Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints
TLDR
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.Abstract:
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. The features are invariant to image scale and rotation, and are shown to provide robust matching across a substantial range of affine distortion, change in 3D viewpoint, addition of noise, and change in illumination. The features are highly distinctive, in the sense that a single feature can be correctly matched with high probability against a large database of features from many images. This paper also describes an approach to using these features for object recognition. The recognition proceeds by matching individual features to a database of features from known objects using a fast nearest-neighbor algorithm, followed by a Hough transform to identify clusters belonging to a single object, and finally performing verification through least-squares solution for consistent pose parameters. This approach to recognition can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.read more

Fisher Kernels on Visual Vocabularies for Image Categorization
TL;DR: This work shows that Fisher kernels can actually be understood as an extension of the popular bag-of-visterms, and proposes to apply this framework to image categorization where the input signals are images and where the underlying generative model is a visual vocabulary: a Gaussian mixture model which approximates the distribution of low-level features in images.

Local Features and Kernels for Classification of Texture and Object Categories: A Comprehensive Study
TL;DR: A large-scale evaluation of an approach that represents images as distributions of features extracted from a sparse set of keypoint locations and learns a Support Vector Machine classifier with kernels based on two effective measures for comparing distributions, the Earth Mover’s Distance and the χ2 distance.

An HOG-LBP human detector with partial occlusion handling
TL;DR: By combining Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) as the feature set, this work proposes a novel human detection approach capable of handling partial occlusion and achieves the best human detection performance on the INRIA dataset.

Human detection using oriented histograms of flow and appearance
TL;DR: A detector for standing and moving people in videos with possibly moving cameras and backgrounds is developed, testing several different motion coding schemes and showing empirically that orientated histograms of differential optical flow give the best overall performance.

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.
