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.read more

Multi-image Photogrammetry for Underwater Archaeological Site Recording: An Accessible, Diver-Based Approach
John McCarthy,Jonathan Benjamin +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the availability of integrated multi-image photogrammetry software, highly light-sensitive digital sensors and wide-aperture compact cameras, now allow for simple work flows with minimal equipment and excellent natural colour images even at depths of up to 30 m.

Multi-view facial expression recognition
TL;DR: The authors' extensive person-independent experiments suggest that the SIFT descriptor outperforms HoG and LBP, and LPP outperforms PCA and LDA in this application, but the classifier fusion does not show a significant advantage over SIFT-only classifier.

Mapping folds and fractures in basement and cover rocks using UAV photogrammetry, Cape Liptrap and Cape Paterson, Victoria, Australia
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D implicit structural trend model was used to visualise along-strike changes of Devonian (Tabberabberan) folds at the Fold Stack locality and to estimate bulk shortening strain.

Interactions of visual attention and object recognition : computational modeling, algorithms, and psychophysics.
TL;DR: A new model of bottom-up salient region selection is developed, which estimates the approximate extent of attended proto-objects in a biologically realistic manner and shows that attentional grouping based on bottom- up processes enables successive learning and recognition of multiple objects in cluttered natural scenes.

Color indexing
Michael J. Swain,Dana H. Ballard +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, color histograms of multicolored objects provide a robust, efficient cue for indexing into a large database of models, and they can differentiate among a large number of objects.

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.

TL;DR: A near real-time recognition system with 20 complex objects in the database has been developed and a compact representation of object appearance is proposed that is parametrized by pose and illumination.

Local grayvalue invariants for image retrieval
Cordelia Schmid,Roger Mohr +1 more
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.
