The collection of internet images has been growing in an astonishing speed. It is undoubted that these images contain rich visual information that can be useful in many applications, such as visual media creation and data-driven image synthesis. In this paper, we focus on the methodologies for building a visual object database from a collection of internet images. Such database is built to contain a large number of high-quality visual objects that can help with various data-driven image applications. Our method is based on dense proposal generation and objectness-based re-ranking. A novel deep convolutional neural network is designed for the inference of proposal objectness, the probability of a proposal containing optimally-located foreground object. In our work, the objectness is quantitatively measured in regard of completeness and fullness, reflecting two complementary features of an optimal proposal: a complete foreground and relatively small background. Our experiments indicate that object proposals re-ranked according to the output of our network generally achieve higher performance than those produced by other state-of-the-art methods. As a concrete example, a database of over 1.2 million visual objects has been built using the proposed method, and has been successfully used in various data-driven image applications.

Segmentation of organs or lesions from medical images plays an essential role in many clinical applications such as diagnosis and treatment planning. Though Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have achieved the state-of-the-art performance for automa
tic segmentation, they are often limited by the lack of clinically acceptable accuracy and robustness in complex cases. Therefore, interactive segmentation is a practical alternative to these methods. However, traditional interactive segmentation methods require a large amount of user interactions, and recently proposed CNN-based interactive segmentation methods are limited by poor performance on previously unseen objects. To solve these problems, we propose a novel deep learning-based interactive segmentation method that not only has high efficiency due to only requiring clicks as user inputs but also generalizes well to a range of previously unseen objects. Specifically, we first encode user-provided interior margin points via our proposed exponentialized geodesic distance that enables a CNN to achieve a good initial segmentation result of both previously seen and unseen objects, then we use a novel information fusion method that combines the initial segmentation with only few additional user clicks to efficiently obtain a refined segmentation. We validated our proposed framework through extensive experiments on 2D and 3D medical image segmentation tasks with a wide range of previous unseen objects that were not present in the training set. Experimental results showed that our proposed framework 1) achieves accurate results with fewer user interactions and less time compared with state-of-the-art interactive frameworks and 2) generalizes well to previously unseen objects.
We present a novel approach of color transfer between images by exploring their high-level semantic information. First, we set up a database which consists of the collection of downloaded images from the internet, which are segmented automatically by
using matting techniques. We then, extract image foregrounds from both source and multiple target images. Then by using image matting algorithms, the system extracts the semantic information such as faces, lips, teeth, eyes, eyebrows, etc., from the extracted foregrounds of the source image. And, then the color is transferred between corresponding parts with the same semantic information. Next we get the color transferred result by seamlessly compositing different parts together using alpha blending. In the final step, we present an efficient method of color consistency to optimize the color of a collection of images showing the common scene. The main advantage of our method over existing techniques is that it does not need face matching, as one could use more than one target images. It is not restricted to head shot images as we can also change the color style in the wild. Moreover, our algorithm does not require to choose the same color style, same pose and image size between source and target images. Our algorithm is not restricted to one-to-one image color transfer and can make use of more than one target images to transfer the color in different parts in the source image. Comparing with other approaches, our algorithm is much better in color blending in the input data.
Search is at the heart of modern e-commerce. As a result, the task of ranking search results automatically (learning to rank) is a multibillion dollar machine learning problem. Traditional models optimize over a few hand-constructed features based on
the items text. In this paper, we introduce a multimodal learning to rank model that combines these traditional features with visual semantic features transferred from a deep convolutional neural network. In a large scale experiment using data from the online marketplace Etsy, we verify that moving to a multimodal representation significantly improves ranking quality. We show how image features can capture fine-grained style information not available in a text-only representation. In addition, we show concrete examples of how image information can successfully disentangle pairs of highly different items that are ranked similarly by a text-only model.
We propose a technique for producing visual explanations for decisions from a large class of CNN-based models, making them more transparent. Our approach - Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM), uses the gradients of any target concep
t, flowing into the final convolutional layer to produce a coarse localization map highlighting important regions in the image for predicting the concept. Grad-CAM is applicable to a wide variety of CNN model-families: (1) CNNs with fully-connected layers, (2) CNNs used for structured outputs, (3) CNNs used in tasks with multimodal inputs or reinforcement learning, without any architectural changes or re-training. We combine Grad-CAM with fine-grained visualizations to create a high-resolution class-discriminative visualization and apply it to off-the-shelf image classification, captioning, and visual question answering (VQA) models, including ResNet-based architectures. In the context of image classification models, our visualizations (a) lend insights into their failure modes, (b) are robust to adversarial images, (c) outperform previous methods on localization, (d) are more faithful to the underlying model and (e) help achieve generalization by identifying dataset bias. For captioning and VQA, we show that even non-attention based models can localize inputs. We devise a way to identify important neurons through Grad-CAM and combine it with neuron names to provide textual explanations for model decisions. Finally, we design and conduct human studies to measure if Grad-CAM helps users establish appropriate trust in predictions from models and show that Grad-CAM helps untrained users successfully discern a stronger nodel from a weaker one even when both make identical predictions. Our code is available at https://github.com/ramprs/grad-cam/, along with a demo at http://gradcam.cloudcv.org, and a video at youtu.be/COjUB9Izk6E.
Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a group of life threatening conditions of the aorta. We have developed an end-to-end automatic approach to detect AAS in computed tomography (CT) images. Our approach consists of two steps. At first, we extract N cross
sections along the segmented aorta centerline for each CT scan. These cross sections are stacked together to form a new volume which is then classified using two different classifiers, a 3D convolutional neural network (3D CNN) and a multiple instance learning (MIL). We trained, validated, and compared two models on 2291 contrast CT volumes. We tested on a set aside cohort of 230 normal and 50 positive CT volumes. Our models detected AAS with an Area under Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.965 and 0.985 using 3DCNN and MIL, respectively.
