The hypothesis that image datasets gathered online in the wild can produce biased object recognizers, e.g. preferring professional photography or certain viewing angles, is studied. A new in the lab data collection infrastructure is proposed consisting of a drone which captures images as it circles around objects. Crucially, the control provided by this setup and the natural camera shake inherent to flight mitigate many biases. Its inexpensive and easily replicable nature may also potentially lead to a scalable data collection effort by the vision community. The procedures usefulness is demonstrated by creating a dataset of Objects Obtained With fLight (OOWL). Denoted as OOWL500, it contains 120,000 images of 500 objects and is the largest in the lab image dataset available when both number of classes and objects per class are considered. Furthermore, it has enabled several of new insights on object recognition. First, a novel adversarial attack strategy is proposed, where image perturbations are defined in terms of semantic properties such as camera shake and pose. Indeed, experiments have shown that ImageNet has considerable amounts of pose and professional photography bias. Second, it is used to show that the augmentation of in the wild datasets, such as ImageNet, with in the lab data, such as OOWL500, can significantly decrease these biases, leading to object recognizers of improved generalization. Third, the dataset is used to study questions on best procedures for dataset collection. It is revealed that data augmentation with synthetic images does not suffice to eliminate in the wild datasets biases, and that camera shake and pose diversity play a more important role in object recognition robustness than previously thought.

Collections of images under a single, uncontrolled illumination have enabled the rapid advancement of core computer vision tasks like classification, detection, and segmentation. But even with modern learning techniques, many inverse problems involvi
ng lighting and material understanding remain too severely ill-posed to be solved with single-illumination datasets. To fill this gap, we introduce a new multi-illumination dataset of more than 1000 real scenes, each captured under 25 lighting conditions. We demonstrate the richness of this dataset by training state-of-the-art models for three challenging applications: single-image illumination estimation, image relighting, and mixed-illuminant white balance.
Non-parametric face modeling aims to reconstruct 3D face only from images without shape assumptions. While plausible facial details are predicted, the models tend to over-depend on local color appearance and suffer from ambiguous noise. To address su
ch problem, this paper presents a novel Learning to Aggregate and Personalize (LAP) framework for unsupervised robust 3D face modeling. Instead of using controlled environment, the proposed method implicitly disentangles ID-consistent and scene-specific face from unconstrained photo set. Specifically, to learn ID-consistent face, LAP adaptively aggregates intrinsic face factors of an identity based on a novel curriculum learning approach with relaxed consistency loss. To adapt the face for a personalized scene, we propose a novel attribute-refining network to modify ID-consistent face with target attribute and details. Based on the proposed method, we make unsupervised 3D face modeling benefit from meaningful image facial structure and possibly higher resolutions. Extensive experiments on benchmarks show LAP recovers superior or competitive face shape and texture, compared with state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods with or without prior and supervision.
Face tracking serves as the crucial initial step in mobile applications trying to analyse target faces over time in mobile settings. However, this problem has received little attention, mainly due to the scarcity of dedicated face tracking benchmarks
. In this work, we introduce MobiFace, the first dataset for single face tracking in mobile situations. It consists of 80 unedited live-streaming mobile videos captured by 70 different smartphone users in fully unconstrained environments. Over $95K$ bounding boxes are manually labelled. The videos are carefully selected to cover typical smartphone usage. The videos are also annotated with 14 attributes, including 6 newly proposed attributes and 8 commonly seen in object tracking. 36 state-of-the-art trackers, including facial landmark trackers, generic object trackers and trackers that we have fine-tuned or improved, are evaluated. The results suggest that mobile face tracking cannot be solved through existing approaches. In addition, we show that fine-tuning on the MobiFace training data significantly boosts the performance of deep learning-based trackers, suggesting that MobiFace captures the unique characteristics of mobile face tracking. Our goal is to offer the community a diverse dataset to enable the design and evaluation of mobile face trackers. The dataset, annotations and the evaluation server will be on url{https://mobiface.github.io/}.
The goal of few-shot image recognition (FSIR) is to identify novel categories with a small number of annotated samples by exploiting transferable knowledge from training data (base categories). Most current studies assume that the transferable knowle
dge can be well used to identify novel categories. However, such transferable capability may be impacted by the dataset bias, and this problem has rarely been investigated before. Besides, most of few-shot learning methods are biased to different datasets, which is also an important issue that needs to be investigated deeply. In this paper, we first investigate the impact of transferable capabilities learned from base categories. Specifically, we use the relevance to measure relationships between base categories and novel categories. Distributions of base categories are depicted via the instance density and category diversity. The FSIR model learns better transferable knowledge from relevant training data. In the relevant data, dense instances or diverse categories can further enrich the learned knowledge. Experimental results on different sub-datasets of ImagNet demonstrate category relevance, instance density and category diversity can depict transferable bias from base categories. Second, we investigate performance differences on different datasets from dataset structures and different few-shot learning methods. Specifically, we introduce image complexity, intra-concept visual consistency, and inter-concept visual similarity to quantify characteristics of dataset structures. We use these quantitative characteristics and four few-shot learning methods to analyze performance differences on five different datasets. Based on the experimental analysis, some insightful observations are obtained from the perspective of both dataset structures and few-shot learning methods. We hope these observations are useful to guide future FSIR research.
To construct an algorithm that can provide robust person detection, we present a dataset with over 8 million images that was produced in a weakly supervised manner. Through labor-intensive human annotation, the person detection research community has
produced relatively small datasets containing on the order of 100,000 images, such as the EuroCity Persons dataset, which includes 240,000 bounding boxes. Therefore, we have collected 8.7 million images of persons based on a two-step collection process, namely person detection with an existing detector and data refinement for false positive suppression. According to the experimental results, the Weakly Supervised Person Dataset (WSPD) is simple yet effective for person detection pre-training. In the context of pre-trained person detection algorithms, our WSPD pre-trained model has 13.38 and 6.38% better accuracy than the same model trained on the fully supervised ImageNet and EuroCity Persons datasets, respectively, when verified with the Caltech Pedestrian.
