We describe a new region descriptor and apply it to two problems, object detection and texture classification. The covariance of d-features, e.g., the three-dimensional color vecto...
This paper presents region moments, a class of appearance descriptors based on image moments applied to a pool of image features. A careful design of the moments and the image fea...
Given an image region of pixels, second order statistics can be used to construct a descriptor for object representation. One example is the covariance matrix descriptor, which sh...

Video fire detection system which uses a spatio-temporal covariance matrix of video data is proposed. This system divides the video into spatio-temporal blocks and computes covar...

We present a new algorithm to detect humans in still images utilizing covariance matrices as object descriptors. Since these descriptors do not lie on a vector space, well known m...
