Experimentally Defined Convolutional Neural Network Architecture Variants for Non-temporal Real-time Fire Detection (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dunnings, A., & Breckon, T. (2018, October). Experimentally Defined Convolutional Neural Network Architecture Variants for Non-temporal Real-time Fire Detection. Presented at 25th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)., Athens, Greece

In this work we investigate the automatic detection of fire pixel regions in video (or still) imagery within real-time bounds without reliance on temporal scene information. As an extension to prior work in the field, we consider the performance of e...

Eliminating the Dreaded Blind Spot: Adapting 3D Object Detection and Monocular Depth Estimation to 360° Panoramic Imagery (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Payen de La Garanderie, G., Atapour-Abarghouei, A., & Breckon, T. (2018, September). Eliminating the Dreaded Blind Spot: Adapting 3D Object Detection and Monocular Depth Estimation to 360° Panoramic Imagery. Presented at 15th European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2018), Munich, Germany

Recent automotive vision work has focused almost exclusively on processing forward-facing cameras. However, future autonomous vehicles will not be viable without a more comprehensive surround sensing, akin to a human driver, as can be provided by 360...

With the rise of consumer-grade spherical cameras, offering full omni-directional 360∘ image capture, the potential for low-cost omni-directional stereo vision is ever present. Whilst this potentially offers novel low-cost omni-directional depth sens... Read More about Real-time Low-Cost Omni-directional Stereo Vision via Bi-Polar Spherical Cameras.

A conceptual framework for social movements analytics for national security (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cárdenas, P., Theodoropoulos, G., Obara, B., & Kureshi, I. (2018, June). A conceptual framework for social movements analytics for national security. Presented at International Conference on Computational Science, Wuxi, China

Social media tools have changed our world due to the way they convey information between individuals; this has led to many social movements either starting on social media or being organised and managed through this medium. At times however, certain... Read More about A conceptual framework for social movements analytics for national security.

Extended Patch Prioritization for Depth Filling Within Constrained Exemplar-Based RGB-D Image Completion (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Atapour-Abarghouei, A., & Breckon, T. P. (2018, December). Extended Patch Prioritization for Depth Filling Within Constrained Exemplar-Based RGB-D Image Completion. Presented at International Conference Image Analysis and Recognition, Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal

We address the problem of hole filling in depth images, obtained from either active or stereo sensing, for the purposes of depth image completion in an exemplar-based framework. Most existing exemplar-based inpainting techniques, designed for color i... Read More about Extended Patch Prioritization for Depth Filling Within Constrained Exemplar-Based RGB-D Image Completion.

Visual siamese clustering for cosmetic product recommendation (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Holder, C., & Obara, B. (2018, December). Visual siamese clustering for cosmetic product recommendation. Presented at 14th Asian Conference on Computer Vision (ACCV)., Perth, Australia

We investigate the problem of a visual similarity-based recommender system, where cosmetic products are recommended based on the preferences of people who share similarity of visual features. In this work we train a Siamese convolutional neural netwo... Read More about Visual siamese clustering for cosmetic product recommendation.

Single Image Watermark Retrieval from 3D Printed Surfaces via Convolutional Neural Networks (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, X., Wang, Q., & Ivrissimtzis, I. (2018, December). Single Image Watermark Retrieval from 3D Printed Surfaces via Convolutional Neural Networks. Presented at EG UK Computer Graphics & Visual Computing, Swansea, UK

In this paper we propose and analyse a method for watermarking 3D printed objects, concentrating on the watermark retrieval problem.
