With the ubiquitous use of mobile imaging devices, the collection of perishable disaster-scene data has become unprecedentedly easy. However, computing methods are unable to understand these images with significant complexity and uncertainties. In this paper, the authors investigate the problem of disaster-scene understanding through a deep-learning approach. Two attributes of images are concerned, including hazard types and damage levels. Three deep-learning models are trained, and their performance is assessed. Specifically, the best model for hazard-type prediction has an overall accuracy (OA) of 90.1%, and the best damage-level classification model has an explainable OA of 62.6%, upon which both models adopt the Faster R-CNN architecture with a ResNet50 network as a feature extractor. It is concluded that hazard types are more identifiable than damage levels in disaster-scene images. Insights are revealed, including that damage-level recognition suffers more from inter- and intra-class variations, and the treatment of hazard-agnostic damage leveling further contributes to the underlying uncertainties.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> This work proposes an approach for semantic classification of an outdoor-scene point cloud acquired with a high precision Mobile Mapping System (MMS), with major goal to contribute to the automatic creation of High Definition (HD) Maps. The automatic point labeling is achieved by utilizing the combination of a feature-based approach for semantic classification of point clouds and a deep learning approach for semantic segmentation of images. Both, point cloud data, as well as the data from a multi-camera system are used for gaining spatial information in an urban scene. Two types of classification applied for this task are: 1) Feature-based approach, in which the point cloud is organized into a supervoxel structure for capturing geometric characteristics of points. Several geometric features are then extracted for appropriate representation of the local geometry, followed by removing the effect of local tendency for each supervoxel to enhance the distinction between similar structures. And lastly, the Random Forests (RF) algorithm is applied in the classification phase, for assigning labels to supervoxels and therefore to points within them. 2) The deep learning approach is employed for semantic segmentation of MMS images of the same scene. To achieve this, an implementation of Pyramid Scene Parsing Network is used. Resulting segmented images with each pixel containing a class label are then projected onto the point cloud, enabling label assignment for each point. At the end, experiment results are presented from a complex urban scene and the performance of this method is evaluated on a manually labeled dataset, for the deep learning and feature-based classification individually, as well as for the result of the labels fusion. The achieved overall accuracy with fusioned output is 0.87 on the final test set, which significantly outperforms the results of individual methods on the same point cloud. The labeled data is published on the TUM-PF Semantic-Labeling-Benchmark.</p>

Abstract. This paper proposes a fused 3D transparent visualization method with the aim of achieving see-through imaging of large-scale cultural heritage by combining photogrammetry point cloud data and 3D reconstructed models. 3D reconstructed models are efficiently reconstructed from a single monocular photo using deep learning. It is demonstrated that the proposed method can be widely applied, particularly to instances of incomplete cultural heritages. In this study, the proposed method is applied to a typical example, the Borobudur temple in Indonesia. The Borobudur temple possesses the most complete collection of Buddhist reliefs. However, some parts of the Borobudur reliefs have been hidden by stone walls and became not visible following the reinforcements during the Dutch rule. Today, only gray-scale monocular photos of those hidden parts are displayed in the Borobudur Museum. In this paper, the visible parts of the temple are first digitized into point cloud data by photogrammetry scanning. For the hidden parts, a 3D reconstruction method based on deep learning is proposed to reconstruct the invisible parts into point cloud data directly from single monocular photos from the museum. The proposed 3D reconstruction method achieves 95% accuracy of the reconstructed point cloud on average. With the point cloud data of both the visible parts and the hidden parts, the proposed transparent visualization method called the stochastic point-based rendering is applied to achieve a fused 3D transparent visualization of the valuable temple.

Abstract. Objects and structures realized by connecting and bending wires are common in modern architecture, furniture design, metal sculpting, etc. The 3D reconstruction of such objects with traditional range- or image-based methods is very difficult and poses challenges due to their unique characteristics such as repeated structures, slim elements, holes, lack of features, self-occlusions, etc. Complete 3D models of such complex structures are normally reconstructed with lots of manual intervention as automated processes fail in providing detailed and accurate 3D reconstruction results.This paper presents the image-based 3D reconstruction of the Shukhov hyperboloid tower in Moscow, a wire structure built in 1922, composed of a series of hyperboloid sections stacked one to another to approximate an overall conical shape. A deep learning approach for image segmentation was developed in order to robustly detect wire structures in images and provide the basis for accurate corresponding problem solutions. The developed WireNet convolution neural network (CNN) model has been used to aid the multi-view stereo (MVS) process and to improve robustness and accuracy of the image-based 3D reconstruction approach, otherwise not feasible without masking the images automatically.

This paper presents a deep learning benchmark on a complex dataset known as KFUPM Handwritten Arabic TexT (KHATT). The KHATT data-set consists of complex patterns of handwritten Arabic text-lines. This paper contributes mainly in three aspects i.e., (1) pre-processing, (2) deep learning based approach, and (3) data-augmentation. The pre-processing step includes pruning of white extra spaces plus de-skewing the skewed text-lines. We deploy a deep learning approach based on Multi-Dimensional Long Short-Term Memory (MDLSTM) networks and Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC). The MDLSTM has the advantage of scanning the Arabic text-lines in all directions (horizontal and vertical) to cover dots, diacritics, strokes and fine inflammation. The data-augmentation with a deep learning approach proves to achieve better and promising improvement in results by gaining 80.02% Character Recognition (CR) over 75.08% as baseline.
