ICASSP 2019 – Adaptively Weighted Multi-Task Learning Using Inverse Validation Loss

Waseem Abbas and Murtaza Taj International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), Brighton, UK, May 12-17, 2019 Abstract Multi-task learning aims to enhance the performance of a model by inductive transfer of information among tasks. However, joint optimization of multiple tasks is challenging due to unbalanced data ranges and variations in task difficulties…

CGI 2016 – Coarse-to-fine model fitting on point cloud

Reema Bajwa, Syed Rizwan Gilani, Murtaza Taj Short Paper Proceedings of the 33rd Computer Graphics International, Heraklion, Greece, June 28 – July 1, 2016 Abstract We present a coarse-to-fine model fitting approach that automatically generates a detailed CAD like model from a point cloud. We first developed a library of detailed parametric models for each…

ICIP 2012 – Interaction Recognition in Wide Areas Using Audiovisual Sensors

Murtaza Taj, Andrea Cavallaro International Conference on Image Processing, ICIP 2012 Abstract We present an event recognition framework to detect interactions among objects, for example people, using a network of cameras and associated microphone pairs. The complementarity of the video and audio modalities is exploited to cover wide areas. In particular, object movements in portions of the scene that…

ICCV 2011 – Multiview Structure from Motion in Trajectory Space

Aamer Zaheer, Ijaz Akhter, Mohammad Haris Baig, Shabbir Marzban, Sohaib Khan International Conference on Computer Vision, ICCV, 2011 Abstract Most nonrigid objects exhibit temporal regularities in their deformations. Recently it was proposed that these regularities can be parameterized by assuming that the non- rigid structure lies in a small dimensional trajectory space. In this paper,…

ICIP 2009 – Early Termination Algorithms for Adaboost Based Detectors

Arif Mahmood, Sohaib Khan 16th International Conference on Image Processing, Cairo, Egypt, Nov 7-10, 2009 Abstract In this paper we propose an early termination algorithm for speeding up the detection phase of the Adaboost based de- tectors. In the basic algorithm, at a specific search location, the AdaBoost ensemble response is computed as monotonic decreasing…

BMVC 2009 – VillageFinder: Segmentation of Nucleated Villages in Satellite Imagery

Kashif Murtaza, Sohaib Khan, Nasir Rajpoot British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC), September 2009 Abstract Geo-spatial data on village locations, their size, population and other parameters is scarcely available to decision makers in many developing countries. In this paper, we demonstrate an automatic “crawler” which can segment nucleated villages from satellite imagery freely available in public…
