A key step for the effective use of local image features (i.e., highly distinctive and robust features) for recognition or image matching is the appropriate grouping of feature ma...
Abstract. In recent years there has been growing interest in recognition models using local image features for applications ranging from long range motion matching to object class ...
This paper proposes a novel image modeling scheme for object detection and localization. Object appearance is modeled by the joint distribution of k-tuple salient point feature ve...

Object detection is challenging partly due to the limited discriminative power of local feature descriptors. We amend this limitation by incorporating spatial constraints among ne...
Abstract. Even a relatively unstructured captioned image set depicting a variety of objects in cluttered scenes contains strong correlations between caption words and repeated visu...
