NinjaDesc: Content-Concealing Visual Descriptors via Adversarial Learning

no code implementations CVPR 2022 Tony Ng, Hyo Jin Kim, Vincent Lee, Daniel DeTone, Tsun-Yi Yang, Tianwei Shen, Eddy Ilg, Vassileios Balntas, Krystian Mikolajczyk, Chris Sweeney

We let a feature encoding network and image reconstruction network compete with each other, such that the feature encoder tries to impede the image reconstruction with its generated descriptors, while the reconstructor tries to recover the input image from the descriptors.

HyNet: Learning Local Descriptor with Hybrid Similarity Measure and Triplet Loss

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2020 Yurun Tian, Axel Barroso-Laguna, Tony Ng, Vassileios Balntas, Krystian Mikolajczyk

Recent works show that local descriptor learning benefits from the use of L2 normalisation, however, an in-depth analysis of this effect lacks in the literature.

D2D: Keypoint Extraction with Describe to Detect Approach

no code implementations27 May 2020 Yurun Tian, Vassileios Balntas, Tony Ng, Axel Barroso-Laguna, Yiannis Demiris, Krystian Mikolajczyk

In this paper, we present a novel approach that exploits the information within the descriptor space to propose keypoint locations.

SOLAR: Second-Order Loss and Attention for Image Retrieval

1 code implementation ECCV 2020 Tony Ng, Vassileios Balntas, Yurun Tian, Krystian Mikolajczyk

One is focused on second-order spatial information to increase the performance of image descriptors, both local and global.

UR2KiD: Unifying Retrieval, Keypoint Detection, and Keypoint Description without Local Correspondence Supervision

no code implementations20 Jan 2020 Tsun-Yi Yang, Duy-Kien Nguyen, Huub Heijnen, Vassileios Balntas

In this paper, we explore how three related tasks, namely keypoint detection, description, and image retrieval can be jointly tackled using a single unified framework, which is trained without the need of training data with point to point correspondences.

SOSNet: Second Order Similarity Regularization for Local Descriptor Learning

2 code implementations CVPR 2019 Yurun Tian, Xin Yu, Bin Fan, Fuchao Wu, Huub Heijnen, Vassileios Balntas

Despite the fact that Second Order Similarity (SOS) has been used with significant success in tasks such as graph matching and clustering, it has not been exploited for learning local descriptors.

RelocNet: Continuous Metric Learning Relocalisation using Neural Nets

no code implementations ECCV 2018 Vassileios Balntas, Shuda Li, Victor Prisacariu

We propose a method of learning suitable convolutional representations for camera pose retrieval based on nearest neighbour matching and continuous metric learning-based feature descriptors.

Learning Deep Convolutional Embeddings for Face Representation Using Joint Sample- and Set-based Supervision

no code implementations1 Aug 2017 Baris Gecer, Vassileios Balntas, Tae-Kyun Kim

In this work, we investigate several methods and strategies to learn deep embeddings for face recognition, using joint sample- and set-based optimization.

Siamese Regression Networks with Efficient mid-level Feature Extraction for 3D Object Pose Estimation

no code implementations8 Jul 2016 Andreas Doumanoglou, Vassileios Balntas, Rigas Kouskouridas, Tae-Kyun Kim

Furthermore, we argue that our pose-guided feature learning using our Siamese Regression Network generates more discriminative features that outperform the state of the art.

PN-Net: Conjoined Triple Deep Network for Learning Local Image Descriptors

1 code implementation19 Jan 2016 Vassileios Balntas, Edward Johns, Lilian Tang, Krystian Mikolajczyk

We address this problem and propose a CNN based descriptor with improved matching performance, significantly reduced training and execution time, as well as low dimensionality.

BOLD - Binary Online Learned Descriptor For Efficient Image Matching

no code implementations CVPR 2015 Vassileios Balntas, Lilian Tang, Krystian Mikolajczyk

The patch adapted descriptors are then efficiently built online from a subset of tests which lead to lower intra class distances thus a more robust descriptor.
