Location recognition over large time lags

Location recognition over large time lags

Would it be possible to automatically associate ancient pictures to modern ones and create fancy cultural heritage city maps? We introduce here the task of recognizing the location depicted in an old photo given modern annotated images collected from the Internet. We present an extensive analysis on different features, looking for the most discriminative and most robust to the image variability...

Learning Over Long Time Lags

The advantage of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) in learning dependencies between time-series data has distinguished RNNs from other deep learning models. Recently, many advances are proposed in this emerging field. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review on memory models in RNNs in the literature. This paper provides a fundamental review on RNNs and long short term memory (LSTM) mode...

Evolutionary learning of dynamic probabilistic models with large time lags

In this paper, we explore the automatic explanation of Multivariate Time Series (MTS) through learning Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs). We have developed an evolutionary algorithm which exploits certain characteristics of process MTS in order to generate good networks as quickly as possible. We compare this algorithm to other standard learning algorithms that have traditionally been used for s...

Real Time Implementation of a License Plate Location Recognition System Based on Adaptive Morphology

License plate recognition (LPR) by using morphology has the advantage of resistance to brightness changes; high speed processing, and low complexity. However these approaches are sensitive to the distance of the plate from the camera and imaging angle. Various assumptions reported in other works might be unrealistic and cause major problems in practical experiences. In this paper we considered ...
