Early Burst Detection for Memory-Efficient Image Retrieval
Recent works show that image comparison based on local descriptors is corrupted by visual bursts, which tend to dominate the image similarity. The existing strategies, like power-law normalization, improve the results by discounting the contribution of visual bursts to the image similarity. In this paper, we propose to explicitly detect the visual bursts in an image at an early stage. We compare several detection strategies jointly taking into account feature similarity and geometrical quantities. The bursty groups are merged into meta-features, which are used as input to state-of-the-art image search systems such as VLAD or the selective match kernel. Then, we show the interest of using this strategy in an asymmetrical manner, with only the database features being aggregated but not those of the query. Extensive experiments performed on public benchmarks for visual retrieval show the benefits of our method, which achieves performance on par with the state of the art but with a significantly reduced complexity, thanks to the lower number of features fed to the indexing system.

On the Burstiness of Faces in Set
Burstiness, a phenomenon observed in text and image retrieval, refers to that particular elements appear more times in a set than a statistically independent model assumes. We argue that in the context of set-based face …

Generalist Vision-Language Models for Fast Radio Burst detection: a zero-shot benchmark against a specialized detector
Fast Radio Burst (FRB) detection increasingly relies on specialized deep learning models that require large task-specific training sets and cannot be redefined without retraining. We evaluate whether small, open-weight, …
Attention Mechanism Enhanced Kernel Prediction Networks for Denoising of Burst Images
Deep learning based image denoising methods have been extensively investigated. In this paper, attention mechanism enhanced kernel prediction networks (AME-KPNs) are proposed for burst image denoising, in which, nearly c…
