چکیده

The performance of many computer vision methods depends on the quality of the local features extracted from the images. For most methods the local features are extracted independently of the task and they remain constant through the whole process. To make features more dynamic and give models a choice in the features they can use, this work introduces a set of intermediate features referred as cloud features. These features take advantage of part-based models at the feature level by combining each extracted local feature with its close by local feature creating a cloud of different representations for each local features. These representations capture the local variations around the local feature. At classification time, the best possible representation is pulled out of the cloud and used in the calculations. This selection is done based on several latent variables encoded within the cloud features. The goal of this paper is to test how the cloud features can improve the feature level likelihoods. The focus of the experiments of this paper is on feature level inference and showing how replacing single features with equivalent cloud features improves the likelihoods obtained from them. The experiments of this paper are conducted on several classes of MSRCv1 dataset.

An efficient method for cloud detection based on the feature-level fusion of Landsat-8 OLI spectral bands in deep convolutional neural network

Cloud segmentation is a critical pre-processing step for any multi-spectral satellite image application. In particular, disaster-related applications e.g., flood monitoring or rapid damage mapping, which are highly time and data-critical, require methods that produce accurate cloud masks in a short time while being able to adapt to large variations in the target domain (induced by atmospheric c...

Improving the Maximum-Likelihood Co-occurrence Classifier: A Study on Classification of Inhomogeneous Rock Images

An industrial rock classification system is constructed and studied. The local texture information in many image patches is extracted and classified. The decisions made at the local level are fused to form the high-level decision on the image/rock as a whole. The main difficulties of this application lay in significant variability and inhomogeneity of local textures caused by uneven rock surfac...
