Object-Detection From Multi-View Remote Sensing Images: A Case Study Of Fruit And Flower Detection And Counting On A Central Florida Strawberry Farm, Caiwang Zheng, Tao Liu, Amr Abd-Elrahman, Vance M. Whitaker, Benjamin Wilkinson

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 2

Object detection in remote sensing images is one of the most critical computer vision tasks for various earth observation applications. Previous studies applied object detection models to orthomosaic images generated from the SfM (Structure-from-Motion) analysis to perform object detection and counting. However, some small objects that are occluded from the vertical view but observable in raw images from the oblique views cannot be detected in the orthomosaic image, leading to an occlusion issue that cannot be resolved with the traditional orthophoto-based approach. Taking strawberry detection as a case study, the objective of this study is to detect small objects directly …

Psdoodle: Fast App Screen Search Via Partial Screen Doodle, Soumik Mohian, Christoph Csallner

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications

Searching through existing repositories for a specific mobile app screen design is currently either slow or tedious. Such searches are either limited to basic keyword searches (Google Image Search) or require as input a complete query screen image (SWIRE). A promising alternative is interactive partial sketching, which is more structured than keyword search and faster than complete-screen queries. PSDoodle is the first system to allow interactive search of screens via interactive sketching. PSDoodle is built on top of a combination of the Rico repository of some 58k Android app screens, the Google QuickDraw dataset of icon-level doodles, and DoodleUINet, a …

Psdoodle: Searching For App Screens Via Interactive Sketching, Soumik Mohian, Christoph Csallner

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications

Keyword-based mobile screen search does not account for screen content and fails to operate as a universal tool for all levels of users. Visual searching (e.g., image, sketch) is structured and easy to adopt. Current visual search approaches count on a complete screen and are therefore slow and tedious. PSDoodle employs a deep neural network to recognize partial screen element drawings instantly on a digital drawing interface and shows results in real-time. PSDoodle is the first tool that utilizes partial sketches and searches for screens in an interactive iterative way. PSDoodle supports different drawing styles and retrieves search results that …

Automatic detection of road intersections is an important task in various domains such as navigation, route planning, traffic prediction, and road network extraction. Road intersections range from simple three-way T-junctions (degree 3) to complex large-scale junctions with many branches. The location of intersections and their complexity is an important consideration in route planning, such as the requirement to avoid complex intersections on pedestrian journeys. This is relevant to vulnerable road users such as People with Blindness or Visually Impairment (PBVI) or children. Route planning applications, however, do not give information about the location or complexity of intersections as this information …

Attacking Audio Event Detection Deep Learning Classifiers With White Noise, Rodrigo Dos Santos, Ashwitha Kassetty, Shirin Nilizadeh

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications

We develop deep learning-based classifiers for Audio Event Detection (AED), attacking them next with some white noise disturbances. We show that an attacker can use such simple disturbances to potentially fully avoid detection by AED systems. Prior work has shown that attackers can mislead image classification tasks, however this work focuses on attacks against AED systems, by tampering the audio and not image. This work brings awareness to the designers and manufacturers of AED systems and devices, as these solutions are becoming more ubiquitous by the day.

This article proposes a novel approach for augmenting generative adversarial network (GAN) with a self-supervised task in order to improve its ability for encoding video representations that are useful in downstream tasks such as human activity recognition. In the proposed method, input video frames are randomly transformed by different spatial transformations, such as rotation, translation and shearing or temporal transformations such as shuffling temporal order of frames. Then discriminator is encouraged to predict the applied transformation by introducing an auxiliary loss. Subsequently, results prove superiority of the proposed method over baseline methods for providing a useful representation of videos used …

Slgpt: Using Transfer Learning To Directly Generate Simulink Model Files And Find Bugs In The Simulink Toolchain, Lal Shrestha Sohil, Christoph Csallner

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications

Finding bugs in a commercial cyber-physical system (CPS) development tool such as Simulink is hard as its codebase contains millions of lines of code and complete formal language specifications are not available. While deep learning techniques promise to learn such language specifications from sample models, deep learning needs a large number of training data to work well. SLGPT addresses this problem by using transfer learning to leverage the powerful Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2) model, which has been pre-trained on a large set of training data. SLGPT adapts GPT-2 to Simulink with both randomly generated models and models mined from …

Open Access archive

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation requires patients to perform a set of certain prescribed exercises a specific number of times. Local muscular endurance exercises are an important part of the rehabilitation program. Automatic exercise recognition and repetition counting, from wearable sensor data, is an important technology to enable patients to perform exercises independently in remote settings, e.g., their own home. In this paper, we first report on a comparison of traditional approaches to exercise recognition and repetition counting (supervised ML and peak detection) with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We investigated CNN models based on the AlexNet architecture and found that the performance …
