The generalization of Euclidean network paradigm to the Riemannian manifolds has attracted much attention for offering useful geometric representations in processing manifold-valued data in recent years. However, the information degradation during data compression mapping hinders Riemannian networks from going deeper, and there are very few solutions specifically designed for this problem. Given the remarkable success of deep Residual learning in Euclidean networks, a novel Riemannian residual learning mechanism (RRLM) is proposed in the context of Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) manifolds, enabling the characterization of deep spatiotemporal features while preserving the manifold properties. Based on RRLM, a stack of SPD manifold-constrained residual-like blocks is designed on the tail of the original SPDNet(backbone) for the sake of conducting deep Riemannian residual learning. For simplicity, we refer to the network architecture introduced above as Riemannian residual SPD network (ResSPDNet). The experimental results achieved on three types of visual classification tasks, i.e., facial emotion recognition, drone recognition, and action recognition, demonstrate that our method can achieve improved accuracy with a deepened network structure.

Face recognition remains a hot topic in computer vision, and it is challenging to tackle the problem that both the training and testing images are corrupted. In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised method based on the theory of the low-rank matrix recovery for face recognition, which can simultaneously learn discriminative low-rank and sparse representations for both training and testing images. To this end, a correlation penalty term is introduced into the formulation of our proposed method to learn an incoherent dictionary. Experimental results on several face image databases demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, i.e., the proposed method is robust to the illumination, expression and pose variations, as well as images with noises such as block occlusion or uniform noises.

The task of Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (CZSL) is to recognize images of novel state-object compositions that are absent during the training stage. Previous methods of learning compositional embedding have shown effectiveness in closed-world CZSL. However, in Open-World CZSL (OW-CZSL), their performance tends to degrade significantly due to the large cardinality of possible compositions. Some recent works separately predict simple primitives (i.e., states and objects) to reduce cardinality. However, they consider simple primitives as independent probability distributions, ignoring the heavy dependence between states, objects, and compositions. In this paper, we model the dependence of compositions via feasibility and contextuality. Feasibility-dependence refers to the unequal feasibility relations between simple primitives, e.g., hairy is more feasible with cat than with building in the real world. Contextuality-dependence represents the contextual variance in images, e.g., cat shows diverse appearances under the state of dry and wet. We design Semantic Attention (SA) and generative Knowledge Disentanglement (KD) to learn the dependence of feasibility and contextuality, respectively. SA captures semantics in compositions to alleviate impossible predictions, driven by the visual similarity between simple primitives. KD disentangles images into unbiased feature representations, easing contextual bias in predictions. Moreover, we complement the current compositional probability model with feasibility and contextuality in a compatible format. Finally, we conduct comprehensive experiments to analyze and validate the superior or competitive performance of our model, Semantic Attention and knowledge Disentanglement guided Simple Primitives (SAD-SP), on three widely-used benchmark OW-CZSL datasets.

3D face reconstruction is an important task in the field of computer vision. Although 3D face reconstruction has being developing rapidly in recent years, it is still a challenge for face reconstruction under large pose. That is because much of the information about a face in a large pose will be unknowable. In order to address this issue, this paper proposes a novel 3D face reconstruction algorithm (PIFR) based on 3D Morphable Model (3DMM). After input a single face image, it generates a frontal image by normalizing the image. Then we set weighted sum of the 3D parameters of the two images. Our method solves the problem of face reconstruction of a single image of a traditional method in a large pose, works on arbitrary Pose and Expressions, greatly improves the accuracy of reconstruction. Experiments on the challenging AFW, LFPW and AFLW database show that our algorithm significantly improves the accuracy of 3D face reconstruction even under extreme poses (±90 yaw angles).

The Transformer architecture has witnessed a rapid development in recent years, outperforming the CNN architectures in many computer vision tasks, as exemplified by the Vision Transformers (ViT) for image classification. However, existing visual transformer models aim to extract semantic information for high-level tasks, such as classification and detection. These methods ignore the importance of the spatial resolution of the input image, thus sacrificing the local correlation information of neighboring pixels. In this paper, we propose a Patch Pyramid Transformer(PPT) to effectively address the above issues. Specifically, we first design a Patch Transformer to transform the image into a sequence of patches, where transformer encoding is performed for each patch to extract local representations. In addition, we construct a Pyramid Transformer to effectively extract the non-local information from the entire image. After obtaining a set of multi-scale, multi-dimensional, and multi-angle features of the original image, we design the image reconstruction network to ensure that the features can be reconstructed into the original input. To validate the effectiveness, we apply the proposed Patch Pyramid Transformer to image fusion tasks. The experimental results demonstrate its superior performance, compared to the state-of-the-art fusion approaches, achieving the best results on several evaluation indicators. Thanks to the underlying representational capacity of the PPT network, it can directly be applied to different image fusion tasks without redesigning or retraining the network.

We address the problem of multi-modal object tracking in video and explore various options of fusing the complementary information conveyed by the visible (RGB) and thermal infrared (TIR) modalities including pixel-level, feature-level and decision-level fusion. Specifically, different from the existing methods, paradigm of image fusion task is heeded for fusion at pixel level. Feature-level fusion is fulfilled by attention mechanism with channels excited optionally. Besides, at decision level, a novel fusion strategy is put forward since an effortless averaging configuration has shown the superiority. The effectiveness of the proposed decision-level fusion strategy owes to a number of innovative contributions, including a dynamic weighting of the RGB and TIR contributions and a linear template update operation. A variant of which produced the winning tracker at the Visual Object Tracking Challenge 2020 (VOT-RGBT2020). The concurrent exploration of innovative pixel- and feature-level fusion strategies highlights the advantages of the proposed decision-level fusion method. Extensive experimental results on three challenging datasets, i.e., GTOT, VOT-RGBT2019, and VOT-RGBT2020, demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method, compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.

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. The code of our fusion method is available at https://***/hli1221/imagefusion-rfn-nest. © 2021, CC BY-NC-ND.

Face recognition has been widely studied due to its importance in smart cities applications. However, the case when both training and test images are corrupted is not well solved. To address such a problem, this paper proposes a locality constrained low rank representation and dictionary learning (LCLRRDL) algorithm for robust face recognition. In particular, we present three contributions in the proposed formulation. First, a low-rank representation is introduced to handle the possible contamination of the training as well as test data. Second, a locality constraint is incorporated to acknowledge the intrinsic manifold structure of training data. With the locality constraint term, our scheme induces similar samples to have similar representations. Third, a compact dictionary is learned to handle the problem of corrupted data. The experimental results on two public databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Matlab code of our proposed LCLRRDL can be downloaded from https://***/yinhefeng/LCLRRDL.

Image deblurring is an essential image preprocessing technique, aiming to recover clear and detailed images form blurry ones. However, existing algorithms often fail to effectively integrate multi-scale feature extraction with frequency enhancement, limiting their ability to reconstruct fine textures. Additionally, non-uniform blur in images also restricts the effectiveness of image restoration. To address these issues, we propose a multi-scale frequency enhancement network (MFENet) for blind image deblurring. To capture the multi-scale spatial and channel information of blurred images, we introduce a multi-scale feature extraction module (MS-FE) based on depthwise separable convolutions, which provides rich target features for deblurring. We propose a frequency enhanced blur perception module (FEBP) that employs wavelet transforms to extract high-frequency details and utilizes multi-strip pooling to perceive non-uniform blur, combining multiscale information with frequency enhancement to improve the restoration of image texture details. Experimental results on the GoPro and HIDE datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior deblurring performance in both visual quality and objective evaluation metrics. Furthermore, in downstream object detection tasks, the proposed blind image deblurring algorithm significantly improves detection accuracy, further validating its effectiveness androbustness in the field of image deblurring.
