The digital Michelangelo project was a seminal computer vision project in the early 2000s that pushed the capabilities of acquisition systems and involved multiple people from diverse fields, many of whom are now leaders in industry and academia. Reviewing this project with modern eyes provides us with the opportunity to reflect on several issues, relevant now as then to the field of computer vision and research in general, that go beyond the technical aspects of the work. This article was written in the context of a reading group competition at the week-long International Computer Vision Summer School 2017 (ICVSS) on Sicily, Italy. To deepen the participants understanding of computer vision and to foster a sense of community, various reading groups were tasked to highlight important lessons which may be learned from provided literature, going beyond the contents of the paper. This report is the winning entry of this guided discourse (Fig. 1). The authors closely examined the origins, fruits and most importantly lessons about research in general which may be distilled from the digital Michelangelo project. Discussions leading to this report were held within the group as well as with Hao Li, the group mentor.

Developers of computer vision algorithms outsource some of the labor involved in annotating training data through business process outsourcing companies and crowdsourcing platforms. Many data annotators are situated in the Global South and are consid
ered independent contractors. This paper focuses on the experiences of Argentinian and Venezuelan annotation workers. Through qualitative methods, we explore the discourses encoded in the task instructions that these workers follow to annotate computer vision datasets. Our preliminary findings indicate that annotation instructions reflect worldviews imposed on workers and, through their labor, on datasets. Moreover, we observe that for-profit goals drive task instructions and that managers and algorithms make sure annotations are done according to requesters commands. This configuration presents a form of commodified labor that perpetuates power asymmetries while reinforcing social inequalities and is compelled to reproduce them into datasets and, subsequently, in computer vision systems.
Traffic management systems capture tremendous video data and leverage advances in video processing to detect and monitor traffic incidents. The collected data are traditionally forwarded to the traffic management center (TMC) for in-depth analysis an
d may thus exacerbate the network paths to the TMC. To alleviate such bottlenecks, we propose to utilize edge computing by equipping edge nodes that are close to cameras with computing resources (e.g. cloudlets). A cloudlet, with limited computing resources as compared to TMC, provides limited video processing capabilities. In this paper, we focus on two common traffic monitoring tasks, congestion detection, and speed detection, and propose a two-tier edge computing based model that takes into account of both the limited computing capability in cloudlets and the unstable network condition to the TMC. Our solution utilizes two algorithms for each task, one implemented at the edge and the other one at the TMC, which are designed with the consideration of different computing resources. While the TMC provides strong computation power, the video quality it receives depends on the underlying network conditions. On the other hand, the edge processes very high-quality video but with limited computing resources. Our model captures this trade-off. We evaluate the performance of the proposed two-tier model as well as the traffic monitoring algorithms via test-bed experiments under different weather as well as network conditions and show that our proposed hybrid edge-cloud solution outperforms both the cloud-only and edge-only solutions.
The representation of images in the brain is known to be sparse. That is, as neural activity is recorded in a visual area ---for instance the primary visual cortex of primates--- only a few neurons are active at a given time with respect to the whole
population. It is believed that such a property reflects the efficient match of the representation with the statistics of natural scenes. Applying such a paradigm to computer vision therefore seems a promising approach towards more biomimetic algorithms. Herein, we will describe a biologically-inspired approach to this problem. First, we will describe an unsupervised learning paradigm which is particularly adapted to the efficient coding of image patches. Then, we will outline a complete multi-scale framework ---SparseLets--- implementing a biologically inspired sparse representation of natural images. Finally, we will propose novel methods for integrating prior information into these algorithms and provide some preliminary experimental results. We will conclude by giving some perspective on applying such algorithms to computer vision. More specifically, we will propose that bio-inspired approaches may be applied to computer vision using predictive coding schemes, sparse models being one simple and efficient instance of such schemes.
Littering quantification is an important step for improving cleanliness of cities. When human interpretation is too cumbersome or in some cases impossible, an objective index of cleanliness could reduce the littering by awareness actions. In this pap
er, we present a fully automated computer vision application for littering quantification based on images taken from the streets and sidewalks. We have employed a deep learning based framework to localize and classify different types of wastes. Since there was no waste dataset available, we built our acquisition system mounted on a vehicle. Collected images containing different types of wastes. These images are then annotated for training and benchmarking the developed system. Our results on real case scenarios show accurate detection of littering on variant backgrounds.
Fashion is the way we present ourselves to the world and has become one of the worlds largest industries. Fashion, mainly conveyed by vision, has thus attracted much attention from computer vision researchers in recent years. Given the rapid developm
ent, this paper provides a comprehensive survey of more than 200 major fashion-related works covering four main aspects for enabling intelligent fashion: (1) Fashion detection includes landmark detection, fashion parsing, and item retrieval, (2) Fashion analysis contains attribute recognition, style learning, and popularity prediction, (3) Fashion synthesis involves style transfer, pose transformation, and physical simulation, and (4) Fashion recommendation comprises fashion compatibility, outfit matching, and hairstyle suggestion. For each task, the benchmark datasets and the evaluation protocols are summarized. Furthermore, we highlight promising directions for future research.
