Polynomial Trajectory Predictions for Improved Learning Performance
Jan 29, 2021
The rising demand for Active Safety systems in automotive applications stresses the need for a reliable short to mid-term trajectory prediction. Anticipating the unfolding path of road users, one can act to increase the overall safety. In this work, we propose to train artificial neural networks for movement understanding by predicting trajectories in their natural form, as a function of time. Predicting polynomial coefficients allows us to increased accuracy and improve generalisation.
A Statistical Defense Approach for Detecting Adversarial Examples
Aug 26, 2019
Adversarial examples are maliciously modified inputs created to fool deep neural networks (DNN). The discovery of such inputs presents a major issue to the expansion of DNN-based solutions. Many researchers have already contributed to the topic, providing both cutting edge-attack techniques and various defensive strategies. In this work, we focus on the development of a system capable of detecting adversarial samples by exploiting statistical information from the training-set. Our detector computes several distorted replicas of the test input, then collects the classifier's prediction vectors to build a meaningful signature for the detection task. Then, the signature is projected onto the class-specific statistic vector to infer the input's nature. The classification output of the original input is used to select the class-statistic vector. We show that our method reliably detects malicious inputs, outperforming state-of-the-art approaches in various settings, while being complementary to other defensive solutions.
EffNet: An Efficient Structure for Convolutional Neural Networks
Jun 05, 2018
With the ever increasing application of Convolutional Neural Networks to customer products the need emerges for models to efficiently run on embedded, mobile hardware. Slimmer models have therefore become a hot research topic with various approaches which vary from binary networks to revised convolution layers. We offer our contribution to the latter and propose a novel convolution block which significantly reduces the computational burden while surpassing the current state-of-the-art. Our model, dubbed EffNet, is optimised for models which are slim to begin with and is created to tackle issues in existing models such as MobileNet and ShuffleNet.
Learning Robust Video Synchronization without Annotations
Sep 16, 2017
Aligning video sequences is a fundamental yet still unsolved component for a broad range of applications in computer graphics and vision. Most classical image processing methods cannot be directly applied to related video problems due to the high amount of underlying data and their limit to small changes in appearance. We present a scalable and robust method for computing a non-linear temporal video alignment. The approach autonomously manages its training data for learning a meaningful representation in an iterative procedure each time increasing its own knowledge. It leverages on the nature of the videos themselves to remove the need for manually created labels. While previous alignment methods similarly consider weather conditions, season and illumination, our approach is able to align videos from data recorded months apart.
