W e introduce a novel view-based object representation, called the saliency map graph (SMG), which captures the salient regions of an object view at multiple scales using a wavele...
Recognition of specular objects is particularly difficult because their appearance is much more sensitive to lighting changes than that of Lambertian objects. We consider an appr...
We introduce a new descriptor for images which allows the construction of efficient and compact classifiers with good accuracy on object category recognition. The descriptor is the...
We present a hierarchical generative model for object recognition that is constructed by weakly-supervised learning. A key component is a novel, adaptive patch feature whose width...
We present a "parts and structure" model for object category recognition that can be learnt efficiently and in a semisupervised manner: the model is learnt from example ...
