准确且强大的视觉对象跟踪是最具挑战性和最基本的计算机视觉问题之一。它需要在图像序列中估计目标的轨迹，仅给出其初始位置和分段，或者在边界框的形式中粗略近似。判别相关滤波器（DCF）和深度暹罗网络（SNS）被出现为主导跟踪范式，这导致了重大进展。在过去十年的视觉对象跟踪快速演变之后，该调查介绍了90多个DCFS和暹罗跟踪器的系统和彻底审查，基于九个跟踪基准。首先，我们介绍了DCF和暹罗跟踪核心配方的背景理论。然后，我们在这些跟踪范式中区分和全面地审查共享以及具体的开放研究挑战。此外，我们彻底分析了DCF和暹罗跟踪器对九个基准的性能，涵盖了视觉跟踪的不同实验方面：数据集，评估度量，性能和速度比较。通过提出根据我们的分析提出尊重开放挑战的建议和建议来完成调查。

Convolutional Neural Networks define an exceptionally powerful class of models, but are still limited by the lack of ability to be spatially invariant to the input data in a computationally and parameter efficient manner. In this work we introduce a new learnable module, the Spatial Transformer, which explicitly allows the spatial manipulation of data within the network. This differentiable module can be inserted into existing convolutional architectures, giving neural networks the ability to actively spatially transform feature maps, conditional on the feature map itself, without any extra training supervision or modification to the optimisation process. We show that the use of spatial transformers results in models which learn invariance to translation, scale, rotation and more generic warping, resulting in state-of-the-art performance on several benchmarks, and for a number of classes of transformations.

Single-frame InfraRed Small Target (SIRST) detection has been a challenging task due to a lack of inherent characteristics, imprecise bounding box regression, a scarcity of real-world datasets, and sensitive localization evaluation. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive solution to these challenges. First, we find that the existing anchor-free label assignment method is prone to mislabeling small targets as background, leading to their omission by detectors. To overcome this issue, we propose an all-scale pseudo-box-based label assignment scheme that relaxes the constraints on scale and decouples the spatial assignment from the size of the ground-truth target. Second, motivated by the structured prior of feature pyramids, we introduce the one-stage cascade refinement network (OSCAR), which uses the high-level head as soft proposals for the low-level refinement head. This allows OSCAR to process the same target in a cascade coarse-to-fine manner. Finally, we present a new research benchmark for infrared small target detection, consisting of the SIRST-V2 dataset of real-world, high-resolution single-frame targets, the normalized contrast evaluation metric, and the DeepInfrared toolkit for detection. We conduct extensive ablation studies to evaluate the components of OSCAR and compare its performance to state-of-the-art model-driven and data-driven methods on the SIRST-V2 benchmark. Our results demonstrate that a top-down cascade refinement framework can improve the accuracy of infrared small target detection without sacrificing efficiency. The DeepInfrared toolkit, dataset, and trained models are available at https://github.com/YimianDai/open-deepinfrared to advance further research in this field.

Multilayer Neural Networks trained with the backpropagation algorithm constitute the best example of a successful Gradient-Based Learning technique. Given an appropriate network architecture, Gradient-Based Learning algorithms can be used to synthesize a complex decision surface that can classify high-dimensional patterns such as handwritten characters, with minimal preprocessing. This paper reviews various methods applied to handwritten character recognition and compares them on a standard handwritten digit recognition task. Convolutional Neural Networks, that are specifically designed to deal with the variability of 2D shapes, are shown to outperform all other techniques.Real-life document recognition systems are composed of multiple modules including eld extraction, segmentation, recognition, and language modeling. A new learning paradigm, called Graph Transformer Networks (GTN), allows such multi-module systems to be trained globally using Gradient-Based methods so as to minimize an overall performance measure.Two systems for on-line handwriting recognition are described. Experiments demonstrate the advantage of global training, and the exibility of Graph Transformer Networks.A Graph Transformer Network for reading bank check is also described. It uses Convolutional Neural Network character recognizers combined with global training techniques to provides record accuracy on business and personal checks. It is deployed commercially and reads several million checks per day.

Object detection performance, as measured on the canonical PASCAL VOC dataset, has plateaued in the last few years. The best-performing methods are complex ensemble systems that typically combine multiple low-level image features with high-level context. In this paper, we propose a simple and scalable detection algorithm that improves mean average precision (mAP) by more than 30% relative to the previous best result on VOC 2012-achieving a mAP of 53.3%. Our approach combines two key insights:(1) one can apply high-capacity convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to bottom-up region proposals in order to localize and segment objects and (2) when labeled training data is scarce, supervised pre-training for an auxiliary task, followed by domain-specific fine-tuning, yields a significant performance boost. Since we combine region proposals with CNNs, we call our method R-CNN: Regions with CNN features. We also compare R-CNN to OverFeat, a recently proposed sliding-window detector based on a similar CNN architecture. We find that R-CNN outperforms OverFeat by a large margin on the 200-class ILSVRC2013 detection dataset. Source code for the complete system is available at http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/ ˜rbg/rcnn.

State-of-the-art object detection networks depend on region proposal algorithms to hypothesize object locations. Advances like SPPnet [1] and Fast R-CNN [2] have reduced the running time of these detection networks, exposing region proposal computation as a bottleneck. In this work, we introduce a Region Proposal Network (RPN) that shares full-image convolutional features with the detection network, thus enabling nearly cost-free region proposals. An RPN is a fully convolutional network that simultaneously predicts object bounds and objectness scores at each position. The RPN is trained end-to-end to generate high-quality region proposals, which are used by Fast R-CNN for detection. We further merge RPN and Fast R-CNN into a single network by sharing their convolutional features-using the recently popular terminology of neural networks with "attention" mechanisms, the RPN component tells the unified network where to look. For the very deep VGG-16 model [3], our detection system has a frame rate of 5fps (including all steps) on a GPU, while achieving state-of-the-art object detection accuracy on PASCAL VOC 2007, 2012, and MS COCO datasets with only 300 proposals per image. In ILSVRC and COCO 2015 competitions, Faster R-CNN and RPN are the foundations of the 1st-place winning entries in several tracks. Code has been made publicly available.

Due to object detection's close relationship with video analysis and image understanding, it has attracted much research attention in recent years. Traditional object detection methods are built on handcrafted features and shallow trainable architectures. Their performance easily stagnates by constructing complex ensembles which combine multiple low-level image features with high-level context from object detectors and scene classifiers. With the rapid development in deep learning, more powerful tools, which are able to learn semantic, high-level, deeper features, are introduced to address the problems existing in traditional architectures. These models behave differently in network architecture, training strategy and optimization function, etc. In this paper, we provide a review on deep learning based object detection frameworks. Our review begins with a brief introduction on the history of deep learning and its representative tool, namely Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Then we focus on typical generic object detection architectures along with some modifications and useful tricks to improve detection performance further. As distinct specific detection tasks exhibit different characteristics, we also briefly survey several specific tasks, including salient object detection, face detection and pedestrian detection. Experimental analyses are also provided to compare various methods and draw some meaningful conclusions. Finally, several promising directions and tasks are provided to serve as guidelines for future work in both object detection and relevant neural network based learning systems.

居住在美国的每个妇女在8次发育侵袭性乳腺癌的可能性下有大约1。有丝分裂细胞计数是评估乳腺癌侵袭性或等级最常见的测试之一。在该预后，必须通过病理学家使用高分辨率显微镜检查组织病理学图像以计算细胞。不幸的是，可以是一种完整的任务，可重复性差，特别是对于非专家来说。最近深入学习网络适用于能够自动定位这些感兴趣区域的医学应用。然而，这些基于区域的网络缺乏利用通常用作唯一检测方法的完整图像CNN产生的分割特征的能力。因此，所提出的方法利用更快的RCNN进行对象检测，同时使用RGB图像特征的UNET产生的分割特征，以实现在Mitos-Atypia 2014分数上的F分数为0.508，计数数据集，优于最先进的攻击方法。

Translating or rotating an input image should not affect the results of many computer vision tasks. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are already translation equivariant: input image translations produce proportionate feature map translations. This is not the case for rotations. Global rotation equivariance is typically sought through data augmentation, but patch-wise equivariance is more difficult. We present Harmonic Networks or H-Nets, a CNN exhibiting equivariance to patch-wise translation and 360-rotation. We achieve this by replacing regular CNN filters with circular harmonics, returning a maximal response and orientation for every receptive field patch.H-Nets use a rich, parameter-efficient and fixed computational complexity representation, and we show that deep feature maps within the network encode complicated rotational invariants. We demonstrate that our layers are general enough to be used in conjunction with the latest architectures and techniques, such as deep supervision and batch normalization. We also achieve state-of-the-art classification on rotated-MNIST, and competitive results on other benchmark challenges.

自动检测武器对于改善个人的安全性和福祉是重要的，仍然是由于各种尺寸，武器形状和外观，这是一项艰巨的任务。查看点变化和遮挡也是使这项任务更加困难的原因。此外，目前的物体检测算法处理矩形区域，但是一个细长和长的步枪可以真正地覆盖区域的一部分区域，其余部分可能包含未经紧的细节。为了克服这些问题，我们提出了一种用于定向意识武器检测的CNN架构，其提供具有改进的武器检测性能的面向边界框。所提出的模型不仅通过将角度作为分类问题的角度分成8个类而且提供方向，而是作为回归问题。对于培训我们的武器检测模型，包括总6400件武器图像的新数据集从网上收集，然后用面向定向的边界框手动注释。我们的数据集不仅提供导向的边界框作为地面真相，还提供了水平边界框。我们还以多种现代对象探测器提供我们的数据集，用于在该领域进一步研究。所提出的模型在该数据集上进行评估，并且与搁板对象检测器的比较分析产生了卓越的拟议模型的性能，以标准评估策略测量。数据集和模型实现在此链接上公开可用：https://bit.ly/2tyzicf。

Existing neural network verifiers compute a proof that each input is handled correctly under a given perturbation by propagating a symbolic abstraction of reachable values at each layer. This process is repeated from scratch independently for each input (e.g., image) and perturbation (e.g., rotation), leading to an expensive overall proof effort when handling an entire dataset. In this work, we introduce a new method for reducing this verification cost without losing precision based on a key insight that abstractions obtained at intermediate layers for different inputs and perturbations can overlap or contain each other. Leveraging our insight, we introduce the general concept of shared certificates, enabling proof effort reuse across multiple inputs to reduce overall verification costs. We perform an extensive experimental evaluation to demonstrate the effectiveness of shared certificates in reducing the verification cost on a range of datasets and attack specifications on image classifiers including the popular patch and geometric perturbations. We release our implementation at https://github.com/eth-sri/proof-sharing.

Planar对象跟踪在AI应用中起重要作用，例如机器人，视觉伺服和视觉SLAM。虽然前面的平面跟踪器在大多数情况下工作都很好，但由于两个连续帧之间的运动快，转换大，仍然是一个具有挑战性的任务。当同位参数空间的搜索范围变大时，这种问题背后面的基本原因是这种非线性系统的条件数不稳定地改变。为此，我们提出了一种新颖的单独分解网络〜（HDN）方法，通过将同性转换分解为两组，通过分解单独转换来稳定地减小和稳定条件号。具体地，设计相似性转换估计器被深度卷积设备网络预先预测第一组。通过利用高置信度的尺度和旋转估计，通过简单的回归模型估计残余转换。此外，所提出的端到端网络以半监督方式培训。广泛的实验表明，我们所提出的方法在挑战池，UCSB和诗歌数据集的大幅度上表现出最先进的平面跟踪方法。

培训和测试监督对象检测模型需要大量带有地面真相标签的图像。标签定义图像中的对象类及其位置，形状以及可能的其他信息，例如姿势。即使存在人力，标签过程也非常耗时。我们引入了一个新的标签工具，用于2D图像以及3D三角网格：3D标记工具（3DLT）。这是一个独立的，功能丰富和跨平台软件，不需要安装，并且可以在Windows，MacOS和基于Linux的发行版上运行。我们不再像当前工具那样在每个图像上分别标记相同的对象，而是使用深度信息从上述图像重建三角形网格，并仅在上述网格上标记一次对象。我们使用注册来简化3D标记，离群值检测来改进2D边界框的计算和表面重建，以将标记可能性扩展到大点云。我们的工具经过最先进的方法测试，并且在保持准确性和易用性的同时，它极大地超过了它们。

Estimating 6D poses of objects from images is an important problem in various applications such as robot manipulation and virtual reality. While direct regression of images to object poses has limited accuracy, matching rendered images of an object against the input image can produce accurate results. In this work, we propose a novel deep neural network for 6D pose matching named DeepIM. Given an initial pose estimation, our network is able to iteratively refine the pose by matching the rendered image against the observed image. The network is trained to predict a relative pose transformation using a disentangled representation of 3D location and 3D orientation and an iterative training process. Experiments on two commonly used benchmarks for 6D pose estimation demonstrate that DeepIM achieves large improvements over stateof-the-art methods. We furthermore show that DeepIM is able to match previously unseen objects.
