Applications like disaster management and industrial inspection often require experts to enter contaminated places. To circumvent the need for physical presence, it is desirable to generate a fully immersive individual live teleoperation experience. However, standard video-based approaches suffer from a limited degree of immersion and situation awareness due to the restriction to the camera view, which impacts the navigation. In this paper, we present a novel VR-based practical system for immersive robot teleoperation and scene exploration. While being operated through the scene, a robot captures RGB-D data that is streamed to a SLAM-based live multiclient telepresence system. Here, a global 3D model of the already captured scene parts is reconstructed and streamed to the individual remote user clients where the rendering for e.g. head-mounted display devices (HMDs) is performed. We introduce a novel lightweight robot client component which transmits robot-specific data and enables a quick integration into existing robotic systems. This way, in contrast to first- person exploration systems, the operators can explore and navigate in the remote site completely independent of the current position and view of the capturing robot, complementing traditional input devices for teleoperation. We provide a proof-of-concept implementation and demonstrate the capabilities as well as the performance of our system regarding interactive object measurements and bandwidth-efficient data streaming and visualization. Furthermore, we show its benefits over purely video-based teleoperation in a user study revealing a higher degree of situation awareness and a more precise navigation in challenging environments.
The concept of scattered polynomials is generalized to those of exceptional scattered sequences which are shown to be the natural algebraic counterpart of Fqn-linear MRD codes. The first infinite family in the first n...

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are today the de-facto standard for extracting compact and discriminative face representations (templates) from images in automatic face recognition systems. Due to the characteristics of CNN models, the generated representations typically encode a multitude of information ranging from identity to soft-biometric attributes, such as age, gender or ethnicity. However, since these representations were computed for the purpose of identity recognition only, the soft-biometric information contained in the templates represents a serious privacy risk. To mitigate this problem, we present in this paper a privacy-enhancing approach capable of suppressing potentially sensitive soft-biometric information in face representations without significantly compromising identity information. Specifically, we introduce a Privacy-Enhancing Face-Representation learning Network (PFRNet) that disentangles identity from attribute information in face representations and consequently allows to efficiently suppress soft-biometrics in face templates. We demonstrate the feasibility of PFRNet on the problem of gender suppression and show through rigorous experiments on the CelebA, Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) and Adience datasets that the proposed disentanglement-based approach is highly effective and improves significantly on the existing state-of-the-art.
We propose three novel solvers for estimating the relative pose of a multi-camera system from affine correspondences (ACs). A new constraint is derived interpreting the relationship of ACs and the generalized camera m...

The primary objective of face morphing is to com-bine face images of different data subjects (e.g. an malicious actor and an accomplice) to generate a face image that can be equally verified for both contributing data subjects. In this paper, we propose a new framework for generating face morphs using a newer Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) - StyleGAN. In contrast to earlier works, we generate realistic morphs of both high-quality and high resolution of 1024 × 1024 pixels. With the newly created morphing dataset of 2500 morphed face images, we pose a critical question in this work. (i) Can GAN generated morphs threaten Face Recognition Systems (FRS) equally as Landmark based morphs? Seeking an answer, we benchmark the vulnerability of a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf FRS (COTS) and a deep learning-based FRS (ArcFace). This work also benchmarks the detection approaches for both GAN generated morphs against the landmark based morphs using established Morphing Attack Detection (MAD) schemes.

Several individual feature selection methods have proven to be important preprocessing techniques for dimensionality reduction in microarray gene expression datasets. However, one of the deficiencies of these methods is that their results differ from classifier to classifier and from method to method, even for a single domain. The ensemble classification method is a promising solution that can be used to alleviate this issue by combining the outputs of several classifiers and individual feature selection methods. In this paper, an ensemble of classifiers and feature selection approaches is proposed based on Dempster–Shafer evidence theory and the weighted majority vote (EC-FMDS). First, feature selectin methods from different categories are applied to generate feature subsets. Then, the Dempster–Shafer theory is used to fuse the output of the individual feature selection methods and assign a weight to each classifier. Finally, by fusing all the subsets and weights of classifiers, the weighted majority vote is applied to gain the final prediction and calculate the performance measures. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed EC-FMDS approach, eight feature selection methods and four classifiers are used in the ensemble method. The experimental analysis is conducted using twelve microarray datasets based on accuracy, recall, and precision measures. A comparative study with the results of the individual feature selection methods and the ensemble state-of-the-art proves the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
