author={Hakan Bilen and Basura Fernando and Efstratios Gavves and Andrea Vedaldi and Stephen Gould}}
We introduce the concept of dynamic image, a novel compact representation of videos useful in the context of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The dynamic image is based on the rank pooling and is obtained as the parameters of a ranking machine that reconstructs the order of the frames of the video. For dynamic images rank pooling is applied directly at the level of image pixels, in RGB space, producing a vector of parameters that can be interpreted as a single RGB image. This idea is simple but powerful as it is allows applying CNNs pre-trained for still image classification, where supervised data is abundant, to video classification, where supervised data is scarce. We also show how to efficiently approximate rank pooling, speeding it up orders of magnitude, and use this approximation to construct a general-purpose rank pooling CNN layer, genaralizing dynamic images to dynamic feature maps. We demonstrate the power of our new representations on standard benchmarks in action recognition achieving state-of-the-art performance.

title={Discriminative Hierarchical Rank Pooling for Activity Recognition},
author={Basura Fernando and Peter Anderson and Marcus Hutter and Stephen Gould}}
We present hierarchical rank pooling, a video sequence encoding method for activity recognition. It consists of a network of rank pooling functions which captures the dynamics of rich convolutional neural network features within a video sequence. By stacking non-linear feature functions and rank pooling over one another, we obtain a high capacity dynamic encoding mechanism, which can be used for activity recognition. We present a method for jointly learning the video representation and activity classifier parameters. Our method obtains state-of-the art results on three important activity recognition benchmarks: 76.7% on Hollywood2, 66.9% on HMDB51 and, 91.4% on UCF101.

We present a supervised learning to rank algorithm that effectively orders images by exploiting the structure in image sequences especially focusing on image re-ranking applications. Most often in the supervised learning to rank literature, ranking is approached either by analyzing pairs of images or by optimizing a list-wise surrogate loss function on full sequences. In this work we propose MidRank, which learns from moderately sized sub-sequences instead. These sub-sequences contain useful structural ranking information that leads to better learnability during training and better generalization during testing. By exploiting sub-sequences, the proposed MidRank improves ranking accuracy considerably on an extensive array of image re-ranking applications and datasets.

title={Guided Long-Short Term Memory for Image Caption Generation},
author={Xu Jia and Efstratios Gavves and Basura Fernando and Tinne Tuytelaars}}
In this work we focus on the problem of image caption generation. We propose an extension of the long short term memory (LSTM) model, which we coin Guided LSTM or G-LSTM for short. In particular, we add semantic information extracted from the image as extra input to each unit of the LSTM block, with the aim of guiding the model towards solutions that are more tightly coupled to the image content. Additionally, we explore different length normalization strategies for beam search in order to prevent it from favoring short sentences. On various benchmark datasets, we obtain results that are on par with or even outperform the current state-of-the-art.

Project: ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision
Robots are changing the way we live and work. The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision (ACRV) brings together Australia's top researchers in computer vision and robotics to lead the world in robotic vision research. Robotic vision is the key enabling technology that will allow robotics to transform labour-intensive industries, disrupt stagnant markets, and ensure robots become a ubiquitous feature of the modern world.

Project: EU-FP7 AXES: Access to Audiovisual Archives
The goal of AXES is to develop tools that provide various types of
users with new engaging ways to interact with audiovisual libraries, helping
them discover, browse, navigate, search and enrich archives.
In particular, apart from a search-oriented scheme, we will explore how
suggestions for audiovisual content exploration can be generated via a
myriad of information trails crossing the archive. This will be approached
from three perspectives (or axes): users, content, and technology.

Project: BEELDCANON: Providing access to the rich Dutch-Flemish image culture
Images are an essential part of our culture. Thanks to digitization and other technological
innovations it is easier to distribute images. The research project BEELDCANON (Canon Image) wants to
map out 'typical' images from the Flemish and Dutch culture, store them into a database and make the
database easily searchable. Flemish researchers focus on listing buildings, such as the Atomium,
Louvain's town hall or the Cathedral in Antwerp, while their Dutch counterparts focus on typical
landscapes or scenes like the cheese market in Alkmaar and the Dam in Amsterdam.
