Visual patterns represent the discernible regularity in the visual world. They capture the essential nature of visual objects or scenes. Understanding and modeling visual patterns is a fundamental problem in visual recognition that has wide ranging applications. In this paper, we study the problem of visual pattern mining and propose a novel deep neural network architecture called PatternNet for discovering these patterns that are both discriminative and representative. The proposed PatternNet leverages the filters in the last convolution layer of a convolutional neural network to find locally consistent visual patches, and by combining these filters we can effectively discover unique visual patterns. In addition, PatternNet can discover visual patterns efficiently without performing expensive image patch sampling, and this advantage provides an order of magnitude speedup compared to most other approaches. We evaluate the proposed PatternNet subjectively by showing randomly selected visual patterns which are discovered by our method and quantitatively by performing image classification with the identified visual patterns and comparing our performance with the current state-of-the-art. We also directly evaluate the quality of the discovered visual patterns by leveraging the identified patterns as proposed objects in an image and compare with other relevant methods. Our proposed network and procedure, PatterNet, is able to outperform competing methods for the tasks described.

In this paper, emerging deep learning techniques are leveraged to deal with Mars visual navigation problem. Specifically, to achieve precise landing and autonomous navigation, a novel deep neural network architecture with double branches and non-recurrent structure is designed, which can represent both global and local deep features of Martian environment images effectively. By employing this architecture, Mars rover can determine the optimal navigation policy to the target point directly from original Martian environment images. Moreover, compared with the existing state-of-the-art algorithm, the training time is reduced by 45.8%. Finally, experiment results demonstrate that the proposed deep neural network architecture achieves better performance and faster convergence than the existing ones and generalizes well to unknown environment.
In this paper we describe a novel framework and algorithms for discovering image patch patterns from a large corpus of weakly supervised image-caption pairs generated from news events. Current pattern mining techniques attempt to find patterns that are representative and discriminative, we stipulate that our discovered patterns must also be recognizable by humans and preferably with meaningful names. We propose a new multimodal pattern mining approach that leverages the descriptive captions often accompanying news images to learn semantically meaningful image patch patterns. The mutltimodal patterns are then named using words mined from the associated image captions for each pattern. A novel evaluation framework is provided that demonstrates our patterns are 26.2% more semantically meaningful than those discovered by the state of the art vision only pipeline, and that we can provide tags for the discovered images patches with 54.5% accuracy with no direct supervision. Our methods also discover named patterns beyond those covered by the existing image datasets like ImageNet. To the best of our knowledge this is the first algorithm developed to automatically mine image patch patterns that have strong semantic meaning specific to high-level news events, and then evaluate these patterns based on that criteria.
The success of recent deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) depends on learning hidden representations that can summarize the important factors of variation behind the data. However, CNNs often criticized as being black boxes that lack interpretability, since they have millions of unexplained model parameters. In this work, we describe Network Dissection, a method that interprets networks by providing labels for the units of their deep visual representations. The proposed method quantifies the interpretability of CNN representations by evaluating the alignment between individual hidden units and a set of visual semantic concepts. By identifying the best alignments, units are given human interpretable labels across a range of objects, parts, scenes, textures, materials, and colors. The method reveals that deep representations are more transparent and interpretable than expected: we find that representations are significantly more interpretable than they would be under a random equivalently powerful basis. We apply the method to interpret and compare the latent representations of various network architectures trained to solve different supervised and self-supervised training tasks. We then examine factors affecting the network interpretability such as the number of the training iterations, regularizations, different initializations, and the network depth and width. Finally we show that the interpreted units can be used to provide explicit explanations of a prediction given by a CNN for an image. Our results highlight that interpretability is an important property of deep neural networks that provides new insights into their hierarchical structure.
In this paper, we propose a novel training strategy for convolutional neural network(CNN) named Feature Mining, that aims to strengthen the networks learning of the local feature. Through experiments, we find that semantic contained in different parts of the feature is different, while the network will inevitably lose the local information during feedforward propagation. In order to enhance the learning of local feature, Feature Mining divides the complete feature into two complementary parts and reuse these divided feature to make the network learn more local information, we call the two steps as feature segmentation and feature reusing. Feature Mining is a parameter-free method and has plug-and-play nature, and can be applied to any CNN models. Extensive experiments demonstrate the wide applicability, versatility, and compatibility of our method.
This paper presents a novel approach for image retrieval and pattern spotting in document image collections. The manual feature engineering is avoided by learning a similarity-based representation using a Siamese Neural Network trained on a previously prepared subset of image pairs from the ImageNet dataset. The learned representation is used to provide the similarity-based feature maps used to find relevant image candidates in the data collection given an image query. A robust experimental protocol based on the public Tobacco800 document image collection shows that the proposed method compares favorably against state-of-the-art document image retrieval methods, reaching 0.94 and 0.83 of mean average precision (mAP) for retrieval and pattern spotting (IoU=0.7), respectively. Besides, we have evaluated the proposed method considering feature maps of different sizes, showing the impact of reducing the number of features in the retrieval performance and time-consuming.
