spatial distribution of features. This is obtained by eigen decomposition of covariances computed for probability mass functions representing feature maps. Embedding vectors can then be used to find the best match in the database of known individuals allowing animal re-identification. The results show that the proposed pooling method outperforms the existing methods on the challenging Saimaa ringed seal image data. © 2021, CC BY-NC-ND.

In this paper a sclera recognition and validation system is proposed. Here sclera segmentation was performed by Fuzzy logic-based clustering. Since the selera vessels are not prominent, image enhancement was required. A Fuzzy logic-based Brightness Preserving Dynamic Fuzzy Histogram Equalization and discrete Meyer wavelet was used to enhance the vessel patterns. For feature extraction, the Dense Local Binary pattern (D-LBP) was used. D-LBP patch descriptors of each training image are used to form a bag of features, which is used to produce the training model. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are used for classification. The UBIRIS version 1 dataset is used here for experimentation. An encouraging Equal Error Rate (EER) of 4.31% was achieved in our experiments.

Transformer-based methods have shown impressive performance in low-level vision tasks, such as image super-resolution. However, we find that these networks can only utilize a limited spatial range of input information through attribution analysis. This implies that the potential of Transformer is still not fully exploited in existing networks. In order to activate more input pixels for better reconstruction, we propose a novel Hybrid Attention Transformer (HAT). It combines both channel attention and window-based self-attention schemes, thus making use of their complementary advantages of being able to utilize global statistics and strong local fitting capability. Moreover, to better aggregate the cross-window information, we introduce an overlapping cross-attention module to enhance the interaction between neighboring window features. In the training stage, we additionally adopt a same-task pre-training strategy to exploit the potential of the model for further improvement. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed modules, and we further scale up the model to demonstrate that the performance of this task can be greatly improved. Our overall method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by more than 1dB. Copyright © 2022, The Authors. All rights reserved.
