Abstract—Contour features play an important role in object recognition. Psychological experiments have shown that maximum-curvature points are most distinctive along a contour [6...
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...

In this paper we present an empirical study of object category recognition using generalized samples and a set of sequential tests. We study 33 categories, each consisting of a sm...

This paper presents a new structure-based interest region detector called Principal Curvature-Based Regions (PCBR) which we use for object class recognition. The PCBR interest ope...
