Despite recent progress in adapting State Space Models such as Mamba to vision tasks, their intrinsic 1D scanning mechanism imposes limitations when applied to inherently 2D-structured data like images. Existing adaptations, including VMamba and 2DMamba, either suffer from inconsistency between scan
Recent advances in gigapixel-level imaging have brought High-Resolution Wide shots to the forefront of research. However, these images present significant challenges: extreme sparsity of foreground, gigapixel-level resolutions and diverse target counts. This makes traditional close-up detectors inac
Object detection in High-Resolution Wide (HRW) shots, or gigapixel images, presents unique challenges due to extreme object sparsity and vast scale variations. State-of-the-art methods like SparseFormer have pioneered sparse processing by selectively focusing on important regions, yet they apply a u
Object detection in high-resolution wide (HRW) shots presents unique challenges due to the extreme sparsity of objects and the variability in sparsity ratios across images. Conventional detectors, designed for close-up settings like MS COCO, struggle to generalize to these scenarios, leading to inef
In recent years, object detection in deep learning has experienced rapid development. However, most existing object detection models perform well only on closed-set datasets, ignoring a large number of potential objects whose categories are not defined in the training set. These objects are often id…
Performing person detection in super-high-resolution images has been a challenging task. For such a task, modern detectors, which usually encode a box using center and width/height, struggle with accuracy due to two factors: 1) Human characteristic: people come in various postures and the center wit…
Pedestrian trajectory prediction is a well-established task with significant recent advancements. However existing datasets are unable to fulfill the demand for studying minute-level long-term trajectory prediction mainly due to the lack of high-resolution trajectory observation in the wide field of…
Active learning selects informative samples for annotation within budget, which has proven efficient recently on object detection. However, the widely used active detection benchmarks conduct image-level evaluation, which is unrealistic in human workload estimation and biased towards crowded images.…
Recently, transformers have shown strong ability as visual feature extractors, surpassing traditional convolution-based models in various scenarios. However, the success of vision transformers largely owes to their capacity to accommodate numerous parameters. As a result, new challenges for adapting…
Nowadays, privacy issue has become a top priority when training AI algorithms. Machine learning algorithms are expected to benefit our daily life, while personal information must also be carefully protected from exposure. Facial information is particularly sensitive in this regard. Multiple datasets…
While deep neural network-based video denoising methods have achieved promising results, it is still hard to deploy them on mobile devices due to their high computational cost and memory demands. This paper aims to develop a lightweight deep video denoising method that is friendly to resource-constr…
Unsupervised domain adaptive person re-identification aims at learning on an unlabeled target domain with only labeled data in source domain. Currently, the state-of-the-arts usually solve this problem by pseudo-label-based clustering and fine-tuning in target domain. However, the reason behind the…
We propose ResRep, a novel method for lossless channel pruning (a.k.a. filter pruning), which slims down a CNN by reducing the width (number of output channels) of convolutional layers. Inspired by the neurobiology research about the independence of remembering and forgetting, we propose to re-param…
We present PANDA, the first gigaPixel-level humAN-centric viDeo dAtaset, for large-scale, long-term, and multi-object visual analysis. The videos in PANDA were captured by a gigapixel camera and cover real-world scenes with both wide field-of-view ( 1 square kilometer area) and high-resolution detai…
As designing appropriate Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture in the context of a given application usually involves heavy human works or numerous GPU hours, the research community is soliciting the architecture-neutral CNN structures, which can be easily plugged into multiple mature arch…
It is not easy to design and run Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) due to: 1) finding the optimal number of filters (i.e., the width) at each layer is tricky, given an architecture; and 2) the computational intensity of CNNs impedes the deployment on computationally limited devices. Oracle Prunin…
The redundancy is widely recognized in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which enables to remove some unimportant filters from convolutional layers so as to slim the network with acceptable performance drop. Inspired by the linearity of convolution, we seek to make some filters increasingly clos…
Deep Neural Network (DNN) is powerful but computationally expensive and memory intensive, thus impeding its practical usage on resource-constrained front-end devices. DNN pruning is an approach for deep model compression, which aims at eliminating some parameters with tolerable performance degradati…
