In patch-based object recognition, there are two important issues on the codebook generation: (1) resolution: a coarse codebook lacks sufficient discriminative power, and an over-...
This paper introduces an edge-based object recognition method that is robust with respect to clutter, occlusion and object deformations. The method combines the use of local featu...
Clustering is one of the most widely used statistical tools for data analysis. Among all existing clustering techniques, k-means is a very popular method because of its ease of pr...
Visual categorization problems, such as object classification or action recognition,
are increasingly often approached using a detection strategy: a classifier function
is first ...

We develop a semi-supervised learning method that constrains the posterior distribution of latent variables under a generative model to satisfy a rich set of feature expectation c...
