Many recent keypoint detectors associate a local scale (for multiscale detectors) or even a full affine frame (for affine-invariant detectors) to each detected keypoint. Although ...
Given an image region of pixels, second order statistics can be used to construct a descriptor for object representation. One example is the covariance matrix descriptor, which sh...

Deformable 3–D models can be represented either as explicit or implicit surfaces. Explicit surfaces, such as triangulations or wire-frame models, are widely accepted in the Comp...
Local feature approaches to vision geometry and object recognition are based on selecting and matching sparse sets of visually salient image points, known as `keypoints' or `p...
