This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
We present a data-driven approach to predict the importance of edges and construct a Markov network for image analysis based on statistical models of global and local image feature...
Many existing systems for human body tracking are based on dynamic model-based tracking that is driven by local image features. Alternatively, within a view-based approach, tracki...
We introduce a new method that characterizes typical local image features (e.g., SIFT [9], phase feature [3]) in terms of their distinctiveness, detectability, and robustness to i...
A key aspect of semantic image segmentation is to integrate local and global features for the prediction of local segment labels. We present an approach to multi-class segmentatio...
We propose a novel approach to improve the distinctiveness of local image features without significantly affecting their robustness with respect to image deformations. Local image...
The ability to automatically detect visually interesting regions in images has practical applications in the design of active machine vision systems. Analysis of the statistics of...

We demonstrate that it is possible to filter an image with an elliptic window of varying size, elongation and orientation with a fixed computational cost per pixel. Our method inv...
Proc. of the International Conference on Computer Vision, Corfu (Sept. 1999) An object recognition system has been developed that uses a new class of local image features. The fea...
