Large-Scale Landmark Recognition: A Challenge

LandmarksCVPRW18

This workshop fosters research on image retrieval and landmark recognition by introducing a novel large-scale dataset, together with evaluation protocols. More details of the challange and the dataset can be found here

Recognition Challenge

Label famous (and not-so-famous) landmarks in image.

Retrieval Challenge

https://www.kaggle.com/c/landmark-retrieval-challenge

Given an image, can you find all of the same landmarks in a dataset?

Learnable Representations for Estimating Visual Correspondence

Finding visual correspondence is one of the fundamental image understanding problems. It is a challenging task due to strong appearance differences between the corresponding scene elements caused by, for example, changes in camera viewpoint and illumination, intra-class variation, or scenes changes over time. In this talk, I will discuss our recently developed learnable representations for visual correspondence tasks with applications to category-level object alignment, observer localization in large-scale indoor environments with textureless areas and repetitive patterns, and place recognition across day/night illumination or changes of weather and seasons.

Trends in Large-Scale Similarity Search

In this talk, I will present some recent trends in the area of similarity search. I will first review the techniques that are routinely employed to index and search billions of image descriptors, such as local features or more global representations extracted from CNN architectures. Then I will present recent advances based on graph-descent algorithms, as well as emerging methods for indexing with neural networks.
