Recognition of object categories from their images is extremely challenging due to the large intra-class variations, and variations in pose, illumination and scale, in addition to...

composed of local sketches and local textures, and
investigates the relative importance of the sketches and textures

Today's category-level object recognition systems largely focus on fronto-parallel views of objects with characteristic texture patterns. To overcome these limitations, we pr...
We introduce a new class of distinguished regions based on detecting the most salient convex local arrangements of contours in the image. The regions are used in a similar way to ...
Image texture analysis has received a lot of attention in the past years. Researchers have developed many texture signatures based on texture measurements, for the purpose of uniq...
