Decoupled Single-Mask Annotation Noise Detection via Cross-Sectional Patch Self-ConsistencyYinheng Zhu, Xiaowei Xu
Vascular computed tomography datasets are commonly annotated only once per scan, yielding the pervasive yet under addressed problem of single mask annotation noise. Existing solutions either require costly multirater fusion or are coupled with network training, preventing explicit auditing of where and why labels fail. We introduce a decoupled framework for single-mask annotation noise detection that leverages cross-sectional patch self-consistency to produce interpretable and auditable noise evidence. Tubular anatomy exhibits strong cross-sectional recurrence: patches extracted orthogonally along vessel centrelines recur in appearance across locations and subjects. Thus, anatomically similar patches should have consistent masks, and disagreement signals unreliable annotation. Our method samples cross-sectional patches, retrieves intensity-equivalent neighbours via scalable vector search, and computes a patch-level noise score from statistical mask disagreement, yielding explicit image-mask evidence for every flagged region. Aggregating scores produces scan-level quality maps for dataset quality assessment or quality-weighted training. Experiments on the coronary CT dataset validate the detected noise for improving training robustness and reveal systematic annotation biases. Specifically, transverse and oblique vessels exhibit 5.1 times higher error rates than axis-aligned structures, with additional correlations to cross-sectional area and intensity. Code is available here.

PANDA: A Gigapixel-level Human-centric Video DatasetXueyang Wang, Xiya Zhang, Yinheng Zhu et al.
We present PANDA, the first gigaPixel-level humAN-centric viDeo dAtaset, for large-scale, long-term, and multi-object visual analysis. The videos in PANDA were captured by a gigapixel camera and cover real-world scenes with both wide field-of-view (~1 square kilometer area) and high-resolution details (~gigapixel-level/frame). The scenes may contain 4k head counts with over 100x scale variation. PANDA provides enriched and hierarchical ground-truth annotations, including 15,974.6k bounding boxes, 111.8k fine-grained attribute labels, 12.7k trajectories, 2.2k groups and 2.9k interactions. We benchmark the human detection and tracking tasks. Due to the vast variance of pedestrian pose, scale, occlusion and trajectory, existing approaches are challenged by both accuracy and efficiency. Given the uniqueness of PANDA with both wide FoV and high resolution, a new task of interaction-aware group detection is introduced. We design a 'global-to-local zoom-in' framework, where global trajectories and local interactions are simultaneously encoded, yielding promising results. We believe PANDA will contribute to the community of artificial intelligence and praxeology by understanding human behaviors and interactions in large-scale real-world scenes.

Head Mounted Pupil Tracking Using Convolutional Neural NetworkYinheng Zhu, Wanli Chen, Xun Zhan et al.
Pupil tracking is an important branch of object tracking which require high precision. We investigate head mounted pupil tracking which is often more convenient and precise than remote pupil tracking, but also more challenging. When pupil tracking suffers from noise like bad illumination, detection precision dramatically decreases. Due to the appearance of head mounted recording device and public benchmark image datasets, head mounted tracking algorithms have become easier to design and evaluate. In this paper, we propose a robust head mounted pupil detection algorithm which uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to combine different features of pupil. Here we consider three features of pupil. Firstly, we use three pupil feature-based algorithms to find pupil center independently. Secondly, we use a CNN to evaluate the quality of each result. Finally, we select the best result as output. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithm performs better than the present state-of-art.
