Humans are Poor Few-Shot Classifiers for Sentinel-2 Land Cover

Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm

Learning to predict accurately from a few data samples is a central challenge in modern data-hungry machine learning. On natural images, human vision typically outperforms deep learning approaches on few-shot learning. However, we hypothesize that aerial a ...

Homogeneous light stimulation of melanopsin and cones with a Maxwellian view device for the human eye

Patrick Robert Flückiger, Gilles Evéquoz

We designed and tested a device to stimulate specifically one photoreceptor type, or a combination of some of them, of the human eye by using up to six primaries. The device produces a homogeneous light field over 40 degrees which is projected onto the ret ...

A Differential Approach for Gaze Estimation

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu

Most non-invasive gaze estimation methods regress gaze directions directly from a single face or eye image. However, due to important variabilities in eye shapes and inner eye structures amongst individuals, universal models obtain limited accuracies and t ...

3-Dimensional magnetic resonance imaging of the freely moving human eye

Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Silvio Ionta, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Jérôme Yerly, Lorenzo Di Sopra

Eye motion is a major confound for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in neuroscience or ophthalmology. Currently, solutions toward eye stabilisation include participants fixating or administration of paralytics/anaesthetics. We developed a novel MRI protoco ...
