Abstract. Isomap is a highly popular manifold learning and dimensionality reduction technique that effectively performs multidimensional scaling on estimates of geodesic distances....
We propose using the proximity distribution of vectorquantized local feature descriptors for object and category recognition. To this end, we introduce a novel "proximity dis...
