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

Region Proposal by Guided Anchoring
TL;DR: This paper presents an alternative scheme, named Guided Anchoring, which leverages semantic features to guide the anchoring, and jointly predicts the locations where the center of objects of interest are likely to exist as well as the scales and aspect ratios at different locations.

Evaluation of Interest Point Detectors and Feature Descriptors for Visual Tracking
TL;DR: This work presents a carefully designed dataset of video sequences of planar textures with ground truth, which includes various geometric changes, lighting conditions, and levels of motion blur, and presents a comprehensive quantitative evaluation of detector-descriptor-based visual camera tracking based on this testbed.

Blocks That Shout: Distinctive Parts for Scene Classification
TL;DR: This paper proposes a simple, efficient, and effective method to learn parts incrementally, starting from a single part occurrence with an Exemplar SVM, and can learn parts which are significantly more informative and for a fraction of the cost, compared to previous part-learning methods.

Learning Local Image Descriptors
Simon Winder,Matthew Brown +1 more
TL;DR: The best descriptors were those with log polar histogramming regions and feature vectors constructed from rectified outputs of steerable quadrature filters, which gave one third of the incorrect matches produced by SIFT.

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.

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.
