The proposed framework achieves matching of partial shapes in images that exhibit extreme variations in scale, orientation, viewpoint and illumination and also instances of occlusion; conditions which render impractical the use of global contour-based descriptors or local pixel-level features for shape matching. The proposed technique is based on optimization of the embedding distances of geometric features obtained from the eigenspectrum of the joint image graph, coupled with regularization over values of the mean pixel intensity or histogram of oriented gradients. It is shown to obtain successfully the correspondences denoting partial shape similarities as well as correspondences between feature points in the images. A new benchmark dataset is proposed which contains disparate image pairs with extremely challenging variations in viewing conditions when compared to an existing dataset [18]. The proposed technique is shown to significantly outperform several state-of-the-art partial shape matching techniques on both datasets.}, language = {en} } @misc{JoachimskyAmbellanZachow2017, author = {Joachimsky, Robert and Ambellan, Felix and Zachow, Stefan}, title = {Computerassistierte Auswahl und Platzierung von interpositionalen Spacern zur Behandlung fr{\"u}her Gonarthrose}, issn = {1438-0064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-66064}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Degenerative Gelenkerkrankungen, wie die Osteoarthrose, sind ein h{\"a}ufiges Krankheitsbild unter {\"a}lteren Erwachsenen.

For this, we employ deep learning approaches that solely rely on frame-wise visual information, instead of using additional signals or handcrafted features. While previous work has mainly focused on tool presence and temporal information for this task, we reason that additional global information about the context of a frame might benefit the phase detection task. We propose novel deep learning architectures: a convolutional neural network (CNN) based model for the tool detection task only, called Clf-Net, as well as a model which performs joint (context) feature learning and tool classification to incorporate information about the context, which we name Context-Clf-Net. For the phase detection task lower-dimensional feature vectors are extracted, which are used as input to recurrent neural networks in order to enforce temporal constraints. We compare the performance of an online model, which only considers previous frames up to the current time step, to that of an offline model that has access to past and future information. Experimental results indicate that the tool detection task benefits strongly from the introduction of context information, as we outperform both Clf-Net results and stateof-the-art methods. Regarding the phase detection task our results do not surpass state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, no improvement of using features learned by the Context-Clf-Net is observed in the phase detection task for both online and offline versions}, language = {en} }
