The environment of most real-world scenarios such as malls and supermarkets changes at all times. A prebuilt map that does not account for these changes becomes out-of-date easily. Therefore, it is necessary to have an up-todate model of the environment to facilitate long-term operation of a robot. To this end, this paper presents a general lifelong simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) framework. Our framework uses a multiple session map representation, and exploits an efficient map updating strategy that includes map building, pose graph refinement and sparsification. To mitigate the unbounded increase of memory usage, we propose a maptrimming method based on the Chow-Liu maximum-mutualinformation spanning tree. The proposed SLAM framework has been comprehensively validated by over a month of robot deployment in real supermarket environment. Furthermore, we release the dataset collected from the indoor and outdoor changing environment with the hope to accelerate lifelong SLAM research in the community.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted a great deal of research due to their wide-range of potential applications. Sensor deployment and coverage problems are their important issues. This article briefly introduces the principle of swarm intelligence (SI). A novel SI algorithm based on information sharing of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and diversity maintenance mechanism of Artificial Immune System (AIS) is designed and the model of coverage problems is given. Its applications in solving different deterministic and random coverage problems are given. The algorithm used in obtaining maximum coverage probability with given number of sensor nodes and minimum number of sensor nodes with required coverage probability of WSNs deterministic coverage, and determining the selected sensor nodes with coverage probability and connectivity requirement of WSNs random coverage, are analyzed in detail. The simulation results show the algorithm is practical. The applications of SI on K- coverage and connectivity problems in the future are also projected in the article. © 2012 ACADEMY PUBLISHER.

Social navigation datasets are necessary to assess social navigation algorithms and train machine learning algorithms. Most of the currently available datasets target pedestrians’ movements as a pattern to be replicated by robots. It can be argued that one of the main reasons for this to happen is that compiling datasets where real robots are manually controlled, as they would be expected to behave when moving, is a very resource-intensive task. Another aspect that is often missing in datasets is symbolic information that could be relevant, such as human activities, relationships or interactions. Unfortunately, the available datasets targeting robots and supporting symbolic information are restricted to static scenes. This paper argues that simulation can be used to gather social navigation data in an effective and cost-efficient way and presents a toolkit for this purpose. A use case studying the application of graph neural networks to create learned control policies using supervised learning is presented as an example of how it can be used.

Representational transfer from publicly available models is a promising technique for improving medical image classification, especially in long-tailed datasets with rare diseases. However, existing methods often overlook the frequency-dependent behavior of these models, thereby limiting their effectiveness in transferring representations and generalizations to rare diseases. In this paper, we propose FoPro-KD, a novel framework that leverages the power of frequency patterns learned from frozen pretrained models to enhance their transferability and compression, presenting a few unique insights: 1) We demonstrate that leveraging representations from publicly available pre-trained models can substantially improve performance, specifically for rare classes, even when utilizing representations from a smaller pre-trained model. 2) We observe that pre-trained models exhibit frequency preferences, which we explore using our proposed Fourier Prompt Generator (FPG), allowing us to manipulate specific frequencies in the input image, enhancing the discriminative representational transfer. 3) By amplifying or diminishing these frequencies in the input image, we enable Effective Knowledge Distillation (EKD). EKD facilitates the transfer of knowledge from pre-trained models to smaller models. Through extensive experiments in long-tailed gastrointestinal image recognition and skin lesion classification, where rare diseases are prevalent, our FoPro-KD framework outperforms existing methods, enabling more accessible medical models for rare disease classification.

Tactile sensors supply useful information during the interaction with an object that can be used for assessing the stability of a grasp. Most of the previous works on this topic processed tactile readings as signals by calculating handpicked features. Some of them have processed these readings as images calculating characteristics on matrix-like sensors. In this work, we explore how non-matrix sensors (sensors with taxels not arranged exactly in a matrix) can be processed as tactile images as well. In addition, we prove that they can be used for predicting grasp stability by training a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with them. We captured over 2500 real three-fingered grasps on 41 everyday objects to train a CNN that exploited the local connectivity inherent on the non-matrix tactile sensors, achieving 94.2% F1-score on predicting stability.

Human facial action units (AUs) are mutually related in a hierarchical manner, as not only they are associated with each other in both spatial and temporal domains but also AUs located in the same/close facial regions show stronger relationships than those of different facial regions. While none of existing approach thoroughly model such hierarchical inter-dependencies among AUs, this paper proposes to comprehensively model multi-scale AU-related dynamic and hierarchical spatio-temporal relationship among AUs for their occurrences recognition. Specifically, we first propose a novel multi-scale temporal differencing network with an adaptive weighting block to explicitly capture facial dynamics across frames at different spatial scales, which specifically considers the heterogeneity of range and magnitude in different AUs’ activation. Then, a two-stage strategy is introduced to hierarchically model the relationship among AUs based on their spatial distribution (i.e., local and cross-region AU relationship modelling). Experimental results achieved on BP4D and DISFA show that our approach is the new state-of-the-art in the field of AU occurrence recognition.

Optimal feature selection for subspace image matching

International Conference on computer vision Workshops (ICCV Workshops)

Image matching has been a central research topic in computer vision over the last decades. Typical approaches to correspondence involve matching features between images. In this paper, we present a novel problem for establishing correspondences between a sparse set of image features and a previously learned subspace model. We formulate the matching task as an energy minimization, and jointly optimize over all possible feature assignments and parameters of the subspace model. This problem is in general NP-hard. We propose a convex relaxation approximation, and develop two optimization strategies: naive gradient-descent and quadratic programming. Alternatively, we reformulate the optimization criterion as a sparse eigenvalue problem, and solve it using a recently proposed backward greedy algorithm. Experimental results on facial feature detection show that the quadratic programming solution provides better selection mechanism for relevant features.

Self-supervised learning has recently emerged as a strong alternative in document analysis. These approaches are now capable of learning high-quality image representations and overcoming the limitations of supervised methods, which require a large amount of labeled data. However, these methods are unable to capture new knowledge in an incremental fashion, i.e. when data is presented to the model sequentially, which is closer to the realistic scenario. In this paper, we explore the potential of continual self-supervised learning to alleviate the catastrophic forgetting problem in handwritten text recognition, as an example of sequence recognition. Our method consists in adding intermediate layers called adapters for each task, and efficiently distilling knowledge from the previous model while learning the current task. Our proposed framework is efficient in both computation and memory complexity. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we evaluate our method by transferring the learned model to diverse text recognition downstream tasks, including Latin and non-Latin scripts. As far as we know, this is the first application of continual self-supervised learning for handwritten text recognition. We attain state-of-the-art performance in English, Italian, and Russian, whilst adding only a few parameters per task. The code and trained models will be publicly available1 © 2023, CC BY.
