TLDR
Experimental results show that robust object recognition can be achieved in cluttered partially occluded images with a computation time of under 2 seconds.
Abstract
An object recognition system has been developed that uses a new class of local image features. The features are invariant to image scaling, translation, and rotation, and partially invariant to illumination changes and affine or 3D projection. These features share similar properties with neurons in inferior temporal cortex that are used for object recognition in primate vision. Features are efficiently detected through a staged filtering approach that identifies stable points in scale space. Image keys are created that allow for local geometric deformations by representing blurred image gradients in multiple orientation planes and at multiple scales. The keys are used as input to a nearest neighbor indexing method that identifies candidate object matches. Final verification of each match is achieved by finding a low residual least squares solution for the unknown model parameters. Experimental results show that robust object recognition can be achieved in cluttered partially occluded images with a computation time of under 2 seconds.

Learning a dense multi-view representation for detection, viewpoint classification and synthesis of object categories

TL;DR: This work proposes a new 3D object class model that is capable of recognizing unseen views by pose estimation and synthesis and performs superiorly to and on par with state-of-the-art algorithms on the Savarese et al. 2007 and PASCAL datasets in object detection.

Keypoint-based 4-Points Congruent Sets – Automated marker-less registration of laser scans

TL;DR: A method to automatically register two point clouds acquired with a terrestrial laser scanner without placing any markers in the scene is proposed and the resulting Keypoint-based 4-Points Congruent Sets (K-4PCS) method is extensively evaluated on challenging indoor and outdoor scans.

Compressed Histogram of Gradients: A Low-Bitrate Descriptor

TL;DR: A framework for computing low bit-rate feature descriptors with a 20× reduction in bit rate compared to state-of-the-art descriptors is proposed and it is shown how to efficiently compute distances between descriptors in the compressed domain eliminating the need for decoding.

Scale-Invariant Object Categorization Using a Scale-Adaptive Mean-Shift Search

TL;DR: In this paper, object categorization in real-world scenes is addressed, given a novel image we want to recognize and localize unseen-before objects based on their similarity to a learned object category.

Generalizing the hough transform to detect arbitrary shapes

TL;DR: It is shown how the boundaries of an arbitrary non-analytic shape can be used to construct a mapping between image space and Hough transform space, which makes the generalized Houghtransform a kind of universal transform which can beused to find arbitrarily complex shapes.

Local grayvalue invariants for image retrieval

TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of retrieving images from large image databases with a method based on local grayvalue invariants which are computed at automatically detected interest points and allows for efficient retrieval from a database of more than 1,000 images.

A robust technique for matching two uncalibrated images through the recovery of the unknown epipolar geometry

TL;DR: A robust approach to image matching by exploiting the only available geometric constraint, namely, the epipolar constraint, is proposed and a new strategy for updating matches is developed, which only selects those matches having both high matching support and low matching ambiguity.
