Model Abstraction from Examples Yakov Keselman, Member, IEEE, and Sven Dickinson, Member, IEEE The recognition community has typically avoided bridging the representational gap bet...
This paper compares two methods for object localization from contours: shape context and chamfer matching of templates. In the light of our experiments, we suggest improvements to...

We study the question of feature sets for robust visual object recognition, adopting linear SVM based human detection as a test case. After reviewing existing edge and gradient ba...
A visual word lexicon can be constructed by clustering primitive visual features, and a visual object can be described by a set of visual words. Such a "bag-of-words" re...
