The collection of a lot of personal information about individuals, including the minor members of a family, by closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras creates a lot of privacy concerns. Particularly, revealing childrens identifications or activities may compromise their well-being. In this paper, we investigate lightweight solutions that are affordable to edge surveillance systems, which is made feasible and accurate to identify minors such that appropriate privacy-preserving measures can be applied accordingly. State of the art deep learning architectures are modified and re-purposed in a cascaded fashion to maximize the accuracy of our model. A pipeline extracts faces from the input frames and classifies each one to be of an adult or a child. Over 20,000 labeled sample points are used for classification. We explore the timing and resources needed for such a model to be used in the Edge-Fog architecture at the edge of the network, where we can achieve near real-time performance on the CPU. Quantitative experimental results show the superiority of our proposed model with an accuracy of 92.1% in classification compared to some other face recognition based child detection approaches.

Modern mobile neural networks with a reduced number of weights and parameters do a good job with image classification tasks, but even they may be too complex to be implemented in an FPGA for video processing tasks. The article proposes neural network architecture for the practical task of recognizing images from a camera, which has several advantages in terms of speed. This is achieved by reducing the number of weights, moving from a floating-point to a fixed-point arithmetic, and due to a number of hardware-level optimizations associated with storing weights in blocks, a shift register, and an adjustable number of convolutional blocks that work in parallel. The article also proposed methods for adapting the existing data set for solving a different task. As the experiments showed, the proposed neural network copes well with real-time video processing even on the cheap FPGAs.
Interlacing is a widely used technique, for television broadcast and video recording, to double the perceived frame rate without increasing the bandwidth. But it presents annoying visual artifacts, such as flickering and silhouette serration, during the playback. Existing state-of-the-art deinterlacing methods either ignore the temporal information to provide real-time performance but lower visual quality, or estimate the motion for better deinterlacing but with a trade-off of higher computational cost. In this paper, we present the first and novel deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) based method to deinterlace with high visual quality and real-time performance. Unlike existing models for super-resolution problems which relies on the translation-invariant assumption, our proposed DCNN model utilizes the temporal information from both the odd and even half frames to reconstruct only the missing scanlines, and retains the given odd and even scanlines for producing the full deinterlaced frames. By further introducing a layer-sharable architecture, our system can achieve real-time performance on a single GPU. Experiments shows that our method outperforms all existing methods, in terms of reconstruction accuracy and computational performance.
We propose a novel real-time selfie video stabilization method. Our method is completely automatic and runs at 26 fps. We use a 1D linear convolutional network to directly infer the rigid moving least squares warping which implicitly balances between the global rigidity and local flexibility. Our network structure is specifically designed to stabilize the background and foreground at the same time, while providing optional control of stabilization focus (relative importance of foreground vs. background) to the users. To train our network, we collect a selfie video dataset with 1005 videos, which is significantly larger than previous selfie video datasets. We also propose a grid approximation method to the rigid moving least squares warping that enables the real-time frame warping. Our method is fully automatic and produces visually and quantitatively better results than previous real-time general video stabilization methods. Compared to previous offline selfie video methods, our approach produces comparable quality with a speed improvement of orders of magnitude.
In this work we present SwiftNet for real-time semisupervised video object segmentation (one-shot VOS), which reports 77.8% J &F and 70 FPS on DAVIS 2017 validation dataset, leading all present solutions in overall accuracy and speed performance. We achieve this by elaborately compressing spatiotemporal redundancy in matching-based VOS via Pixel-Adaptive Memory (PAM). Temporally, PAM adaptively triggers memory updates on frames where objects display noteworthy inter-frame variations. Spatially, PAM selectively performs memory update and match on dynamic pixels while ignoring the static ones, significantly reducing redundant computations wasted on segmentation-irrelevant pixels. To promote efficient reference encoding, light-aggregation encoder is also introduced in SwiftNet deploying reversed sub-pixel. We hope SwiftNet could set a strong and efficient baseline for real-time VOS and facilitate its application in mobile vision. The source code of SwiftNet can be found at https://github.com/haochenheheda/SwiftNet.
Object detection models shipped with camera-equipped edge devices cannot cover the objects of interest for every user. Therefore, the incremental learning capability is a critical feature for a robust and personalized object detection system that man y applications would rely on. In this paper, we present an efficient yet practical system, RILOD, to incrementally train an existing object detection model such that it can detect new object classes without losing its capability to detect old classes. The key component of RILOD is a novel incremental learning algorithm that trains end-to-end for one-stage deep object detection models only using training data of new object classes. Specifically to avoid catastrophic forgetting, the algorithm distills three types of knowledge from the old model to mimic the old models behavior on object classification, bounding box regression and feature extraction. In addition, since the training data for the new classes may not be available, a real-time dataset construction pipeline is designed to collect training images on-the-fly and automatically label the images with both category and bounding box annotations. We have implemented RILOD under both edge-cloud and edge-only setups. Experiment results show that the proposed system can learn to detect a new object class in just a few minutes, including both dataset construction and model training. In comparison, traditional fine-tuning based method may take a few hours for training, and in most cases would also need a tedious and costly manual dataset labeling step.
