Heuristics2Annotate: Efficient Annotation of Large-Scale Marathon Dataset For Bounding Box Regression

Annotating a large-scale in-the-wild person re-identification dataset especially of marathon runners is a challenging task. The variations in the scenarios such as camera viewpoints, resolution, occlusion, and illumination make the problem non-trivial. Manually annotating bounding boxes in such large-scale datasets is cost-inefficient....

Sensing share space using Stereo Vision

With the increasing popularity of active modes (mainly pedestrians and bicycles), the spaces shared amongst these modes are also rising. Such spaces are often referred to as shared spaces and can often be seen in public areas near train stations, shopping streets and educational institutions. Such spaces are said to enhance safety and resolve...

A Stochastic Approach for Selective Search Algorithms

This thesis introduces a new algorithm that generates candidate proposals for an object detection pipeline. We introduce Stochastic Selective Search (SSS), a segmentation based selective search method, which differs from previous work in two ways. First and most importantly, SSS is much faster than current state-of-the-art algorithms while...
