Learning Socio-economic Indicators from Remote Sensing Data Thursday 12 Sep, 2019 at 03:30 am in CS Smart Room 9-105 SBASSE. Abstract Progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is hampered by a persistent lack of data regarding key social, environmental, and economic indicators, particularly in developing countries. For example, data on poverty and slavery,…

Summer Internships 2019

Content Based Image Retrieval Using Hand Crafted Features Asim Waheed, Khawaja Umair Ul Hassan The project involved solving the Cross-View image matching problem between Satellite view images and Street view images. Many hand-crafted features were calculated, such as Histogram, HOG, Bag of Visual Words and VLAD using SIFT and SURF descriptors. The compiled features would…

ICIAP 2019 – Dimensionality Reduction Using Discriminative Autoencoders for Remote Sensing Image Retrieval

Mohbat, Tooba Mukhtar, Numan Khurshid, and Murtaza Taj International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICAIP), Trento, Itlay, September 9-13, 2019 Abstract Advancements in deep learning techniques caused a paradigm shift in feature extraction for image perception from handcrafted methods to deep methods. However, these deep features if learned through unsupervised methods bear large memory…

NCA2021 – Statistically Correlated Multi-task Learning for Autonomous Driving

Waseem Abbas, M. Fakhir Khan, Murtaza Taj, and Arif Mahmood Abstract Autonomous driving research is an emerging domain in computer vision and machine learning areas. Most existing methods perform Single Task Learning (STL) from one or more images while Multi-Task Learning (MTL) is more efficient due to the leverage of shared information between different tasks….

CVPRW2019 – Tiny-Inception-ResNet-v2: Using Deep Learning for Eliminating Bonded Labors of Brick Kilns in South Asia

Usman Nazir, Numan Khurshid, Muhammad Ahmed Bhimra, Murtaza Taj International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Long Beach, CA, USA, June 16-21, 2019 Abstract This paper proposes to employ a Inception-ResNet inspired deep learning architecture called Tiny-Inception-ResNet-v2 to eliminate bonded labor by identifying brick kilns within “Brick-Kiln-Belt” of South Asia. The framework is developed…

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Landuse-Landcover Change Using Satellite Imagery Thursday 28 Feb, 2019 at 10:00 am in Smart Room 9-105 SBASSE. Abstract We propose an approach to recognize large scale, rapid spatio-temporal analysis of satellite remote sensing data. This technique can be used to measure longitudinal changes and yearly changes. Most of the existing methods either…

ICASSP 2019 – Using 3D Residual Network For Spatio-Temporal Analysis Of Remote Sensing Data

Muhammad Ahmed Bhimra, Usman Nazir, Murtaza Taj International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), Brighton, UK, May 12-17, 2019 Abstract In this paper, we propose an approach to recognize spatio-temporal changes from remote sensing data. Instead of performing independent analysis on each instance of satellite imagery, we proposed a 3D Convolutional Neural Network…

Deep Learning

Deep Learning is a hierarchical learning methodology based on artificial neural networks which are algorithms inspired by the structure and function of the brain. It has applications in wide-range of industries these days such as face-recognisers working at massive scales, robotics, speech translation, text analysis, improving customer experience, autonomous vehicles etc. In this course we…
