 Foreword

It was our great pleasure to host the European Conference on Computer Vision 2018 in
Munich, Germany. This constituted by far the largest ECCV event ever. With close to
2,900 registered participants and another 600 on the waiting list one month before the
conference, participation more than doubled since the last ECCV in Amsterdam. We
believe that this is due to a dramatic growth of the computer vision community
combined with the popularity of Munich as a major European hub of culture, science,
and industry. The conference took place in the heart of Munich in the concert hall
Gasteig with workshops and tutorials held at the downtown campus of the Technical
University of Munich.
One of the major innovations for ECCV 2018 was the free perpetual availability of
all conference and workshop papers, which is often referred to as open access. We note
that this is not precisely the same use of the term as in the Budapest declaration. Since
2013, CVPR and ICCV have had their papers hosted by the Computer Vision Foun-
dation (CVF), in parallel with the IEEE Xplore version. This has proved highly ben-
eficial to the computer vision community.
We are delighted to announce that for ECCV 2018 a very similar arrangement was
put in place with the cooperation of Springer. In particular, the author’s final version
will be freely available in perpetuity on a CVF page, while SpringerLink will continue
to host a version with further improvements, such as activating reference links and
including video. We believe that this will give readers the best of both worlds;
researchers who are focused on the technical content will have a freely available
version in an easily accessible place, while subscribers to SpringerLink will continue to
have the additional benefits that this provides. We thank Alfred Hofmann from
Springer for helping to negotiate this agreement, which we expect will continue for
future versions of ECCV.

 Preface

Welcome to the proceedings of the 2018 European Conference on Computer Vision

(ECCV 2018) held in Munich, Germany. We are delighted to present this volume
reflecting a strong and exciting program, the result of an extensive review process. In
total, we received 2,439 valid paper submissions. Of these, 776 were accepted (31.8%):
717 as posters (29.4%) and 59 as oral presentations (2.4%). All oral presentations were
presented as posters as well. The program selection process was complicated this year
by the large increase in the number of submitted papers, +65% over ECCV 2016, and
the use of CMT3 for the first time for a computer vision conference. The program
selection process was supported by four program co-chairs (PCs), 126 area chairs
(ACs), and 1,199 reviewers with reviews assigned.
We were primarily responsible for the design and execution of the review process.
Beyond administrative rejections, we were involved in acceptance decisions only in the
very few cases where the ACs were not able to agree on a decision. As PCs, and as is
customary in the field, we were not allowed to co-author a submission. General
co-chairs and other co-organizers who played no role in the review process were
permitted to submit papers, and were treated as any other author is.
Acceptance decisions were made by two independent ACs. The ACs also made a
joint recommendation for promoting papers to oral status. We decided on the final
selection of oral presentations based on the ACs’ recommendations. There were 126
ACs, selected according to their technical expertise, experience, and geographical
diversity (63 from European, nine from Asian/Australian, and 54 from North American
institutions). Indeed, 126 ACs is a substantial increase in the number of ACs due to the
natural increase in the number of papers and to our desire to maintain the number of
papers assigned to each AC to a manageable number so as to ensure quality. The ACs
were aided by the 1,199 reviewers to whom papers were assigned for reviewing. The
Program Committee was selected from committees of previous ECCV, ICCV, and
CVPR conferences and was extended on the basis of suggestions from the ACs. Having
a large pool of Program Committee members for reviewing allowed us to match
expertise while reducing reviewer loads. No more than eight papers were assigned to a
reviewer, maintaining the reviewers’ load at the same level as ECCV 2016 despite the
increase in the number of submitted papers.
Conflicts of interest between ACs, Program Committee members, and papers were
identified based on the home institutions, and on previous collaborations of all
researchers involved. To find institutional conflicts, all authors, Program Committee
members, and ACs were asked to list the Internet domains of their current institutions.
We assigned on average approximately 18 papers to each AC. The papers were
assigned using the affinity scores from the Toronto Paper Matching System (TPMS)
and additional data from the OpenReview system, managed by a UMass
group. OpenReview used additional information from ACs’ and authors’ records to
identify collaborations and to generate matches. OpenReview was invaluable in
VIII Preface

refining conflict definitions and in generating quality matches. The only glitch is that,
once the matches were generated, a small percentage of papers were unassigned
because of discrepancies between the OpenReview conflicts and the conflicts entered in
CMT3. We manually assigned these papers. This glitch is revealing of the challenge of
using multiple systems at once (CMT3 and OpenReview in this case), which needs to
be addressed in future.
After assignment of papers to ACs, the ACs suggested seven reviewers per paper
from the Program Committee pool. The selection and rank ordering were facilitated by
the TPMS affinity scores visible to the ACs for each paper/reviewer pair. The final
assignment of papers to reviewers was generated again through OpenReview in order
to account for refined conflict definitions. This required new features in the OpenRe-
view matching system to accommodate the ECCV workflow, in particular to incor-
porate selection ranking, and maximum reviewer load. Very few papers received fewer
than three reviewers after matching and were handled through manual assignment.
Reviewers were then asked to comment on the merit of each paper and to make an
initial recommendation ranging from definitely reject to definitely accept, including a
borderline rating. The reviewers were also asked to suggest explicit questions they
wanted to see answered in the authors’ rebuttal. The initial review period was five
weeks. Because of the delay in getting all the reviews in, we had to delay the final
release of the reviews by four days. However, because of the slack included at the tail
end of the schedule, we were able to maintain the decision target date with sufficient
time for all the phases. We reassigned over 100 reviews from 40 reviewers during the
review period. Unfortunately, the main reason for these reassignments was reviewers
declining to review, after having accepted to do so. Other reasons included technical
relevance and occasional unidentified conflicts. We express our thanks to the emer-
gency reviewers who generously accepted to perform these reviews under short notice.
In addition, a substantial number of manual corrections had to do with reviewers using
a different email address than the one that was used at the time of the reviewer
invitation. This is revealing of a broader issue with identifying users by email addresses
that change frequently enough to cause significant problems during the timespan of the
conference process.
The authors were then given the opportunity to rebut the reviews, to identify factual
errors, and to address the specific questions raised by the reviewers over a seven-day
rebuttal period. The exact format of the rebuttal was the object of considerable debate
among the organizers, as well as with prior organizers. At issue is to balance giving the
author the opportunity to respond completely and precisely to the reviewers, e.g., by
including graphs of experiments, while avoiding requests for completely new material
or experimental results not included in the original paper. In the end, we decided on the
two-page PDF document in conference format. Following this rebuttal period,
reviewers and ACs discussed papers at length, after which reviewers finalized their
evaluation and gave a final recommendation to the ACs. A significant percentage of the
reviewers did enter their final recommendation if it did not differ from their initial
recommendation. Given the tight schedule, we did not wait until all were entered.
After this discussion period, each paper was assigned to a second AC. The AC/paper
matching was again run through OpenReview. Again, the OpenReview team worked
quickly to implement the features specific to this process, in this case accounting for the
 Preface IX

existing AC assignment, as well as minimizing the fragmentation across ACs, so that

each AC had on average only 5.5 buddy ACs to communicate with. The largest number
was 11. Given the complexity of the conflicts, this was a very efficient set of assign-
ments from OpenReview. Each paper was then evaluated by its assigned pair of ACs.
For each paper, we required each of the two ACs assigned to certify both the final
recommendation and the metareview (aka consolidation report). In all cases, after
extensive discussions, the two ACs arrived at a common acceptance decision. We
maintained these decisions, with the caveat that we did evaluate, sometimes going back
to the ACs, a few papers for which the final acceptance decision substantially deviated
from the consensus from the reviewers, amending three decisions in the process.
We want to thank everyone involved in making ECCV 2018 possible. The success
of ECCV 2018 depended on the quality of papers submitted by the authors, and on the
very hard work of the ACs and the Program Committee members. We are particularly
grateful to the OpenReview team (Melisa Bok, Ari Kobren, Andrew McCallum,
Michael Spector) for their support, in particular their willingness to implement new
features, often on a tight schedule, to Laurent Charlin for the use of the Toronto Paper
Matching System, to the CMT3 team, in particular in dealing with all the issues that
arise when using a new system, to Friedrich Fraundorfer and Quirin Lohr for main-
taining the online version of the program, and to the CMU staff (Keyla Cook, Lynnetta
Miller, Ashley Song, Nora Kazour) for assisting with data entry/editing in CMT3.
Finally, the preparation of these proceedings would not have been possible without the
diligent effort of the publication chairs, Albert Ali Salah and Hamdi Dibeklioğlu, and of
Anna Kramer and Alfred Hofmann from Springer.

 DANGER CLIFF.

THERE was once a gentleman, it is said, who was very wealthy. He

had a large family of beautiful children; and he loved his wife and
sons and daughters very dearly; and daily he would have his
coachman take them out to ride.

Away they would go through country and city, and forest and park.
But near one of the pleasant rides there was a deep chasm, and its
sides were rocky and steep, so that to go too near it would be almost
certain death.

But the coachman would often see how very close he could drive to
the edge of the abyss without dashing his precious load to
destruction. This he continued to do day after day; though he did not
mean any harm. He only wanted to show how near he could come to
danger and yet escape. But one day he came just a little nearer,
when in an instant he became dizzy as he looked down into the dark
chasm, and whirled from his high seat and was gone.

But horses, coach and family, all escaped and came safely home.

Then another coachman must be found; and the gentleman sent

word all about, and advertised for a good, safe, skilful man. And
many came and he questioned them, each by himself, in order to get
the right one.

"How near can you drive to Danger Cliff—" so that chasm was called
—"without driving over?" asked the gentleman of the first one who
came.
"Alt, your honor, it's not every coachman that can do the likes o' me.
Sure, I've driven as near as your finger's bridth minny's the time, an'
twas as the sim as though 'twas a mile or more. I've niver hurt a hair
o' the hid."

"You may pass out," was the answer. "I do not wish your services."

Then came another, and he was asked the same question about
driving near the chasm. And he said he could come within six inches,
but feared to go nearer.

"I do not wish you," was said, and he passed out, wondering how
near the gentleman wanted his coachman to drive to this place of
danger.

So they came and went, till one answered: "Sir, I think I could drive
very near, even to the edge if necessary; but I always make it a point
to keep as far-away as I can."

"And you are the very man I wish, sir. Keep far-away from that and
all other dangers as you drive the coach about the country.
Remember, my family are in your keeping, and for their sakes as
well as for your own, do not take one risk unless you must."

Many's the boy who has said: "I'm not afraid to taste cider, or beer, or
wine, just this once. I know where to go, and where not to go, and
what I can stand. And I don't need any pledge. And if I want to
smoke a cigar I can smoke one, and there stop. And I can read one
bad book and no more, if I set my heart upon it. And I can spend an
hour with Jim Brown and not swear, even if he does. What's the use
of a fellow's going to excess every time? Why can't he have a little of
these things even if they are not quite so good, and stop just where
one wants to?" Yes, but nine chances to one, the boy will keep
coming nearer and nearer to Danger Cliff, and then in an instant his
head will whirl, and over he will go and disappear in darkness
forever.

Yes, but who ever plunged over Danger Cliff who kept as far-away
from it as possible?

Keep far-away from every Danger Cliff.

 MY MOCKING-BIRD.

IF you are an artist, and want to color this little fellow, be sure you
use no yellows or glowing reds about him. His back must be made a
sort of ashy brown, and his wings and tail nearly black, and his legs
and bill quite black. A bit of white, as you see, may be put on his
breast, but even this must not be too white; it ought to have a
brownish tinge. There is really not a bit of brightness for trimming; no
yellow at the tips of his wings, no ruffle of red about his throat. He
isn't pretty, and I may as well own it at once. The lovely goldfinch in
the cage opposite him, with her brilliant yellow wings that contrast so
beautifully with the green vines among which she loves to hop, is
often tossing her head at him in a saucy way, as though she knew
she was a beauty; and I'm sure she does, for the first place she visits
when I let her out of her cage, is the looking-glass.

Ah, but let me be just to my poor little goldfinch, if she is a trifle vain.
There was a time that she really did not know it was her own pretty
self she saw in the glass, and she actually took a seed with her, and
offered it to the bird in the glass.
 MY MOCKING-BIRD.

But you should see her when Mornie—that's the homely bird's name
—makes up his mind to sing. She retires to the most distant corner
of her cage, curls herself up in a still little heap, puts her head on one
side, and listens without the flutter of a feather. Either I imagine it or
there really does come a sad look in her eyes, as though she
thought she would give all the yellow in her lovely tail if she could
sing like that.

Oh, how he sings! Sometimes like a canary, sometimes like a wood-

robin in a spring morning, sometimes like the true mate of the pretty
little goldfinch herself. In fact, like any bird that he has ever heard;
springing the notes from one style of music to another much more
quickly than a young Miss at the piano can change her music, and
begin again.

A mischievous bird is this Mornie of mine. In addition to his musical

powers, he can cackle exactly like a hen; and when Mollie, my little
errand girl, first came to live with me, Mornie kept her half the time
running to see which hen had laid an egg, so sure was she that she
would find a fresh one.

Then, no sooner does Tom go to sawing wood in the back-yard, than

Mornie begins her "Screak! Screak! Screak!" so exactly like the
sound which the saw makes, that you would be almost certain to
think Tom had moved his work to the side piazza where Mornie
hangs. Very often he wakens in the middle of the night and gives us
a song. But there is this queer thing about him then. All his fun
seems to be gone. Whether he is lonely and homesick or not, I do
not know, but the plaintive little note that belongs to him is all he
sings in the night.

That is not the time, he thinks, for mocking anybody.

I have some trouble in preparing his food for him; he is really very
dainty, unlike my goldfinch. He is very fond of raw meat chopped
fine; and indeed must have it, or he would lose his health. Mush and
milk is also a favorite dish of his; at least, that is what we call it,
though the meal is not cooked like our mush, but stirred raw into the
milk.

Then, too, he must have his fresh fruit in its season. Strawberries are
his special favorites, but he will kindly condescend to eat any fruit
that he can get after strawberries are gone. Still, you need not
suppose that his tastes are all so dainty. He is by no means above
eating a good-sized grasshopper or beetle, and a fat worm now and
then he considers a special dainty.

Now I have taken a good deal of pains to inquire into the character
and habits of mocking-birds, and I find that mine is not an unusual
one, but is quite like his race; so that if you think of getting such a
bird for a pet, you may safely feed him as I do mine, and expect him
to act very much as Mornie does.
He and all his class are very brave when they have any young birds
to defend; they have been known to kill snakes by darting at their
eyes and biting, and by striking them sharp blows on the head with
their beaks. It is said that even cats discover that it is wise to keep
away from the pretty little nest where young mocking-birds are being
reared; if they don't, the fierce father bird will dart at them and pick
their eyes out.

My cat Tabby has learned by some means that she is not to have
any thing to do with Mornie; I never taught her, so I think he has
explained it to her. By the way, another accomplishment he has is to
bark like a dog. Tabby, who is mortally afraid of dogs, went around
half the time with her back arched like a bow, when Mornie first came
into the house; but she has learned now, that the bark which she
dreads comes from the bird in the cage; and if she is awakened
suddenly from a nap, and begins to arch her back in fear, she
remembers in a trice, and goes off under the barn to feel ashamed.

Isn't it a wonder that Mornie never tries to talk? Perhaps he does try,
but he never succeeds. I often feel sorry for him, to think that when
he knows so much, he cannot learn to speak one little word.
However, he gives me a great deal of pleasure with his music; as
much as goldfinch does with her pretty ways and her gay dress; both
of them are cheerful and happy all day long, and do just as well as
they know how. Without any judgment, or reason, or soul, each
contrives to do well and joyfully just what God wants him to do.
 "LETTER FOR ME, SIR?"

MEN, women, children, rich and poor, black and white, are hurrying
into the post-office, and pressing close up to the delivery window.
Some are expecting letters from distant friends.

That old man you see standing nearest the window, has been
coming for a long time. He gets nothing, yet keeps coming.

He had a son once, whom he brought up very tenderly. He was an

only child and was dearly loved. But the boy had a bad companion
who led him astray. Once he enticed him into a saloon and to drink.
He was carried back to his father drunk.

Do you wonder the poor father was heart-broken, and that he spoke
severe words.

But the boy instead of being ashamed and begging his father's
forgiveness, became very angry, and after a little, gathered all he
had into a bundle, and without a word of farewell slipped away one
dark night, where no one could tell.

When the father awoke the next morning and learned that his boy
had gone, his grief knew no bounds. He wrote letters in all directions
and put notices in a great many newspapers about his lost son. And
he travelled many hundred miles in search of him. But all to no
purpose.

He thinks he is somewhere in Mexico. Poor old man! In the last few

months he has grown gray very fast. I don't think he will come here
many more mornings asking for news from his lost Henry. Death will
come and take him to the arms of Jesus, I trust, and maybe then he
will get some good word about his wandering boy.

How are you treating your parents and your Heavenly Father?

Standing next to this old man is a boy nine years old. His mother has
sent him to see if a letter has come yet from his father. Not long ago
this father joined the army and went a thousand miles away to the
West to fight the wild Indians.

But not a word has come from him. Many battles have been fought
with the savages, and the papers say that some of the soldiers have
been shot down.

Sometimes the soldiers wander away from the camp and while every
thing seems so safe around them, suddenly the crack of a rifle is
heard, and a bullet from an Indian gun speeds through the soldier's
heart.

Or maybe he finds his way to a saloon and becomes drunk, and

quarrels, and is killed, and his friends far-away at the East, expecting
some day to welcome back a brave soldier, hear no more from him. I
suppose whisky kills a great many more than war.

I am so glad this dear child does not know what dreadful thing has
happened to his father, or his face would not be so sunny.

Next to this child is a lady. She is richly dressed and seems very
cheerful. She is laughing and talking with the gentleman near her.
She tells him she expects good news from her husband who is in
Europe. But, see! There comes a letter for her, and there's a black
border about it. She turns pale and trembles, and can hardly
command herself enough to break it open. I wonder what it says; she
has hurried away weeping and groaning.

And now the crowd presses on. The clerk says to this one and that,
"Nothing for you!" "Nothing for you!" "Pass along there!" "Don't block
up the way!" But there comes a rough-looking man. Wonder if he
really expects any one will write him a letter.

Yet the clerk hands him out one, large and handsomely addressed.
How astonished the man is. He blushes and shuffles away to a
corner by himself, and after trying a long time he brings forth a great
fine parchment. But, poor man! He can't read. He looks around the
room for help. His eye rests upon me.

"Sir, will you be so kind as to give me the meaning of this paper? I'm
a poor man without education, sir."

I take the large letter. It is from Europe, written by a lawyer, and it

says that one of this man's relatives has died and left him five
hundred pounds.
