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.

Hedged Deep Tracking

TL;DR: A novel CNN based tracking framework is proposed, which takes full advantage of features from different CNN layers and uses an adaptive Hedge method to hedge several CNN based trackers into a single stronger one.

Invariant Features from Interest Point Groups

TL;DR: This work introduces a family of features which use groups of interest points to form geometrically invariant descriptors of image regions to ensure robust matching between images in which there are large changes in viewpoint, scale and illumi- nation.

Convolutional Neural Networks for human activity recognition using mobile sensors

TL;DR: An approach to automatically extract discriminative features for activity recognition based on Convolutional Neural Networks, which can capture local dependency and scale invariance of a signal as it has been shown in speech recognition and image recognition domains is proposed.

Deep Facial Expression Recognition: A Survey

TL;DR: A comprehensive survey on deep facial expression recognition (FER) can be found in this article, including datasets and algorithms that provide insights into the intrinsic problems of deep FER, including overfitting caused by lack of sufficient training data and expression-unrelated variations, such as illumination, head pose and identity bias.

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.
