We study a class of mathematical and statistical algorithms with the aim of establishing a computer-based framework for fast and reliable automatic abnormality detection on landmark represented image templates. Under this framework, we apply a landmark-based algorithm for finding a group average as an estimator that is said to best represent the common features of the group in study. This algorithm extracts information of momentum at each landmark through the process of template matching. If ever converges, the proposed algorithm produces a local coordinate system for each member of the observing group, in terms of the residual momentum. We use a Bayesian approach on the collected residual momentum representations for making inference. For illustration, we apply this framework to a small database of brain images for detecting structure abnormality. The brain structure changes identified by our framework are highly consistent with studies in the literature.

We introduce a new landmark recognition dataset, which is created with a focus on fair worldwide representation. While previous work proposes to collect as many images as possible from web repositories, we instead argue that such approaches can lead
to biased data. To create a more comprehensive and equitable dataset, we start by defining the fair relevance of a landmark to the world population. These relevances are estimated by combining anonymized Google Maps user contribution statistics with the contributors demographic information. We present a stratification approach and analysis which leads to a much fairer coverage of the world, compared to existing datasets. The resulting datasets are used to evaluate computer vision models as part of the the Google Landmark Recognition and RetrievalChallenges 2021.
In this work, we use facial landmarks to make the deformation for facial images more authentic. The deformation includes the expansion of eyes and the shrinking of noses, mouths, and cheeks. An advanced 106-point facial landmark detector is utilized
to provide control points for deformation. Bilinear interpolation is used in the expansion and Moving Least Squares methods (MLS) including Affine Deformation, Similarity Deformation and Rigid Deformation are used in the shrinking. We compare the running time as well as the quality of deformed images using different MLS methods. The experimental results show that the Rigid Deformation which can keep other parts of the images unchanged performs better even if it takes the longest time.
The current state of the research in landmark recognition highlights the good accuracy which can be achieved by embedding techniques, such as Fisher vector and VLAD. All these techniques do not exploit spatial information, i.e. consider all the featu
res and the corresponding descriptors without embedding their location in the image. This paper presents a new variant of the well-known VLAD (Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors) embedding technique which accounts, at a certain degree, for the location of features. The driving motivation comes from the observation that, usually, the most interesting part of an image (e.g., the landmark to be recognized) is almost at the center of the image, while the features at the borders are irrelevant features which do no depend on the landmark. The proposed variant, called locVLAD (location-aware VLAD), computes the mean of the two global descriptors: the VLAD executed on the entire original image, and the one computed on a cropped image which removes a certain percentage of the image borders. This simple variant shows an accuracy greater than the existing state-of-the-art approach. Experiments are conducted on two public datasets (ZuBuD and Holidays) which are used both for training and testing. Morever a more balanced version of ZuBuD is proposed.
Facial landmark detection has been studied over decades. Numerous neural network (NN)-based approaches have been proposed for detecting landmarks, especially the convolutional neural network (CNN)-based approaches. In general, CNN-based approaches ca
n be divided into regression and heatmap approaches. However, no research systematically studies the characteristics of different approaches. In this paper, we investigate both CNN-based approaches, generalize their advantages and disadvantages, and introduce a variation of the heatmap approach, a pixel-wise classification (PWC) model. To the best of our knowledge, using the PWC model to detect facial landmarks have not been comprehensively studied. We further design a hybrid loss function and a discrimination network for strengthening the landmarks interrelationship implied in the PWC model to improve the detection accuracy without modifying the original model architecture. Six common facial landmark datasets, AFW, Helen, LFPW, 300-W, IBUG, and COFW are adopted to train or evaluate our model. A comprehensive evaluation is conducted and the result shows that the proposed model outperforms other models in all tested datasets.
In this paper a new formulation of event recognition task is examined: it is required to predict event categories in a gallery of images, for which albums (groups of photos corresponding to a single event) are unknown. We propose the novel two-stage
approach. At first, features are extracted in each photo using the pre-trained convolutional neural network. These features are classified individually. The scores of the classifier are used to group sequential photos into several clusters. Finally, the features of photos in each group are aggregated into a single descriptor using neural attention mechanism. This algorithm is optionally extended to improve the accuracy for classification of each image in an album. In contrast to conventional fine-tuning of convolutional neural networks (CNN) we proposed to use image captioning, i.e., generative model that converts images to textual descriptions. They are one-hot encoded and summarized into sparse feature vector suitable for learning of arbitrary classifier. Experimental study with Photo Event Collection and Multi-Label Curation of Flickr Events Dataset demonstrates that our approach is 9-20% more accurate than event recognition on single photos. Moreover, proposed method has 13-16% lower error rate than classification of groups of photos obtained with hierarchical clustering. It is experimentally shown that the image captions trained on Conceptual Captions dataset can be classified more accurately than the features from object detector, though they both are obviously not as rich as the CNN-based features. However, it is possible to combine our approach with conventional CNNs in an ensemble to provide the state-of-the-art results for several event datasets.
