We introduce a general detection-based approach to text line recognition, be it printed (OCR) or handwritten (HTR), with Latin, Chinese, or ciphered characters. Detection-based approaches have until now been largely discarded for HTR because reading...
This paper presents our solution for the Elderly Action Recognition (EAR) Challenge, part of the Computer Vision for Smalls Workshop at WACV 2025. The competition focuses on recognizing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) performed by the elderly, cove...
Fairness in deep learning models trained with high-dimensional inputs and subjective labels remains a complex and understudied area. Facial emotion recognition, a domain where datasets are often racially imbalanced, can lead to models that yield disp...
Vision-based Continuous Sign Language Recognition (CSLR) aims to recognize unsegmented signs from image streams. Overfitting is one of the most critical problems in CSLR training, and previous works show that the iterative training scheme can partial...
Handwritten word recognition and spotting of low-resource scripts are difficult as sufficient training data is not available and it is often expensive for collecting data of such scripts. This paper presents a novel cross language platform for handwr...
Iris recognition technology, used to identify individuals by photographing the iris of their eye, has become popular in security applications because of its ease of use, accuracy, and safety in controlling access to high-security areas. Fusion of mul...
With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology, AI-enabled image recognition has emerged as a potent tool for addressing challenges in traditional environmental monitoring. This study focuses on the detection of floating objects in...
The resurgence of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in visual recognition tasks, exemplified by ConvNeXt, has demonstrated their capability to rival transformer-based architectures through advanced training methodologies and ViT-inspired design pr...
Many real-world applications, from sport analysis to surveillance, benefit from automatic long-term action recognition. In the current deep learning paradigm for automatic action recognition, it is imperative that models are trained and tested on dat...
Vision-based action recognition is one of the most challenging research topics of computer vision and pattern recognition. A specific application of it, namely, detecting fights from surveillance cameras in public areas, prisons, etc., is desired to...
I found this mathematical framework that formalizes the relationship between pattern recognition and computational complexity in sequences. I'm curious if this is a novel approach or if it relates to ...
Despite advances in multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR), code-switching (CS), the mixing of languages within an utterance common in daily speech, remains a severely underexplored challenge. In this paper, we introduce HiKE: the Hierarchic...
Egocentric vision is an emerging field of computer vision that is characterized by the acquisition of images and video from the first person perspective. In this paper we address the challenge of egocentric human action recognition by utilizing the p...
Monitoring animal behavior can facilitate conservation efforts by providing key insights into wildlife health, population status, and ecosystem function. Automatic recognition of animals and their behaviors is critical for capitalizing on the large u...
We describe the 2017 version of Microsoft's conversational speech recognition system, in which we update our 2016 system with recent developments in neural-network-based acoustic and language modeling to further advance the state of the art on the Sw...
Due to the universal non-verbal natural communication approach that allows for effective communication between humans, gesture recognition technology has been steadily developing over the previous few decades. Many different strategies have been pres...
Current face recognition tasks are usually carried out on high-quality face images, but in reality, most face images are captured under unconstrained or poor conditions, e.g., by video surveillance. Existing methods are featured by learning data unce...
Table recognition is using the computer to automatically understand the table, to detect the position of the table from the document or picture, and to correctly extract and identify the internal structure and content of the table. After earlier main...
