Visual categorization is fundamentally important for autonomous mobile robots to get intelligence such as novel object acquisition and topological place recognition. The main difï...
The chapter describes visual classification by a hierarchy of semantic fragments. In fragment-based classification, objects within a class are represented by common sub-structures ...
The bottleneck in interactive visual classification is the exchange of information between human and machine. We introduce the concept of the visible model, which is an ion of an ...
One current direction to enhance the search accuracy in visual object retrieval is to reformulate the original query through (pseudo-)relevance feedback, which augments a query wi...
As digital cameras with Global Positioning System (GPS) capability become available and people geotag their photos using other means, it is of great interest to annotate semantic e...
