Abstract:

In many vision problems, wewant to infer two #or more # hidden factors which interact to produce our observations. We may want to disentangle illuminant and object colors in color constancy; rendering conditions from surface shape in shape-from-shading; face identity and head pose in face recognition; or font and letter class in character recognition. We refer to these two factors generically as #style " and #content". Bilinear models o#er a powerful framework for extracting the two-factor structure of a set of observations, and are familiar in computational vision from several well-known lines of research. This paper shows how bilinear models can be used to learn the style-content structure of a pattern analysis or synthesis problem, which can then be generalized to solve related tasks using di#erentstyles and#or content. We focus on three kinds of tasks: extrapolating the style of data to unseen content classes, classifying data with known content under a novel style, and translating two sets of data, generated in di#erentstyles and with distinct content, into each other's styles. We show examples from color constancy, face pose estimation, shape-from-shading, typography and speech.
