Research Focus

Established in 2012, the Rapid-Rich Object Search (ROSE) Lab conducts research in the areas of computer vision, image processing, and pattern recognition. Much of our work involves the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning approaches, as well as domain generalisation and optimization approaches.

 

Object Recognition & Retrieval:

To enable rapid and rich mobile object search with constrained network and computational resources, compact and innovative feature coding, scalable indexing and visual search algorithms are necessary. Topics include object classification, recognition, & retrieval; fashion recommendation. Applications are mainly in the digital advertising, eCommerce, and social media domains.

 Research projects include:
  • Visual Object Search
  • Product Search
  • Landmark Search
Deep Learning & Video Analytics:

This area of research focuses on the use of traditional as well as machine learning (in particular, deep learning) approaches for video analytics. Topics include anomaly detection, pedestrian detection, person re-identification, object tracking, and action recognition. Applications are mainly in the security and surveillance domains.

 Research projects include:
  • Action Recognition
  • Person Re-Identification
  • People & Object Tracking
  • Visual Anomaly Detection
  • Mobile Visual Search
Multimedia Forensics Biometrics:

This area of research focuses on biometrics for image and video forensics application. Topics include biometrics & soft biometrics, face spoofing & liveness detection, and reflection removal.

Research projects include:
  • Face Recognition
  • Face Liveness Detection
Datasets:

While some parts of our database is confidential, we do have the following datasets that are available for download upon request.
