Stable local feature detection and representation is a fundamental component of many image registration and object recognition algorithms. Mikolajczyk and Schmid [14] recently eva...
In this paper, we shall address the issue of semantic extraction of different regions of interest. The proposed approach is based on statistical methods and models inspired from l...
The ability to automatically detect `visually interesting' regions in an image has many practical applications especially in the design of active machine vision systems. This...

—Salient areas in natural scenes are generally regarded as areas which the human eye will typically focus on, and finding these areas is the key step in object detection. In com...
We introduce a new class of distinguished regions based on detecting the most salient convex local arrangements of contours in the image. The regions are used in a similar way to ...
