OVERVIEW

The advent of Deep Learning (DL) in computer vision – since the pioneering work of Hinton [1] in 2012 – changed the perspective of the community, adopting in this way DL as the go-to technique for different computer vision tasks. This emergence is justified by DL’s superior performance on various vision tasks including classification, recognition and image segmentation. However, despite the fact that DL is a powerful tool, there is still a missing gap in understanding its properties, which is not the case with more classical computer vision approaches as they are more tractable, and often offers a clear understanding about how they work.

In this tutorial, we shall draw attention to a new direction that merges the mathematical benefits of classical vision and the powerful performance of deep learning. We will start by introducing the topic and giving an overview of both classic and deep vision perspectives. We will then present a case study of the single image reflection removal problem in which we share solutions coming from the two perspectives. This shall be followed by a discussion of how failure cases - in both perspectives - are related to the modelling hypothesis, and how these failures motivate the need for combined both perspectives. This shall motivate the question - What Is Beyond Deep Learning In Computer Vision? Some open questions related to the topic will also be discussed in the end.
