چکیده

Given a collection of images of a static scene taken by many different people, we identify and segment interesting objects. To solve this problem, we use the distribution of images in the collection along with a new field-of-view cue, which leverages the observation that people tend to take photos that frame an object of interest within the field of view. Hence, image features that appear together in many images are likely to be part of the same object. We evaluate the effectiveness of this cue by comparing the segmentations computed by our method against hand-labeled ones for several different models. We also show how the results of our segmentations can be used to highlight important objects in the scene and label them using noisy user-specified textual tag data. These methods are demonstrated on photos of several popular tourist sites downloaded from the Internet.

Modeling Wisdom of Crowds Using Latent Mixture of Discriminative Experts

In many computational linguistic scenarios, training labels are subjectives making it necessary to acquire the opinions of multiple annotators/experts, which is referred to as ”wisdom of crowds”. In this paper, we propose a new approach for modeling wisdom of crowds based on the Latent Mixture of Discriminative Experts (LMDE) model that can automatically learn the prototypical patterns and hidd...

Local Segmentation for Pedestrian Tracking in Dense Crowds

People tracking in dense crowds is challenging due to the high levels of inter-pedestrian occlusions occurring continuously. After each successive occlusion, the surface of the tracked object that has never been hidden reduces. If not corrected, this shrinking problem eventually causes the system to stop as the area to track become too small. In this paper we investigate how hidden parts of one...
