TLDR
A new database called “ImageNet” is introduced, a large-scale ontology of images built upon the backbone of the WordNet structure, much larger in scale and diversity and much more accurate than the current image datasets.Abstract:
The explosion of image data on the Internet has the potential to foster more sophisticated and robust models and algorithms to index, retrieve, organize and interact with images and multimedia data. But exactly how such data can be harnessed and organized remains a critical problem. We introduce here a new database called “ImageNet”, a large-scale ontology of images built upon the backbone of the WordNet structure. ImageNet aims to populate the majority of the 80,000 synsets of WordNet with an average of 500-1000 clean and full resolution images. This will result in tens of millions of annotated images organized by the semantic hierarchy of WordNet. This paper offers a detailed analysis of ImageNet in its current state: 12 subtrees with 5247 synsets and 3.2 million images in total. We show that ImageNet is much larger in scale and diversity and much more accurate than the current image datasets. Constructing such a large-scale database is a challenging task. We describe the data collection scheme with Amazon Mechanical Turk. Lastly, we illustrate the usefulness of ImageNet through three simple applications in object recognition, image classification and automatic object clustering. We hope that the scale, accuracy, diversity and hierarchical structure of ImageNet can offer unparalleled opportunities to researchers in the computer vision community and beyond.read more

Generalizing A Person Retrieval Model Hetero- and Homogeneously
TL;DR: A Hetero-Homogeneous Learning (HHL) method is introduced that enforces two properties simultaneously: camera invariance, learned via positive pairs formed by unlabeled target images and their camera style transferred counterparts and domain connectedness, implemented by homogeneous learning.

On the use of deep learning for computational imaging
TL;DR: This paper relates the deep-learning-inspired solutions to the original computational imaging formulation and use the relationship to derive design insights, principles, and caveats of more general applicability, and explores how the machine learning process is aided by the physics of imaging when ill posedness and uncertainties become particularly severe.

Human Action Recognition Using Factorized Spatio-Temporal Convolutional Networks
TL;DR: In this article, a factorized spatio-temporal convolutional networks (FstCN) is proposed to factorize the original 3D convolution kernel learning as a sequential process of learning 2D spatial kernels in the lower layers, followed by learning 1D temporal kernel in the upper layers.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints
TL;DR: This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images that can be used to perform reliable matching between different views of an object or scene and can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

Labeled Faces in the Wild: A Database forStudying Face Recognition in Unconstrained Environments
TL;DR: The database contains labeled face photographs spanning the range of conditions typically encountered in everyday life, and exhibits “natural” variability in factors such as pose, lighting, race, accessories, occlusions, and background.
Principles of categorization
TL;DR: On those remote pages it is written that animals are divided into those that belong to the Emperor, and those that are trained, suckling pigs and stray dogs.
