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....
One of the major difficulties in face recognition systems is the in-depth pose variation problem. Most face recognition approaches assume that the pose of the face is known. In th...
Abstract. Selective attention shift can help neural networks learn invariance. We describe a method that can produce a network with invariance to changes in visual input caused by ...
We investigate the role of sparsity and localized features in a biologically-inspired model of visual object classification. As in the model of Serre, Wolf, and Poggio, we first a...
Many object classes, including human faces, can be modeled as a set of characteristic parts arranged in a variable spatial con guration. We introduce a simpli ed model of a deforma...
