Many modern visual recognition algorithms incorporate a step of spatial `pooling', where the outputs of several nearby feature detectors are combined into a local or global `...
With the explosive growth of Web and the recent development in digital media technology, the number of images on the Web has grown tremendously. Consequently, Web image clustering...
The quadratic discriminant (QD) classifier has proved to be simple and effective in many pattern recognition problems. However, it requires the computation of the inverse of the sa...
Many successful models for scene or object recognition transform low-level descriptors (such as Gabor filter responses, or SIFT descriptors) into richer representations of interme...
