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

Weakly supervised histopathology cancer image segmentation and classification
TL;DR: This paper embeds the clustering concept into the multiple instance learning (MIL) setting and derive a principled solution to performing the above three tasks in an integrated framework and introduces contextual constraints as a prior for MCIL, which further reduces the ambiguity in MIL.

A Discriminative Model for Age Invariant Face Recognition
TL;DR: This paper proposes a discriminative model to address face matching in the presence of age variation and shows that this approach outperforms a state-of-the-art commercial face recognition engine on two public domain face aging data sets: MORPH and FG-NET.

Representations of Keypoint-Based Semantic Concept Detection: A Comprehensive Study
TL;DR: A comprehensive study on the representation choices of BoW, including vocabulary size, weighting scheme, stop word removal, feature selection, spatial information, and visual bi-gram, and a soft-weighting method to assess the significance of a visual word to an image is conducted.

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.
