Multi-class Boosting with Class Hierarchies
Abstract. We propose AdaBoost.BHC, a novel multi-class boosting algorithm. AdaBoost.BHC solves a C class problem by using C − 1 binary classifiers defined by a hierarchy that i...

Maximally Stable Colour Regions for Recognition and Matching
This paper introduces a novel colour-based affine covariant region detector. Our algorithm is an extension of the maximally stable extremal region (MSER) to colour. The extension ...
