Local descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformations....
Two fast illumination invariant image retrieval methods for scenes comprising textured objects with variable illumination are introduced. Both methods are based on texture gradien...
Abstract. We propose an improved shape matching algorithm that extends the work of Felzenszwalb [3]. In this approach, we use triangular meshes to represent deformable objects and ...
Recent work has shown that effective methods for recognising objects or spatio-temporal events can be constructed based on receptive field responses summarised into histograms or ...
The Gaussian kernel has played a central role in multi-scale methods for feature extraction and matching. In this paper, a method for shaping the filter using the local image stru...
