Abstract--An image can be seen as an element of a vector space so that it can be expressed in terms of a series expansion of any non necessarily orthogonal base of this space. This...
PCA-SIFT is an extension to SIFT which aims to reduce SIFT’s high dimensionality (128 dimensions) by applying PCA to the gradient image patches. However PCA is not a discriminati...
—Inspired by Weber’s Law, this paper proposes a simple, yet very powerful and robust local descriptor, called the Weber Local Descriptor (WLD). It is based on the fact that hum...

A novel local image descriptor is proposed in this paper, which combines intensity orders and gradient distributions in multiple support regions. The novelty lies in three aspects...
In the past, quantized local descriptors have been shown to be a good base for the representation of images, that can be applied to a wide range of tasks. However, current approac...
