Many visual matching algorithms can be described in terms of the features and the inter-feature distance or metric. The most commonly used metric is the sum of squared di erences ...
The objective of active recognition is to iteratively collect the next "best" measurements (e.g., camera angles or viewpoints), to maximally reduce ambiguities in recogn...
This paper presents a new method for detecting scale invariant interest points. The method is based on two recent results on scale space: 1) Interest points can be adapted to scal...
