→Talk Abstracts Fall 2014
Abstract: The talk will briefly touch upon the Multi-scale CNN of Lecun and Farabet to extract pixel-wise features for semantic segmentation and then I will move on to discuss the work we did to enhance the model further in order to result in a real-time and accurate pixel-wise labeling pipeline. I will talk about a deep feed-forward neural network architecture for pixel-wise semantic scene labeling. It uses a novel recursive neural network architecture for context propagation, referred to as rCPN. It first maps the local features into a semantic space followed by a bottom-up aggregation of local information into a global feature of the entire image. Then a top-down propagation of the aggregated information takes place that enhances the contextual information of each local features. Therefore, the information from every location in the image is propagated to every other location. Experimental results on Stanford background and SIFT Flow datasets show that the proposed method outperforms previous approaches in terms of accuracy. It is also orders of magnitude faster than previous methods and takes only 0.07 seconds on a GPU for pixel-wise labeling of a 256 by 256 image starting from raw RGB pixel values, given the super-pixel mask that takes an additional 0.3 seconds using an off-the-shelf implementation.

Abstract:
Abstract: Image based geolocation aims to answer the question: where was this ground photograph taken? We present an approach to geoloca- lating a single image based on matching human delineated line segments in the ground image to automatically detected line segments in ortho images. Our approach is based on distance transform matching. By ob- serving that the uncertainty of line segments is non-linearly amplified by projective transformations, we develop an uncertainty based repre- sentation and incorporate it into a geometric matching framework. We show that our approach is able to rule out a considerable portion of false candidate regions even in a database composed of geographic areas with similar visual appearances.
