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 `...
Abecassis, Sera, Yonas, and Schwade (2001) have shown that young children represent shapes more metrically, and perhaps more holistically, than do older children and adults. How d...
This paper presents a method for selection of SIFT(Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) feature points using OC-SVM (One Class-Support Vector Machines). We proposed the method for au...
Recently there has been considerable interest in topic models based on the bag-of-features representation of images. The strong independence assumption inherent in the bag-of-feat...
We develop an abstract model of information acquisition from redundant data. We assume a random sampling process from data which contain information with bias and are interested in...
