This comprehensive text/reference presents a broad review of diverse domain adaptation (DA) methods for machine learning, with a focus on solutions for visual applications. The book collects together solutions and perspectives proposed by an international selection of pre-eminent experts in the field, addressing not only classical image categorization, but also other computer vision tasks such as detection, segmentation and visual attributes. Topics and features: Surveys the complete field of visual DA, including shallow methods designed for homogeneous and heterogeneous data as well as deep architecturesPresents a positioning of the dataset bias in the CNN-based feature arenaProposes detailed analyses of popular shallow methods that addresses landmark data selection, kernel embedding, feature alignment, joint feature transformation and classifier adaptation, or the case of limited access to the source dataDiscusses more recent deep DA methods, including discrepancy-based adaptation networks and adversarial discriminative DA modelsAddresses domain adaptation problems beyond image categorization, such as a Fisher encoding adaptation for vehicle re-identification, semantic segmentation and detection trained on synthetic images, and domain generalization for semantic part detectionDescribes a multi-source domain generalization technique for visual attributes and a unifying framework for multi-domain and multi-task learning This authoritative volume will be of great interest to a broad audience ranging from researchers and practitioners, to students involved in computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning. Dr. Gabriela Csurka is a Senior Scientist in the Computer Vision Team at Xerox Research Centre Europe, Meylan, France.

The first book focused on domain adaptation for visual applications Provides a comprehensive experimental study, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of popular methods, and introducing new and more challenging datasets Presents an historical overview of research in this area Covers such tasks as object detection, image segmentation and video application, where the need for domain adaptation has been rarely addressed by the community Considers real-world, industrial applications, and solutions for cases where existing methods might not be applicable Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
