This paper presents region moments, a class of appearance descriptors based on image moments applied to a pool of image features. A careful design of the moments and the image fea...
Saliency measures the low-level stimuli to human vision, and serves as an alternative to semantic image understanding. This paper presents a region enhanced scale-invariant salien...
In this paper we revisit local feature detectors/descriptors developed for 2D images and extend them to the more general framework of scalar fields defined on 2D manifolds. We pro...

Text extraction from a web image is important for web indexing because the text can contain a key information of the web. This paper presents a method to detect a text with variou...
This paper introduces an affine invariant shape descriptor for maximally stable extremal regions (MSER). Affine invariant feature descriptors are normally computed by sampling the...
