Static gesture recognition is an effective non-verbal communication channel between a user and their devices; however many modern methods are sensitive to the relative pose of the user’s hands with respect to the capture device, as parts of the gesture can become occluded. We present two methodologies for gesture recognition via synchronized recording from two depth cameras to alleviate this occlusion problem.

Occlusion removal is an interesting application of image enhancement, for which, existing work suggests manually-annotated or domain-specific occlusion removal. No work tries to address automatic occlusion detection and removal as a context-aware generic problem. In this paper, we present a novel methodology to identify objects that do not relate to the image context as occlusions and remove them, reconstructing the space occupied coherently.

Image restoration and image enhancement are critical image processing tasks since good image quality is mandatory for many image applications. We are particularly interested in the restoration of ill-exposed images. These effects are caused by sensor limitation or optical arrangement. They prevent the details of the scene from being adequately represented in the captured image. We proposed a deep neural network model due to the number of uncontrolled variables that impact the acquisition.

Cloud segmentation is a vital task in applications that utilize satellite imagery. A common obstacle in using deep learning-based methods for this task is the insufficient number of images with their annotated ground truths. This work presents a content-aware unpaired image-to-image translation algorithm. It generates synthetic images with different land cover types from original images while preserving the locations and the intensity values of the cloud pixels. Therefore, no manual annotation of ground truth in these images is required.

This paper presents a novel deep architecture for weakly-supervised temporal action localization that predicts temporal boundaries with graph regularization. Our model not only generates segment-level action responses but also propagates segment-level responses to
neighborhood in a form of graph Laplacian regularization. Specifically, our approach consists of two sub-modules; a class activation
module to estimate the action score map over time through the action classifiers, and a graph regularization module to refine the

Humans have an incredible ability to process and understand
information from multiple sources such as images,
video, text, and speech. Recent success of deep neural
networks has enabled us to develop algorithms which give
machines the ability to understand and interpret this information.
There is a need to both broaden their applicability and
develop methods which correlate visual information along
with semantic content. We propose a unified model which
jointly trains on images and captions, and learns to generate

A promising way to deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based services on mobile devices is to run a part of the AI model (a deep neural network) on the mobile itself, and the rest in the cloud. This is sometimes referred to as collaborative intelligence. In this framework, intermediate features from the deep network need to be transmitted to the cloud for further processing. We study the case where such features are used for multiple purposes in the cloud (multi-tasking) and where they need to be compressible in order to allow efficient transmission to the cloud.
