In this paper, we propose an object detection approach using spatial histogram features. As spatial histograms consist of marginal distributions of an image over local patches, th...
We explore the problem of classifying images by the object categories they contain in the case of a large number of object categories. To this end we combine three ingredients: (i...
Histograms of local appearance descriptors are a popular representation for visual recognition. They are highly discriminant with good resistance to local occlusions and to geomet...
We present an image retrieval system driven by free-hand sketched queries depicting shape. We introduce Gradient Field HoG (GF-HOG) as a depiction invariant image descriptor, enca...
A normalized, power-weighted averaging filter (NPF) is a very good approximation to the well-know local maximum and minimum filters along the object edges and offers noise reducti...
