NTIRE 2023 Image Shadow Removal Challenge Technical Report: Team IIM_TTI

1 code implementation13 Mar 2024 Yuki Kondo, Riku Miyata, Fuma Yasue, Taito Naruki, Norimichi Ukita

In this paper, we analyze and discuss ShadowFormer in preparation for the NTIRE2023 Shadow Removal Challenge [1], implementing five key improvements: image alignment, the introduction of a perceptual quality loss function, the semi-automatic annotation for shadow detection, joint learning of shadow detection and removal, and the introduction of new data augmentation technique "CutShadow" for shadow removal.

Learning Group Activity Features Through Person Attribute Prediction

1 code implementation5 Mar 2024 Chihiro Nakatani, Hiroaki Kawashima, Norimichi Ukita

Unlike prior work in which the manual annotation of group activities is required for supervised learning, our method learns the GAF through person attribute prediction without group activity annotations.

Interaction-aware Joint Attention Estimation Using People Attributes

1 code implementation ICCV 2023 Chihiro Nakatani, Hiroaki Kawashima, Norimichi Ukita

We introduce a specialized MLP head with positional embedding to the Transformer so that it predicts pixelwise confidence of joint attention for generating the confidence heatmap.

MVA2023 Small Object Detection Challenge for Spotting Birds: Dataset, Methods, and Results

Small Object Detection (SOD) is an important machine vision topic because (i) a variety of real-world applications require object detection for distant objects and (ii) SOD is a challenging task due to the noisy, blurred, and less-informative image appearances of small objects.

R2-Diff: Denoising by diffusion as a refinement of retrieved motion for image-based motion prediction

no code implementations15 Jun 2023 Takeru Oba, Norimichi Ukita

In R2-Diff, a motion retrieved from a dataset based on image similarity is fed into a diffusion model instead of random noise.

KS-DETR: Knowledge Sharing in Attention Learning for Detection Transformer

1 code implementation22 Feb 2023 Kaikai Zhao, Norimichi Ukita

We propose a triple-attention module in which the first attention is a plain scaled dot-product attention, the second/third attention generates high-quality weights/values (with the assistance of GT Fg-Bg Mask) and shares the values/weights with the first attention to improve the quality of values/weights.

Kernelized Back-Projection Networks for Blind Super Resolution

no code implementations16 Feb 2023 Tomoki Yoshida, Yuki Kondo, Takahiro Maeda, Kazutoshi Akita, Norimichi Ukita

In our second model, the Kernelized BackProjection Network (KBPN), a raw kernel is estimated and directly employed for modeling the image degradation.

Data-Driven Stochastic Motion Evaluation and Optimization with Image by Spatially-Aligned Temporal Encoding

no code implementations10 Feb 2023 Takeru Oba, Norimichi Ukita

While our method evaluates the task achievability by the Energy-Based Model (EBM), previous EBMs are not designed for evaluating the consistency between different domains (i. e., image and motion in our method).

Image Super-Resolution using Explicit Perceptual Loss

no code implementations1 Sep 2020 Tomoki Yoshida, Kazutoshi Akita, Muhammad Haris, Norimichi Ukita

The previous approaches use several loss functions which is hard to interpret and has the implicit relationships to improve the perceptual score.

Space-Time-Aware Multi-Resolution Video Enhancement

1 code implementation CVPR 2020 Muhammad Haris, Greg Shakhnarovich, Norimichi Ukita

We consider the problem of space-time super-resolution (ST-SR): increasing spatial resolution of video frames and simultaneously interpolating frames to increase the frame rate.

Semi- and Weakly-supervised Human Pose Estimation

no code implementations4 Jun 2019 Norimichi Ukita, Yusuke Uematsu

While the first and second learning schemes select only poses that are similar to those in the supervised training data, the third scheme selects more true-positive poses that are significantly different from any supervised poses.

Deep Back-Projection Networks for Single Image Super-resolution

7 code implementations4 Apr 2019 Muhammad Haris, Greg Shakhnarovich, Norimichi Ukita

Previous feed-forward architectures of recently proposed deep super-resolution networks learn the features of low-resolution inputs and the non-linear mapping from those to a high-resolution output.
