Abstract: A video retrieval system is provided, that includes a set of servers, configured to retrieve a video sequence from a database and forward it to a requesting device responsive to a match between an input text and a caption for the video sequence. The servers are further configured to translate the video sequence into the caption by (A) applying a C3D to image frames of the video sequence to obtain therefor (i) intermediate feature representations across L convolutional layers and (ii) top-layer features, (B) producing a first word of the caption for the video sequence by applying the top-layer features to a LSTM, and (C) producing subsequent words of the caption by (i) dynamically performing spatiotemporal attention and layer attention using the representations to form a context vector, and (ii) applying the LSTM to the context vector, a previous word of the caption, and a hidden state of the LSTM.

Abstract: A false alarm reduction system and method are provided for reducing false alarms in an automatic defect detection system. The false alarm reduction system includes a defect detection system, generating a list of image boxes marking detected potential defects in an input image. The false alarm reduction system further includes a feature extractor, transforming each of the image boxes in the list into a respective set of numerical features. The false alarm reduction system also includes a classifier, computing as a classification outcome for the each of the image boxes whether the detected potential defect is a true defect or a false alarm responsive to the respective set of numerical features for each of the image boxes.

Abstract: A false alarm reduction system is provided that includes a processor cropping each input image at randomly chosen positions to form cropped images of a same size at different scales in different contexts. The system further includes a CONDA-GMM, having a first and a second conditional deep autoencoder for respectively (i) taking each cropped image without a respective center block as input for measuring a discrepancy between a reconstructed and a target center block, and (ii) taking an entirety of cropped images with the target center block. The CONDA-GMM constructs density estimates based on reconstruction error features and low-dimensional embedding representations derived from image encodings. The processor determines an anomaly existence based on a prediction of a likelihood of the anomaly existing in a framework of a CGMM, given the context being a representation of the cropped image with the center block removed and having a discrepancy above a threshold.

Abstract: An action recognition system and method are provided. The action recognition system includes an image capture device configured to capture an actual image depicting an object. The action recognition system includes a processor configured to render, based on a set of 3D CAD models, synthetic images with corresponding intermediate shape concept labels. The processor is configured to form a multi-layer CNN which jointly models multiple intermediate shape concepts, based on the rendered synthetic images. The processor is configured to perform an intra-class appearance variation-aware and occlusion-aware 3D object parsing on the actual image by applying the CNN thereto to generate an image pair including a 2D and 3D geometric structure of the object. The processor is configured to control a device to perform a response action in response to an identification of an action performed by the object, wherein the identification of the action is based on the image pair.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a system are provided for video based action recognition. The system includes a processor. One or more frames from one or more video sequences are received. A feature vector for each patch of the one or more frames is generated using a deep convolutional neural network. An attention factor for the feature vectors is generated based on a within-frame attention and a between-frame attention. A target action is identified using a multi-layer deep long short-term memory process applied to the attention factor, said target action representing at least one of the one or more video sequences. An operation of a processor-based machine is controlled to change a state of the processor-based machine, responsive to the at least one of the one or more video sequences including the identified target action.

Abstract: A mass transit surveillance system and corresponding method are provided. The mass transit surveillance system includes a camera configured to capture an input image of a subject purported to be a baby and presented at a mass transit environment. The mass transit surveillance system further includes a memory storing a deep learning model configured to perform a baby detection task for the mass transit environment.
