Nielsen and Oxford Researchers Accelerate AI-Powered Image Recognition of Products in Stores
Nielsen (NLSN) and the University of Oxford today announced a two-year collaboration to advance the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and classify consumer packaged goods (CPG) products on shelves in retail stores. Facilitated between Nielsen's Image Recognition group and the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) at the University of Oxford, this partnership brings together the world's largest pool of product reference data with industry-leading brainpower around AI technology to yield greater accuracy in product identification and discovery. Through this partnership, Nielsen is working directly with University of Oxford Professors Andrew Zisserman and Andrea Vedaldi (Department of Engineering Science), world-renowned computer scientists and pioneers in image recognition and AI research. Zisserman, Vedaldi and their team of research scientists will work together with Nielsen to more precisely and quickly identify and classify in-store products based on product images captured through Nielsen's eCollection solution. The Oxford researchers will focus on building and enhancing the eCollection algorithms with increasingly advanced deep learning capabilities, enabling a more automatic detection of store products, promotions and prices without the need for manual intervention.
Illegible Text to Readable Text: An Image-to-Image Transformation using Conditional Sliced Wasserstein Adversarial Networks
Karimi, Mostafa, Veni, Gopalkrishna, Yu, Yen-Yun
Automatic text recognition from ancient handwritten record images is an important problem in the genealogy domain. However, critical challenges such as varying noise conditions, vanishing texts, and variations in handwriting make the recognition task difficult. We tackle this problem by developing a handwritten-to-machine-print conditional Generative Adversarial network (HW2MP-GAN) model that formulates handwritten recognition as a text-Image-to-text-Image translation problem where a given image, typically in an illegible form, is converted into another image, close to its machine-print form. The proposed model consists of three-components including a generator, and word-level and character-level discriminators. The model incorporates Sliced Wasserstein distance (SWD) and U-Net architectures in HW2MP-GAN for better quality image-to-image transformation. Our experiments reveal that HW2MP-GAN outperforms state-of-the-art baseline cGAN models by almost 30 in Frechet Handwritten Distance (FHD), 0.6 on average Levenshtein distance and 39% in word accuracy for image-to-image translation on IAM database. Further, HW2MP-GAN improves handwritten recognition word accuracy by 1.3% compared to baseline handwritten recognition models on the IAM database.
The Seven Patterns Of AI
From autonomous vehicles, predictive analytics applications, facial recognition, to chatbots, virtual assistants, cognitive automation, and fraud detection, the use cases for AI are many. However, regardless of the application of AI, there is commonality to all these applications. Those who have implemented hundreds or even thousands of AI projects realize that despite all this diversity in application, AI use cases fall into one or more of seven common patterns. The seven patterns are: hyperpersonalization, autonomous systems, predictive analytics and decision support, conversational/human interactions, patterns and anomalies, recognition systems, and goal-driven systems. Any customized approach to AI is going to require its own programming and pattern, but no matter what combination these trends are used in, they all follow their own pretty standard set of rules.
GumGum, Using Image Recognition Technology for Online Advertising - The Business Mogul Lifestyle Magazine
Currently, the digital media is in a transitional phase, where the format of the medium is changing from text-based to one with visuals. Due to this significant shift, advertising has to play catch up, to stay up-to-date with the latest trends the industry. On top of that, the marketing industry has to deal with ad-blockers, which blocks out intrusive advertisements. According to a study done by PageFair, there are at least 615 million devices that use Adblock regularly. As you can imagine, getting through these ad-blockers is an uphill task, because they keep disruptive advertisements at bay.
Image Registration: From SIFT to Deep Learning
Image registration is the process of transforming different images of one scene into the same coordinate system. These images can be taken at different times (multi-temporal registration), by different sensors (multi-modal registration), and/or from different viewpoints. The spatial relationships between these images can be rigid (translations and rotations), affine (shears for example), homographies, or complex large deformations models. Image registration has a wide variety of applications: it is essential as soon as the task at hand requires comparing multiple images of the same scene. It is very common in the field of medical imagery, as well as for satellite image analysis and optical flow. In this article, we will focus on a few different ways to perform image registration between a reference image and a sensed image.
TraffickCam: Explainable Image Matching For Sex Trafficking Investigations
Stylianou, Abby, Souvenir, Richard, Pless, Robert
Investigations of sex trafficking sometimes have access to photographs of victims in hotel rooms. These images directly link victims to places, which can help verify where victims have been trafficked or where traffickers might operate in the future. Current machine learning approaches give promising results in image search to find the matching hotel. This paper explores approaches to make this end-to-end system better support government and law enforcement requirements, including improved performance, visualization approaches that explain what parts of the image led to a match, and infrastructure to support exporting the results of a query.
Patterns of Urban Foot Traffic Dynamics
Dobler, Gregory, Vani, Jordan, Dam, Trang Tran Linh
Using publicly available traffic camera data in New York City, we quantify time-dependent patterns in aggregate pedestrian foot traffic. These patterns exhibit repeatable diurnal behaviors that differ for weekdays and weekends but are broadly consistent across neighborhoods in the borough of Manhattan. Weekday patterns contain a characteristic 3-peak structure with increased foot traffic around 9:00am, 12:00-1:00pm, and 5:00pm aligned with the "9-to-5" work day in which pedestrians are on the street during their morning commute, during lunch hour, and then during their evening commute. Weekend days do not show a peaked structure, but rather increase steadily until sunset. Our study period of June 28, 2017 to September 11, 2017 contains two holidays, the 4th of July and Labor Day, and their foot traffic patterns are quantitatively similar to weekend days despite the fact that they fell on weekdays. Projecting all days in our study period onto the weekday/weekend phase space (by regressing against the average weekday and weekend day) we find that Friday foot traffic can be represented as a mixture of both the 3-peak weekday structure and non-peaked weekend structure. We also show that anomalies in the foot traffic patterns can be used for detection of events and network-level disruptions. Finally, we show that clustering of foot traffic time series generates associations between cameras that are spatially aligned with Manhattan neighborhood boundaries indicating that foot traffic dynamics encode information about neighborhood character.
FoodAI: Food Image Recognition via Deep Learning for Smart Food Logging
An important aspect of health monitoring is effective logging of food consumption. This can help management of diet-related diseases like obesity, diabetes, and even cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, food logging can help fitness enthusiasts, and people who wanting to achieve a target weight. However, food-logging is cumbersome, and requires not only taking additional effort to note down the food item consumed regularly, but also sufficient knowledge of the food item consumed (which is difficult due to the availability of a wide variety of cuisines). With increasing reliance on smart devices, we exploit the convenience offered through the use of smart phones and propose a smart-food logging system: FoodAI, which offers state-of-the-art deep-learning based image recognition capabilities.
