Abstract Image captioning is an emerging field in machine learning. It refers to the ability to automatically generate a syntactically and semantically meaningful sentence that describes the content of an image. Image captioning requires a complex machine learning process as it involves two sub models: a vision sub-model for extracting object features and a language sub-model that use the extracted features to generate meaningful captions. Attention-based vision transformers models have a great impact in vision field recently. In this paper, we studied the effect of using the vision transformers on the image captioning process by evaluating… More >

Abstract Recently, image representations derived by convolutional neural networks (CNN) have achieved promising performance for instance retrieval, and they outperform the traditional hand-crafted image features. However, most of existing CNN-based features are proposed to describe the entire images, and thus they are less robust to background clutter. This paper proposes a region of interest (RoI)-based deep convolutional representation for instance retrieval. It first detects the region of interests (RoIs) from an image, and then extracts a set of RoI-based CNN features from the fully-connected layer of CNN. The proposed RoI-based CNN feature describes the patterns of More >
