Recently, the development of deep learning technologies such as convolutional neural networks have greatly improved the performance of object recognition in images. However, object recognition still has many challenges due to large variations in images and the diversity of object categories to be recognized. In particular, studies on object recognition in low-resolution images are still in the primary stage and have not shown satisfactory performance. In this paper, we propose an image enhancement neural network to improve object recognition performance of low resolution images. We also use the enhanced images for training an object recognition model based on convolutional neural networks to obtain robust recognition performance with resolution changes. To verify the efficiency of the proposed method, we conducted computational experiments on object recognition in a low-resolution environment using the CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 databases. We confirmed that the proposed method can greatly improve the recognition performance in low-resolution images while keeping stable performance in the original resolution images.
Active Vision from Image-Text Multimodal System Learning
In image classification, recent CNNs compete with human performance. However, there are limitations in more general recognition. Herein we deal with indoor images that contain too much information to be directly processed and require information reduction before recognition. To reduce the amount of data processing, typically variational inference or variational Bayesian methods are suggested for object detection. However, these methods suffer from the difficulty of marginalizing over the given space. In this study, we propose an image-text integrated recognition system using active vision based on Spatial Transformer Networks. The system attempts to efficiently sample a partial region of a given image for a given language information. Our experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement over traditional approaches. We also discuss the results of qualitative analysis of sampled images, model characteristics, and its limitations.
Image Based Human Action Recognition System to Support the Blind
ByoungChul Ko, Mincheol Hwang, Jae-Yeal Nam
In this paper we develop a novel human action recognition system based on communication between an ear-mounted Bluetooth camera and an action recognition server to aid scene recognition for the blind. First, if the blind capture an image of a specific location using the ear-mounted camera, the captured image is transmitted to the recognition server using a smartphone that is synchronized with the camera. The recognition server sequentially performs human detection, object detection and action recognition by analyzing human poses . The recognized action information is retransmitted to the smartphone and the user can hear the action information through the text-to-speech (TTS). Experimental results using the proposed system showed a 60.7% action recognition performance on the test data captured in indoor and outdoor environments.
