We introduce a text-based image feature and demon-
strate that it consistently improves performance on hard
object classification problems. The feature is built using
an auxilia...
We present a two-step method to speed-up object detection systems in computer vision that use Support Vector Machines (SVMs) as classifiers. In a first step we perform feature red...

Object identification (OID) is specialized recognition where the category is known (e.g. cars) and the algorithm recognizes an object's exact identity (e.g. Bob's BMW). ...

A semantically meaningful image hierarchy can ease the human effort in organizing thousands and millions of pictures (e.g., personal albums), and help to improve performance of en...

This paper describes an efficient feature selection method that quickly selects a small subset out of a given huge feature set; for building robust object detection systems. In th...
