We present a descriptor, called fully convolutional self-similarity (FCSS), for dense semantic correspondence. To robustly match points among different instances within the same object class, we formulate FCSS using local self-similarity (LSS) within a fully convolutional network. In contrast to existing CNN-based descriptors, FCSS is inherently insensitive to intra-class appearance variations because of its LSS-based structure, while maintaining the precise localization ability of deep neural n

Establishing dense visual correspondence between multiple images is a fundamental task in many applications of computer vision and computational photography. Classical approaches, which aim to estimate dense stereo and optical flow fields for images adjacent in viewpoint or in time, have been dramatically advanced in recent studies. However, finding reliable visual correspondence in multi-modal or multi-spectral images still remains unsolved. In this paper, we propose a novel dense matching desc

Establishing dense correspondences between multiple images is a fundamental task in many applications. However, finding a reliable correspondence between multi-modal or multi-spectral images still remains unsolved due to their challenging photometric and geometric variations. In this paper, we propose a novel dense descriptor, called dense adaptive self-correlation (DASC), to estimate dense multi-modal and multi-spectral correspondences. Based on an observation that self-similarity existing with

We present recurrent transformer networks (RTNs) for obtaining dense correspondences between semantically similar images. Our networks accomplish this through an iterative process of estimating spatial transformations between the input images and using these transformations to generate aligned convolutional activations. By directly estimating the transformations between an image pair, rather than employing spatial transformer networks to independently normalize each individual image, we show tha

Techniques for dense semantic correspondence have provided limited ability to deal with the geometric variations that commonly exist between semantically similar images. While variations due to scale and rotation have been examined, there is a lack of practical solutions for more complex deformations such as affine transformations because of the tremendous size of the associated solution space. To address this problem, we present a discrete-continuous transformation matching (DCTM) framework whe

We present a descriptor, called fully convolutional self-similarity (FCSS), for dense semantic correspondence. Unlike traditional dense correspondence approaches for estimating depth or optical flow, semantic correspondence estimation poses additional challenges due to intra-class appearance and shape variations among different instances within the same object or scene category. To robustly match points across semantically similar images, we formulate FCSS using local self-similarity (LSS), whic

A robust similarity measure called the Mahalanobis distance cross-correlation (MDCC) is proposed for illumination-invariant stereo matching, which uses a local color distribution within support windows. It is shown that the Mahalanobis distance between the color itself and the average color is preserved under affine transformation. The MDCC converts pixels within each support window into the Mahalanobis distance transform (MDT) space. The similarity between MDT pairs is then computed using the c

We present semantic attribute matching networks (SAM-Net) for jointly establishing correspondences and transferring attributes across semantically similar images, which intelligently weaves the advantages of the two tasks while overcoming their limitations. SAM-Net accomplishes this through an iterative process of establishing reliable correspondences by reducing the attribute discrepancy between the images and synthesizing attribute transferred images using the learned correspondences. To learn

This paper describes a robust feature descriptor called the local self-similarity frequency (LSSF) for the multispectral RGB-NIR feature matching, which uses the frequency response of the local internal layout of self-similarities. A nonlinear relationship between multi-spectral image pairs makes conventional descriptors be sensitive to spectral deformation. To alleviate this problem, the LSSF employs a weighted correlation surface reducing the discrepancy between mul-tispectral images. Furtherm

We discuss the prototype implementation of IoT-Cloud services for efficient cooling management for small-size server room. We leverage open-source-based miniaturized playground for IoT-Cloud services and realize smart energy IoT-Cloud service based on the container-leveraged service orchestration with Docker containers and Docker Swarm. ln addition, we attempt to facilitate the automated and reliable operation of IoT-Cloud services with container-based orchestration.

We present a unified framework for the image classification of image sets taken under varying modality conditions. Our method is motivated by a key observation that the image feature distribution is simultaneously influenced by the semantic-class and the modality category label, which limits the performance of conventional methods for that task. With this insight, we introduce modality uniqueness as a discriminative weight that divides each modality cluster from all other clusters. By leveraging
