Localization Recall Precision (LRP): A New Performance Metric for Object Detection

3 code implementations ECCV 2018 Kemal Oksuz, Baris Can Cam, Emre Akbas, Sinan Kalkan

Moreover, we present LRP results of a simple online video object detector which uses a SOTA still image object detector and show that the class-specific optimized thresholds increase the accuracy against the common approach of using a general threshold for all classes.

Generating Positive Bounding Boxes for Balanced Training of Object Detectors

1 code implementation21 Sep 2019 Kemal Oksuz, Baris Can Cam, Emre Akbas, Sinan Kalkan

Using our generator as an analysis tool, we show that (i) IoU imbalance has an adverse effect on performance, (ii) hard positive example mining improves the performance only for certain input IoU distributions, and (iii) the imbalance among the foreground classes has an adverse effect on performance and that it can be alleviated at the batch level.

GANILLA: Generative Adversarial Networks for Image to Illustration Translation

4 code implementations13 Feb 2020 Samet Hicsonmez, Nermin Samet, Emre Akbas, Pinar Duygulu

To address this problem, we propose a new framework for the quantitative evaluation of image-to-illustration models, where both content and style are taken into account using separate classifiers.

HoughNet: Integrating near and long-range evidence for bottom-up object detection

2 code implementations ECCV 2020 Nermin Samet, Samet Hicsonmez, Emre Akbas

We further validate the effectiveness of our proposal in another task, namely, "labels to photo" image generation by integrating the voting module of HoughNet to two different GAN models and showing that the accuracy is significantly improved in both cases.

One Metric to Measure them All: Localisation Recall Precision (LRP) for Evaluating Visual Detection Tasks

2 code implementations21 Nov 2020 Kemal Oksuz, Baris Can Cam, Sinan Kalkan, Emre Akbas

Despite being widely used as a performance measure for visual detection tasks, Average Precision (AP) is limited in (i) reflecting localisation quality, (ii) interpretability and (iii) robustness to the design choices regarding its computation, and its applicability to outputs without confidence scores.

A Deeper Look into Convolutions via Eigenvalue-based Pruning

1 code implementation4 Feb 2021 Ilke Cugu, Emre Akbas

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are able to attain better visual recognition performance than fully connected neural networks despite having much fewer parameters due to their parameter sharing principle.

HPRNet: Hierarchical Point Regression for Whole-Body Human Pose Estimation

1 code implementation8 Jun 2021 Nermin Samet, Emre Akbas

Differently, in whole-body pose estimation, the locations of fine-grained keypoints (68 on face, 21 on each hand and 3 on each foot) are estimated as well, which creates a scale variance problem that needs to be addressed.

(ii) Motivated by our observations, e. g., that NMS-free detectors can also benefit from correlation, we propose Correlation Loss, a novel plug-in loss function that improves the performance of various object detectors by directly optimizing correlation coefficients: E. g., Correlation Loss on Sparse R-CNN, an NMS-free method, yields 1. 6 AP gain on COCO and 1. 8 AP gain on Cityscapes dataset.
