Getting involved

We are trying to find a suitable time each week to hold this. Please enter your details in the following doodle poll and register your interest by sending me an email on djduff@itu.edu.tr.

https://doodle.com/poll/c4k8mpxaxggs7tty

Decision about a time slot during the week will be made as soon as possible after the course registration period.

Note: this reading group is about deep learning as applied to depth estimation from a single image - one of the super hot topics. If your interest is deep learning in general, you may find some of the readings a little bit off-topic. So let me know if you want some idea about which you should read for.

Details

Foley & Maitlin Chapter 6 - Distance & Size Perception

https://books.google.com.tr/books?id=jLBmCgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover Go to Chapter 6.

Because our project is about using machine learning to extract depth from a single image it pays to learn a bit about how humans do it.

Saxena, Min & Ng: Make3D

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=4531745

This is the classic paper that brought machine learning to the problem of depth from a single image, quite successfully, considering previous attempts. It uses Markov Random Fields, which are a bit advanced but, importantly, quite slow.

Michels, Saxena & Ng: High speed obstacle avoidance

http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1102426

Here the same authors focus on a related problem, that of determining open spaces for guiding a vehicle, again using machine learning techniques.

Karsch, Liu & Kang: Depth Transfer

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=5551153

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=6787109

This is a nonparametric approach to depth from a single image. They search a database of images similar to the observed one then warp the image retrieved from the database to estimate the depth of the current image.

LeCun, Bottou, Bengio & Haffner: CNNs

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/726791/

Here is the classic paper applying convolutional neural networks to image processing.

Krizhevsky, Sutskever & Hinton: ImageNet/AlexNet

https://papers.nips.cc/paper/4824-imagenet-classification-with-deep-convolutional-neural-networks.pdf

Here is when convolutional neural networks and deep learning really showed what it could do - the problem of image recognition.

Simonyan & Zisserman: VGG-16

http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.1556

A relatively recent "deep" deep net with 16 layers for image recognition. Note: successful recent networks have one thousand layers.

Eigen, Puhrsch & Fergus: Depth map prediction

https://www.cs.nyu.edu/~deigen/depth/

Finally, we apply deep neural convolutional networks to the problem that we are interested in.

Shelhamer, Long & Darrell: Fully Convolutional Segmentation

http://arxiv.org/abs/1605.06211

Here a related problem is solved, that of semantic segmentation, but this approach is applicable to our problem.

Loffe & Szegedy: Batch Normalization

https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.03167

A recent technique that has enabled powerful new methods and ultimately much deeper neural networks. Important stuff.

He, Zhang, Ren & Sun: ResNets

https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.03385

This work and variations on it have been the basis of the 1000 layer recent neural networks. Important stuff.

Girshick, Donahue, Darrell & Malik: R-CNN

https://arxiv.org/abs/1311.2524

We take a slight seque to check out how tracking has been done recently with neural networks. Note that Faster-RCNN and more recent alternatives use similar principles but do it faster.

Liao, Huang, Wang, Kodagoda, Yu & Liu: Fuse with laser

https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.02174

Here we see an interesting depth-from-single-image sensor fusion with robotics applications.

Giuisti et al.: Forest trails CNN

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7358076/

See also youtube.

Here we have a CNN-based update to the learn-to-navigate-from-images problem addressed by Saxena et al. above.


Cao, Wu & Shen: Fully convolutional depth 1

http://arxiv.org/abs/1605.02305

Here we start a series of recent papers that take different approaches using deep nets to depth from a single image.

Laina et al.: Fully convolutional depth 2

http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.00373

Here we continue a series of recent papers that take different approaches using deep nets to depth from a single image.

Li, Klein & Yao: Fully convolutional depth 3

http://arxiv.org/abs/1607.00730

Here we finalise a series of recent papers that take different approaches using deep nets to depth from a single image.

Luo et al.: Deep Learning + Stereo

Combining deep learning and stereo.

https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~urtasun/publications/luo_etal_cvpr16.pdf

Goodfellow et al.: Generative Adversarial Nets

https://papers.nips.cc/paper/5423-generative-adversarial-nets

Another important recent development that we may make use of.

Dosovitskiy, Springenberg, Tatarchenko & Brox: Generating images

https://arxiv.org/abs/1411.5928

A non-adversarial approach to the same problem.

Oord et al.: Pixel-RNN & Pixel-CNN

https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.06759

Producing distributions over images. We have always intended to do something like this for depth images.

http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.05328

Isola et al. Pix2Pix

https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.07004

We can use this too. And it's cool.
