Face Detection

A recent paper posed the question: "Graph Matching: What are we really talking about?". Far from providing a definite answer to that question, in this paper we will try to characterize the role that graphs play within the Pattern Recognition field. To this aim two taxonomies are presented and discussed. The first includes almost all the graph matching algorithms proposed from the late seventies, and describes the different classes of algorithms. The second taxonomy considers the types of common applications of graph-based techniques in the Pattern Recognition and Machine Vision field.

Thirty years of graph matching in pattern recognition

Computer and Robot Vision

Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a special type of Neural Networks, which has shown exemplary performance on several competitions related to Computer Vision and Image Processing. Some of the exciting application areas of CNN include Image Classification and Segmentation, Object Detection, Video Processing, Natural Language Processing, and Speech Recognition. The powerful learning ability of deep CNN is primarily due to the use of multiple feature extraction stages that can automatically learn representations from the data. The availability of a large amount of data and improvement in the hardware technology has accelerated the research in CNNs, and recently interesting deep CNN architectures have been reported. Several inspiring ideas to bring advancements in CNNs have been explored, such as the use of different activation and loss functions, parameter optimization, regularization, and architectural innovations. However, the significant improvement in the representational capacity of the deep CNN is achieved through architectural innovations. Notably, the ideas of exploiting spatial and channel information, depth and width of architecture, and multi-path information processing have gained substantial attention. Similarly, the idea of using a block of layers as a structural unit is also gaining popularity. This survey thus focuses on the intrinsic taxonomy present in the recently reported deep CNN architectures and, consequently, classifies the recent innovations in CNN architectures into seven different categories. These seven categories are based on spatial exploitation, depth, multi-path, width, feature-map exploitation, channel boosting, and attention. Additionally, the elementary understanding of CNN components, current challenges, and applications of CNN are also provided.

A survey of the recent architectures of deep convolutional neural networks

Error-correcting graph isomorphism has been found useful in numerous pattern recognition applications. This paper presents a genetic-based search approach that adopts genetic algorithms as the searching criteria to solve the problem of error-correcting graph isomorphism. By applying genetic algorithms, some local search strategies are amalgamated to improve convergence speed. Besides, a selection operator is proposed to prevent premature convergence. The proposed approach has been implemented to verify its validity. Experimental results reveal the superiority of this new technique than several other well-known algorithms.

In this paper, two detectors, one for face and the other for license plates, are proposed, both based on a modified convolutional neural network(CNN) verifier. In our proposed verifier, a single feature map and a fully connected MLP were trained by examples to classify the possible candidates. Pyramid-based localization techniques were applied to fuse the candidates and to identify the regions of faces or license plates. In addition, geometrical rules filtered out false alarms in license plate detection. Some experimental results are given to show the effectiveness of the approach. Keywords: Face detection, license plate detection, convolution neural network, feature map.

The Application of a Convolution Neural Network on Face and License Plate Detection

In this paper, we propose the use of motion vectors embedded in MPEG bitstreams to generate so-called ldquomotion flowsrdquo, which are applied to perform video retrieval. By using the motion vectors directly, we do not need to consider the shape of a moving object and its corresponding trajectory. Instead, we simply ldquolinkrdquo the local motion vectors across consecutive video frames to form motion flows, which are then recorded and stored in a video database. In the video retrieval phase, we propose a new matching strategy to execute the video retrieval task. Motions that do not belong to the mainstream motion flows are filtered out by our proposed algorithm. The retrieval process can be triggered by query-by-sketch or query-by-example. The experiment results show that our method is indeed superb in the video retrieval process.
