Object modeling under consideration of geometric constraints is an important task. In this paper we describe a novel approach to achieving this goal. It has the nice property that...
We investigate the role of sparsity and localized features in a biologically-inspired model of visual object classification. As in the model of Serre, Wolf, and Poggio, we first a...
Codebook-based representations are widely employed in the classification of complex objects such as images and documents. Most previous codebook-based methods construct a single c...

Recent studies have argued that natural vision systems perform classification by utilizing different mechanisms depending on the visual input. In this paper we present a hybrid, ...
This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
