Conference Proceeding
Yang, B., Wang, Q., Li, F. W., Liang, X., Wei, T., Zhu, C., …Noh, S. (2022). Aesthetic Enhancement via Color Area and Location Awareness. . https://doi.org/10.2312/pg.20221247

Choosing a suitable color palette can typically improve image aesthetic, where a naive way is choosing harmonious colors from some pre-defined color combinations in color wheels. However, color palettes only consider the usage of color types without... Read More about Aesthetic Enhancement via Color Area and Location Awareness.

Tackling Data Bias in Painting Classification with Style Transfer (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Vijendran, M., Li, F. W., & Shum, H. P. (in press). Tackling Data Bias in Painting Classification with Style Transfer. . https://doi.org/10.5220/0011776600003417

It is difficult to train classifiers on paintings collections due to model bias from domain gaps and data bias from the uneven distribution of artistic styles. Previous techniques like data distillation, traditional data augmentation and style transf... Read More about Tackling Data Bias in Painting Classification with Style Transfer.

STIT: Spatio-Temporal Interaction Transformers for Human-Object Interaction Recognition in Videos (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Almushyti, M., & Li, F. W. (2022). STIT: Spatio-Temporal Interaction Transformers for Human-Object Interaction Recognition in Videos. . https://doi.org/10.1109/icpr56361.2022.9956030

Recognizing human-object interactions is challenging due to their spatio-temporal changes. We propose the SpatioTemporal Interaction Transformer-based (STIT) network to reason such changes. Specifically, spatial transformers learn humans and objects... Read More about STIT: Spatio-Temporal Interaction Transformers for Human-Object Interaction Recognition in Videos.

Geometric Features Informed Multi-person Human-object Interaction Recognition in Videos (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Qiao, T., Men, Q., Li, F. W., Kubotani, Y., Morishima, S., & Shum, H. P. (2022). Geometric Features Informed Multi-person Human-object Interaction Recognition in Videos. . https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-19772-7_28

Human-Object Interaction (HOI) recognition in videos is important for analysing human activity. Most existing work focusing on visual features usually suffer from occlusion in the real-world scenarios. Such a problem will be further complicated when...

Distillation of human–object interaction contexts for action recognition (2022)
Journal Article
Almushyti, M., & Li, F. W. (2022). Distillation of human–object interaction contexts for action recognition. Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds, 33(5), Article e2107. https://doi.org/10.1002/cav.2107

Modeling spatial-temporal relations is imperative for recognizing human actions, especially when a human is interacting with objects, while multiple objects appear around the human differently over time. Most existing action recognition models focus... Read More about Distillation of human–object interaction contexts for action recognition.
