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…
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,…
Challenging the dogma of Relevance Feedback in Content based Image Retrieval Systems with Deep Learning May, 2018 at 3:00 pm in Smart Room 9-105 SBASSE. Abstract Association of images to their content based similar images in a database, is quite a fascinating challenge specially on social media platform where billions of tagged and untagged images…
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…
Shehryar Malik, Muhammad Umair Haider*, Omer Iqbal, Murtaza Taj Abstract: Network pruning reduces the size of neural networks by removing (pruning) neurons such that the performance drop is minimal. Traditional pruning approaches focus on designing metrics to quantify the usefulness of a neuron which is often quite tedious and sub-optimal. More recent approaches have instead…
Arif Mahmood successfully defended his Ph.D. at Lahore University of Management Sciences in May 2011. Dr. Mahmood’s research interests broadly span the areas of image processing and computer vision. More specifically, he is interested in optimization of image processing algorithms from computational perspective. He worked on fast image matching techniques and developed new bound based…
