To tackle the problem of EHOI detection, we propose a method that detects the hands, the objects in the scene, and determines which objects are currently involved in an interaction. We compare the performance of our method with a set of state-of-the-art baselines.

A standard approach to the problem involves detecting all objects and selecting the one which best overlaps with the gaze of the visitor, measured through a gaze tracker. Since labeling large amounts of data to train a standard object detector is expensive in terms of costs and time, we propose a weakly supervised version of the task which leans only on gaze data and a frame-level label indicating the class of the attended object. To study the problem, we present a new dataset composed of egocentric videos and gaze coordinates of subjects visiting a museum. We hence compare three different baselines for weakly supervised attended object detection on the collected data. Results show that the considered approaches achieve satisfactory performance in a weakly supervised manner, which allows for significant time savings with respect to a fully supervised detector based on Faster R-CNN.

Automatic restoration of underwater images plays an important role since it allows to increase the quality of the images, without the need for more expensive equipment. This is a critical example of the important role of the machine learning algorithms to support marine exploration and monitoring, reducing the need for human intervention like the manual processing of the images, thus saving time, effort, and cost. This paper is the first application of the image transformer-based approach called\"Pre-Trained Image Processing Transformer\"to underwater images. This approach is tested on the UFO-120 dataset, containing 1500 images with the corresponding clean images.","PeriodicalId":74527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Real-time holistic scene understanding would allow machines to interpret their surrounding in a much more detailed manner than is currently possible. While panoptic image segmentation methods have brought image segmentation closer to this goal, this information has to be described relative to the 3D environment for the machine to be able to utilise it effectively. In this paper, we investigate methods for sequentially reconstructing static environments from panoptic image segmentations in 3D. We specifically target real-time operation: the algorithm must process data strictly online and be able to run at relatively fast frame rates. Additionally, the method should be scalable for environments large enough for practical applications. By applying a simple but powerful data-association algorithm, we outperform earlier similar works when operating purely online. Our method is also capable of reaching frame-rates high enough for real-time applications and is scalable to larger environments as well.

However, studies have shown that it can be hard for patients to remember the correct posology. More aggravating, a wrong dosage generally causes the disease to worsen. Although, all relevant instructions for a medicine are summarized in the corresponding patient information leaflet, the latter is generally difficult to navigate and understand. To address this problem and help patients with their medication, in this paper we introduce an augmented reality mobile application that can present to the user important details on the framed medicine. In particular, the app implements an inference engine based on a deep neural network, i.e., a densenet, fine-tuned to recognize a medicinal from its package. Subsequently, relevant information, such as posology or a simplified leaflet, is overlaid on the camera feed to help a patient when taking a medicine. Extensive experiments to select the best hyperparameters were performed on a dataset specifically collected to address this task; ultimately obtaining up to 91.30% accuracy as well as real-time capabilities.","PeriodicalId":74527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...
