Generative Model-Assisted Demosaicing for Cross-multispectral Cameras

As a crucial part of the spectral filter array (SFA)-based multispectral imaging process, spectral demosaicing has exploded with the proliferation of deep learning techniques. However, (1) bothering by the difficulty of capturing corresponding labels for real data or simulating the practical spectral imaging process, end-to-end networks trained in a supervised manner using simulated data often perform poorly on real data. (2) cross-camera spectral discrepancies make it difficult to apply pre-trained models to new cameras. (3) existing demosaicing networks are prone to introducing visual artifacts on hard cases due to the interpolation of unknown values. To address these issues, we propose a hybrid supervised training method with the assistance of the self-supervised generative model, which performs well on real data across different spectral cameras. Specifically, our approach consists of three steps: (1) Pre-Training step: training the end-to-end neural network on a large amount of simulated data; (2) Pseudo-Pairing step: generating pseudo-labels of real target data using the self-supervised generative model; (3) Fine-Tuning step: fine-tuning the pre-trained model on the pseudo data pairs obtained in (2). To alleviate artifacts, we propose a frequency-domain hard patch selection method that identifies artifact-prone regions by analyzing spectral discrepancies using Fourier transform and filtering techniques, allowing targeted fine-tuning to enhance demosaicing performance. Finally, we propose UniSpecTest, a real-world multispectral mosaic image dataset for testing. Ablation experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of each training step, and extensive experiments on both synthetic and real datasets show that our method achieves significant performance gains compared to state-of-the-art techniques.

Two-stream Multi-level Dynamic Point Transformer for Two-person Interaction Recognition

As a fundamental aspect of human life, two-person interactions contain meaningful information about people's activities, relationships, and social settings. Human action recognition serves as the foundation for many smart applications, with a strong focus on personal privacy. However, recognizing two-person interactions poses more challenges due to increased body occlusion and overlap compared to single-person actions. In this paper, we propose a point cloud-based network named Two-stream Multi-level Dynamic Point Transformer for two-person interaction recognition. Our model addresses the challenge of recognizing two-person interactions by incorporating local-region spatial information, appearance information, and motion information. To achieve this, we introduce a designed frame selection method named Interval Frame Sampling (IFS), which efficiently samples frames from videos, capturing more discriminative information in a relatively short processing time. Subsequently, a frame features learning module and a two-stream multi-level feature aggregation module extract global and partial features from the sampled frames, effectively representing the local-region spatial information, appearance information, and motion information related to the interactions. Finally, we apply a transformer to perform self-attention on the learned features for the final classification. Extensive experiments are conducted on two large-scale datasets, the interaction subsets of NTU RGB+D 60 and NTU RGB+D 120. The results show that our network outperforms state-of-the-art approaches across all standard evaluation settings.
