  • Fine-Grained Object Recognition Under Limited Training Data

    Creator:
    Lam, Michael Q.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses object recognition in challenging settings, where distinct object classes are visually very similar (e.g., species of birds and insects) and/or access to training examples of object classes is limited (e.g., due to the associated high costs of data annotation). In this dissertation, we present a variety of...

  • Robust and Efficient Classification of Videos in the Wild

    Creator:
    Mahasseni, Behrooz
    Abstract:
    Recognizing human actions in videos is a long-standing problem in computer vision with a wide range of applications including video surveillance, content retrieval, and sports analysis. This thesis focuses on addressing efficiency and robustness of video classification in unconstrained real-world settings. The thesis work can be broadly divided into four...

  • From multitarget tracking to event recognition in videos

    Creator:
    Brendel, William
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses two fundamental problems in computer vision—namely, multitarget tracking and event recognition in videos. These problems are challenging because uncertainty may arise from a host of sources, including motion blur, occlusions, and dynamic cluttered backgrounds. We show that these challenges can be successfully addressed by using a multiscale,...

  • Part-based and Uncertainty-Aware Few-shot Object Segmentation in Images

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Khoi D.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses few-shot object segmentation in images. The goal of segmentation is to label every image pixel with a class of the object occupying that pixel, where the class may represent a semantic object category or instance. In few-shot segmentation, training and test datasets have different classes. Every new...

  • Efficient Incremental Panorama Reconstruction from Multiple Videos

    Creator:
    Feng, Zhongyuan
    Abstract:
    Constructing a panorama from a set of videos is a long-standing problem in computer vision. A panorama represents an enhanced still-image representation of an entire scene captured in a set of videos, where each video shows only a part of the scene. Importantly, a panorama shows only the scene background,...

  • Hierarchical graphical models for activity recognition in videos

    Creator:
    Amer, Mohamed R.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses the problem of recognizing human activities in videos. Our focus is on activities with stochastic structure, where the activities are characterized by variable space-time arrangements of actions, and conducted by a variable number of actors. These activities occur frequently in sports and surveillance videos. They may appear...

  • Action Segmentation with Limited Supervision

    Creator:
    Li, Jun
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we address action segmentation in videos under limited supervision. The goal of action segmentation is to predict an action class for each frame of a video. The limited supervision means ground truth labels of video frames are not available in training. We focus on three types of...
