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

Learning to See by Moving
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated if the awareness of egomotion (i.e. self motion) can be used as a supervisory signal for feature learning and found that features learnt using self-motion as supervision compare favourably to features learned using class-label as supervision on the tasks of scene recognition, object recognition, visual odometry and keypoint matching.

Learning Locally-Adaptive Decision Functions for Person Verification
TL;DR: The decision function for verification is proposed to be viewed as a joint model of a distance metric and a locally adaptive thresholding rule, and the inference on the decision function is formulated as a second-order large-margin regularization problem, and an efficient algorithm is provided in its dual from.

Wide Baseline Stereo Matching based on Local, Affinely Invariant Regions
Tinne Tuytelaars,Luc Van Gool +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents an alternative method for extracting invariant regions that does not depend on the presence of edges or corners in the image but is purely intensity-based, and demonstrates the use of such regions for another application, which is wide baseline stereo matching.
Discovering object categories in image collections
TL;DR: Given a set of images containing multiple object categories, this work seeks to discover those categories and their image locations without supervision using generative models from the statistical text literature: probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA), and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA).

Randomized trees for real-time keypoint recognition
TL;DR: This paper advocates the use of randomized trees as the classification technique, which is both fast enough for real-time performance and more robust, and gives a principled way not only to match keypoints but to select during a training phase those that are the most recognizable ones.

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.

Visual learning and recognition of 3-D objects from appearance
Hiroshi Murase,Shree K. Nayar +1 more
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.
