Liveability from Above: Understanding Quality of Life with Overhead Imagery and Deep Neural Networks

Devis Tuia, Alex Hubertus Levering

Urban planners are increasingly interested in understanding what makes a neighbourhood pleasant and liveable. In this paper, we use the overhead perspective as a new way to describe and understand liveability of city neighborhoods. We predict building qual ...

Angular Accuracy of Steerable Feature Detectors

Michaël Unser, Arash Amini, Zsuzsanna Püspöki, John Paul Ward, Julien René Pierre Fageot

The detection of landmarks or patterns is of interest for extracting features in biological images. Hence, algorithms for finding these keypoints have been extensively investigated in the literature, and their localization and detection properties are well ...

Achieving high-resolution thermal imagery in low-contrast lake surface waters by aerial remote sensing and image registration

Ulrich Lemmin, Daniel Sage, David Andrew Barry, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

A two-platform measurement system for realizing airborne thermography of the Lake Surface Water Temperature (LSWT) with ~0.8 m pixel resolution (sub-pixel satellite scale) is presented. It consists of a tethered Balloon Launched Imaging and Monitoring Plat ...

Vision-based detection of aircrafts and UAVs

Artem Rozantsev

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are becoming increasingly popular for a broad variety of tasks ranging from aerial imagery to objects delivery. With the expansion of the areas, where drones can be efficiently used, the collision risk with other flying objects inc ...

Limitations of Proximity Lithography Printing : Simulations, Experiments, and Applications

Krishnaparvathy Puthankovilakam

Photolithography is one of the earliest technologies used to transfer patterns to a substrate. It is also known as optical lithography since it uses light to transfer the pattern. The main exposure techniques exist in the industry are projection printing, ...

Learning Aerial Image Segmentation from Online Maps

Thomas Hofmann, Aurélien Lucchi, Martin Jaggi, Jan Dirk Wegner

This study deals with semantic segmentation of high-resolution (aerial) images where a semantic class label is assigned to each pixel via supervised classification as a basis for automatic map generation. Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) ...

Vision-Based Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Detection and Tracking for Sense and Avoid Systems

Denis Gillet, Alcherio Martinoli, Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Steven Adriaan Roelofsen, Artem Rozantsev, Krishna Raj Sapkota

We propose an approach for on-line detection of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and estimation of their relative positions and velocities in the 3D environment from a single moving camera in the context of sense and avoid systems. This problem is cha ...

Coherence management in lithography printing systems

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Johana Bernasconi

In proximity lithography, interference and diffraction effects arise when printing small features because of the proximity gap. Different techniques are used in order to control and take advantage of theses effects. In this paper, the focus is set on the M ...

Automated Reconstruction of Evolving Curvilinear Tree Structures

Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki

Curvilinear networks are prevalent in nature and span many different scales, ranging from micron-scale neural structures in the brain to petameter-scale dark-matter arbors binding massive galaxy clusters. Reliably reconstructing them in an automated fashio ...

Semi-supervised and unsupervised kernel-based novelty detection with application to remote sensing images

Frank Grégoire Jean de Morsier

The main challenge of new information technologies is to retrieve intelligible information from the large volume of digital data gathered every day. Among the variety of existing data sources, the satellites continuously observing the surface of the Earth ...

A Contextual Analysis of Land-Use and Vegetation Changes in Two Wooded Pastures in the Swiss Jura Mountains

Joël Chételat, Michaël Kalbermatten, Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Kathryn Lannas, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer

This study examines the effects of land-use policies and natural events on the evolution of two wooded pastures in the Jura Mountains in Switzerland between 1934 and 2000. The socioeconomic context and the local conditions were seen as major driving forces ...

A Unifying Parametric Framework for 2D Steerable Wavelet Transforms

Michaël Unser

We introduce a complete parameterization of the family of two-dimensional steerable wavelets that are polar-separable in the Fourier domain under the constraint of self-reversibility. These wavelets are constructed by multiorder generalized Riesz transform ...

Learning to Detect Objects with Minimal Supervision

Karim Ali

Many classes of objects can now be successfully detected with statistical machine learning techniques. Faces, cars and pedestrians, have all been detected with low error rates by learning their appearance in a highly generic manner from extensive training ...

A Real-Time Deformable Detector

David Hasler, Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Karim Ali

We propose a new learning strategy for object detection. The proposed scheme forgoes the need to train a collection of detectors dedicated to homogeneous families of poses, and instead learns a single classifier that has the inherent ability to deform base ...

Time-Varying Segmentation for Mapping of Land Cover Changes

Jean-Philippe Thiran, François Aspert, Meritxell Bach Cuadra

Among all satellite imaging systems, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is useful for monitoring purposes, as they provide data at any time under all weather conditions. Today, three spaceborne SAR systems are operational, while by the end of 2007 three furthe ...
