Detecting Anomalies and Obstacles in Road Scenes

Krzysztof Maciej Lis

We address the problem of segmenting anomalies and unusual obstacles in road scenes for the purpose of self-driving safety. The objects in question are not present in the common training sets as it is not feasible to collect and annotate examples for every ...

Cross-resolution Face Recognition via Identity-Preserving Network and Knowledge Distillation

Touradj Ebrahimi, Yuhang Lu

Cross-resolution face recognition has become a challenging problem for modern deep face recognition systems. It aims at matching a low-resolution probe image with high-resolution gallery images registered in a database. Existing methods mainly leverage pri ...

JPEG AIC-3 Dataset: Towards Defining the High Quality to Nearly Visually Lossless Quality Range

Touradj Ebrahimi, Michela Testolina, Davi Nachtigall Lazzarotto

Visual data play a crucial role in modern society, and the rate at which images and videos are acquired, stored, and exchanged every day is rapidly increasing. Image compression is the key technology that enables storing and sharing of visual content in an ...

On the assessment of high-quality images: advances on the JPEG AIC-3 activity

Touradj Ebrahimi, Michela Testolina, Evgeniy Upenik

Recent advances in image compression have made it both possible and desirable for image quality to approach the visually lossless range. However, the most commonly used subjective visual quality assessment protocols, e.g. those reported in ITU-T Rec. BT.50 ...

Gemini: Elastic SNARKs for Diverse Environments

Alessandro Chiesa

We introduce a new class of succinct arguments, that we call elastic. Elastic SNARKs allow the prover to allocate different resources (such as memory and time) depending on the execution environment and the statement to prove. The resulting output is indep ...

Image-based geometric digital twinning for stone masonry elements

Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Savvas Saloustros

We present an image-based pipeline for generating geometrical digital twins (GDTs) of stone masonry elements with detail down to the stone level. For this purpose, we acquire RGB images of the individual stones and of the wall during the construction phase ...

Weakly Supervised Volumetric Image Segmentation with Deformed Templates

Pascal Fua, Pamuditha Udaranga Wickramasinghe, Mian Akbar Shah

There are many approaches to weakly-supervised training of networks to segment 2D images. By contrast, existing approaches to segmenting volumetric images rely on full-supervision of a subset of 2D slices of the 3D volume. We propose an approach to volume ...
