- 提出二维曲线的2参数规范参数化族,包含等速参数化。
- 适用于医学图像、物体识别等对称性敏感任务。
计算机视觉与医疗应用中的数据常包含对称性,如物体检测中的旋转与缩放对称性。传统方法依赖数据增强来学习对称性,本文提出一种替代方案:基于主纤维丛截面理论,构建可消除对称性的几何表示框架。该框架在对象空间上使用简单度量,衡量对称群作用下轨道间的差异,并可优化截面以最大化类别分离。方法在物体轮廓数据集上验证,适用于平移、旋转、缩放和重参数化群。特别地,提出一个2参数的曲线规范参数化族,包含等速参数化作为特例。代码与教程笔记已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Most datasets encountered in computer vision and medical applications present symmetries that should be taken into account in classification tasks. A typical example is the symmetry by rotation and/or scaling in object detection. A common way to build neural networks that learn the symmetries is to use data augmentation. In order to avoid data augmentation and build more sustainable algorithms, we present an alternative method to mod out symmetries based on the notion of section of a principal fiber bundle. This framework allows the use of simple metrics on the space of objects in order to measure dissimilarities between orbits of objects under the symmetry group. Moreover, the section used can be optimized to maximize separation of classes. We illustrate this methodology on a dataset of contours of objects for the groups of translations, rotations, scalings and reparameterizations. In particular, we present a $2$-parameter family of canonical parameterizations of curves, containing the constant-speed parameterization as a special case, which we believe is interesting in its own right. We hope that this simple application will serve to convey the geometric concepts underlying this method, which have a wide range of possible applications.
