Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Visual Object Tracking Segmentation VOTS2023 challenge is the eleventh annual tracker benchmarking activity of the VOT initiative. This challenge is the first to merge short-term and long-term as well as single-target and multiple-target tracking with segmentation masks as the only target location specification. A new dataset was created; the ground truth has been withheld to prevent overfitting. New performance measures and evaluation protocols have been created along with a new toolkit and an evaluation server. Results of the presented 47 trackers indicate that modern tracking frameworks are well-suited to deal with convergence of short-term and long-term tracking and that multiple and single target tracking can be considered a single problem. A leaderboard, with participating trackers details, the source code, the datasets, and the evaluation kit are publicly available at the challenge website1

The Visual Object Tracking VOT2017 challenge results
- 2017
-
In: 2017 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER VISION WORKSHOPS (ICCVW 2017). - : IEEE. - 9781538610343 ; , s. 1949-1972
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Visual Object Tracking challenge VOT2017 is the fifth annual tracker benchmarking activity organized by the VOT initiative. Results of 51 trackers are presented; many are state-of-the-art published at major computer vision conferences or journals in recent years. The evaluation included the standard VOT and other popular methodologies and a new "real-time" experiment simulating a situation where a tracker processes images as if provided by a continuously running sensor. Performance of the tested trackers typically by far exceeds standard baselines. The source code for most of the trackers is publicly available from the VOT page. The VOT2017 goes beyond its predecessors by (i) improving the VOT public dataset and introducing a separate VOT2017 sequestered dataset, (ii) introducing a realtime tracking experiment and (iii) releasing a redesigned toolkit that supports complex experiments. The dataset, the evaluation kit and the results are publicly available at the challenge website(1).

Dielectric and Plasmon Slot Waveguides for Photonic Integration
- 2009
-
In: ICTON 2009: 11th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks. - NEW YORK : IEEE. ; , s. 653-656
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Slot waveguides formed either in high-index dielectrics or in metals attract great interest because they provide sub-wavelength confinement in the slot region. While this feature is very attractive for devices relying on stimulated emission or nonlinear effects, it does not necessarily improve the integration density. The spacing between dielectric slot waveguides is still limited by diffraction. Although for metal (plasmon) waveguides the total field can be shrunk far beyond the diffraction limit, the associated increase in propagation loss will set practical limits on both the minimum waveguide width and edge-to-edge separation. Here we compare the packing densities for 3D slot waveguides in silicon and plasmon waveguides in gold with a silicon slot. As a reference we also consider silicon photonic wire. We calculate center-to-center waveguide separations (pitch) versus cross-talk level. We show that at ca 24 dB/mu m cross-talk and requiring the attenuation length of at least 5 mu m, plasmon slot waveguides can be packed ca 3.5 times denser than silicon slot waveguides, and ca 2.5 times denser than photonic wires. We also show examples of the fabricated devices.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Visual Object Tracking challenge VOT2018 is the sixth annual tracker benchmarking activity organized by the VOT initiative. Results of over eighty trackers are presented; many are state-of-the-art trackers published at major computer vision conferences or in journals in the recent years. The evaluation included the standard VOT and other popular methodologies for short-term tracking analysis and a “real-time” experiment simulating a situation where a tracker processes images as if provided by a continuously running sensor. A long-term tracking subchallenge has been introduced to the set of standard VOT sub-challenges. The new subchallenge focuses on long-term tracking properties, namely coping with target disappearance and reappearance. A new dataset has been compiled and a performance evaluation methodology that focuses on long-term tracking capabilities has been adopted. The VOT toolkit has been updated to support both standard short-term and the new long-term tracking subchallenges. Performance of the tested trackers typically by far exceeds standard baselines. The source code for most of the trackers is publicly available from the VOT page. The dataset, the evaluation kit and the results are publicly available at the challenge website (http://votchallenge.net).

Silicon-Based Integrated Multiplexers for WDM Systems
- 2009
-
In: ICTON: 2009 11TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TRANSPARENT OPTICAL NETWORKS. - NEW YORK : IEEE. - 9781424448258 ; , s. 1267-1270

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Wavelength Division Multiplexing systems use multiplexers and demultiplexers to increase network capacity by allowing several information channels to be placed into one fiber. Depending on the application multiplexers and demultiplexers can have wide, coarse or dense channel spacing as well as different number of channels that they process. There are many techniques available today for realization of these passive, wavelength selective components including: thin film filters, Bragg gratings, arrayed waveguide gratings and echelle gratings. The last two solutions appear to be most suitable for wafer scale mass production. Silicon-based technology additionally allows for a high level of integration and compatibility with CMOS processing. Here we discuss issues related to different solutions and fabrication technologies and compare two of them based on planar lightwave circuits. We will illustrate with designed and fabricated components for different applications.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Depending on the application in optical communication systems different wavelength division multiplexing devices are used to increase network capacity by allowing several wavelength channels to be transmitted by one fiber, to add or drop different wavelength channels or to separate or put together channels carrying different services. Depending on the application such devices can have wide, coarse or dense channel spacing. Furthermore they can handle different number of channels. In this paper we present some of such devices, their functionality, structures and fabrication technologies.

Silicon-on-insulator nanopillar-array optical sensor
- 2011
-
In: Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE. - : SPIE - International Society for Optical Engineering. - 9780819484451
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Pillar-array based optical cavities have unique properties, e.g., having a large and connected low dielectric index space (normally air space), having a large percent of electric field energy in air and standing on a substrate. These properties make them well suitable to make ultra compact and highly sensitive label-free optical sensors to detect bio-/chemical reactions. We designed, fabricated, and measured a silicon-on-insulator pillar array microcavity that possesses a quality factor as high as 27,600. We studied its sensitivity for both bulk index change and surface index modification. As a bulk index sensor, for environmental refractive index change of 0.01, a resonance peak wavelength shift of 3.5 nm was measured. As a surface index sensor, the simulations show, for a coating with thickness of 1 nm, the resonance wavelength shifts as large as 2.86 nm. Combining with a sharp 0.06 nm wide resonance peak, our pillar-array sensor is able to resolve ultra small bulk and surface refractive index changes caused by target molecules.
