Keypoint Signatures for Fast Learning and Recognition

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Michael Calonder

Statistical learning techniques have been used to dramatically speed-up keypoint matching by training a classifier to recognize a specific set of keypoints. However, the training itself is usually relatively slow and performed offline. Although methods hav ...

Stationary Features and Cat Detection

François Fleuret

Most discriminative techniques for detecting instances from object categories in still images consist of looping over a partition of a pose space with dedicated binary classifiers. The efficiency of this strategy for a complex pose, i.e., for fine-grained ...

A Thousand Words in a Scene

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Jean-Marc Odobez, Pedro Manuel Da Silva Quelhas

This paper presents a novel approach for visual scene modeling and classification, investigating the combined use of text modeling methods and local invariant features. Our work attempts to elucidate (1) whether a text-like \emph{bag-of-visterms} represent ...

Web Text Retrieval with a P2P Query-Driven Index

Karl Aberer, Martin Rajman, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar, Gleb Skobeltsyn

In this paper, we present a query-driven indexing/retrieval strategy for efficient full text retrieval from large document collections distributed within a structured P2P network. Our indexing strategy is based on two important properties: (1) the generate ...

Scene image classification and segmentation with quantized local descriptors and latent aspect modeling

Pedro Manuel Da Silva Quelhas

The ever increasing number of digital images in both public and private collections urges on the need for generic image content analysis systems. These systems need to be capable to capture the content of images from both scenes and objects, in a compact w ...

CLEF2007 Image Annotation Task: an SVM-based Cue Integration Approach

Barbara Caputo, Tatiana Tommasi

This paper presents the algorithms and results of our participation to the medical image annotation task of ImageCLEFmed 2007. We proposed, as a general strategy, a multi-cue approach where images are represented both by global and local descrip- tors, so ...
