Beyond Bounding-Box: Convex-Hull Feature Adaptation for Oriented and Densely Packed Object Detection
Detecting oriented and densely packed objects remains challenging for spatial feature aliasing caused by the intersection of reception fields between objects. In this paper, we propose a convex-hull feature adaptation (CFA) approach for configuring convolutional features in accordance with oriented and densely packed object layouts. CFA is rooted in convex-hull feature representation, which defines a set of dynamically predicted feature points guided by the convex intersection over union (CIoU) to bound the extent of objects. CFA pursues optimal feature assignment by constructing convex-hull sets and dynamically splitting positive or negative convex-hulls. By simultaneously considering overlapping convex-hulls and objects and penalizing convex-hulls shared by multiple objects, CFA alleviates spatial feature aliasing towards optimal feature adaptation. Experiments on DOTA and SKU110K-R datasets show that CFA significantly outperforms the baseline approach, achieving new state-of-the-art detection performance.

Tight Robustness Certification Through the Convex Hull of $\ell_0$ Attacks
Few-pixel attacks mislead a classifier by modifying a few pixels of an image. Their perturbation space is an $\ell_0$-ball, which is not convex, unlike $\ell_p$-balls for $p\geq1$. However, existing local robustness veri…

In this paper, convex hull based features are used for recognition of isolated Roman numerals using a Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) based classifier. Experiments of convex hull based features for handwritten character rec…
An Extended Integral Unit Commitment Formulation and an Iterative Algorithm for Convex Hull Pricing
To increase market transparency, independent system operators (ISOs) have been working on minimizing uplift payments based on convex hull pricing theorems. However, the large-scale complex systems for ISOs bring computat…
Computational EfficiencyInterpolation, extrapolation, and local generalization in common neural networks
There has been a long history of works showing that neural networks have hard time extrapolating beyond the training set. A recent study by Balestriero et al. (2021) challenges this view: defining interpolation as the st…
Between steps: Intermediate relaxations between big-M and convex hull formulations
This work develops a class of relaxations in between the big-M and convex hull formulations of disjunctions, drawing advantages from both. The proposed "P-split" formulations split convex additively separable constraints…
