A critical function in both machine vision and biological vision systems is attentional selection of scene regions worthy of further analysis by higher-level processes such as obj...
This paper describes a database collecting natural color images, called the Natural Image Database, and shows how it is used for illuminant estimation problems. First, we present ...
We present a method to detect characters on signboards in natural scene images. For many applications, both classifier with small computational cost and the efficient feature set,...
This paper proposes a simple yet new and effective framework by combining generative model and discriminative model for natural scene categorization. A state-of-the-art approach f...
Classifying natural scenes into semantic categories has always been a challenging task. So far, many works in this field are primarily intended for single label classification, wh...
