TLDR
A suite of scale-invariant center-surround detectors (CenSurE) that outperform the other detectors, yet have better computational characteristics than other scale-space detectors, and are capable of real-time implementation are introduced.
Abstract
We explore the suitability of different feature detectors for the task of image registration, and in particular for visual odometry, using two criteria: stability (persistence across viewpoint change) and accuracy (consistent localization across viewpoint change). In addition to the now-standard SIFT, SURF, FAST, and Harris detectors, we introduce a suite of scale-invariant center-surround detectors (CenSurE) that outperform the other detectors, yet have better computational characteristics than other scale-space detectors, and are capable of real-time implementation.

Complex dynamic scene analysis through multi-body motion segmentation : application to intelligent vehicles

TL;DR: A Track-before-Detect framework for a multi-body motion segmentation (namely TbD-SfM) was proposed, which relies detection and tracking on a tightly coupled strategy intended to reduce the complexity of an existing Multi-body Structure from Motion approach.

Large Scale Pattern Detection in Videos and Images from the Wild

TL;DR: Improvements over contemporary methods in the fast detection of unseen patterns in a large corpus of videos that vary tremendously in colour and texture definition, captured “in the wild” by mobile devices and surveillance cameras are described.

An automated perceptual learning algorithm for determining structure-based visual prototypes of objects from internet-scale data

Lichao Chen
TL;DR: This dissertation investigated the open problem of constructing part-based object representation models from very large scale image databases in an unsupervised manner and defined a network model from a full Bayesian setting that is able to find visual templates of the same part with dramatically different visual appearances.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints

TL;DR: This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images that can be used to perform reliable matching between different views of an object or scene and can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

Random sample consensus: a paradigm for model fitting with applications to image analysis and automated cartography

TL;DR: New results are derived on the minimum number of landmarks needed to obtain a solution, and algorithms are presented for computing these minimum-landmark solutions in closed form that provide the basis for an automatic system that can solve the Location Determination Problem under difficult viewing.

A Combined Corner and Edge Detector

TL;DR: The problem the authors are addressing in Alvey Project MMI149 is that of using computer vision to understand the unconstrained 3D world, in which the viewed scenes will in general contain too wide a diversity of objects for topdown recognition techniques to work.

SURF: speeded up robust features

TL;DR: A novel scale- and rotation-invariant interest point detector and descriptor, coined SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features), which approximates or even outperforms previously proposed schemes with respect to repeatability, distinctiveness, and robustness, yet can be computed and compared much faster.

Robust real-time face detection

TL;DR: A new image representation called the “Integral Image” is introduced which allows the features used by the detector to be computed very quickly and a method for combining classifiers in a “cascade” which allows background regions of the image to be quickly discarded while spending more computation on promising face-like regions.
