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

Human action recognition by learning bases of action attributes and parts
TL;DR: This work proposes to use attributes and parts for recognizing human actions in still images by learning a set of sparse bases that are shown to carry much semantic meaning, and shows that this dual sparsity provides theoretical guarantee of the bases learning and feature reconstruction approach.

SinGAN: Learning a Generative Model From a Single Natural Image
TL;DR: SinGAN, an unconditional generative model that can be learned from a single natural image, is introduced, trained to capture the internal distribution of patches within the image, and is then able to generate high quality, diverse samples that carry the same visual content as the image.

From image-level to pixel-level labeling with Convolutional Networks
TL;DR: A Convolutional Neural Network-based model is proposed, which is constrained during training to put more weight on pixels which are important for classifying the image, and which beats the state of the art results in weakly supervised object segmentation task by a large margin.

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.

Scalable Recognition with a Vocabulary Tree
David Nister,Henrik Stewenius +1 more
TL;DR: A recognition scheme that scales efficiently to a large number of objects and allows a larger and more discriminatory vocabulary to be used efficiently is presented, which it is shown experimentally leads to a dramatic improvement in retrieval quality.
