A PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LOCAL DESCRIPTORS

by Krystian Mikolajczyk, Cordelia Schmid , 2005
"... In this paper we compare the performance of descriptors computed for local interest regions, as for example extracted by the Harris-Affine detector [32]. Many different descriptors have been proposed in the literature. However, it is unclear which descriptors are more appropriate and how their perfo ..."

PCA-SIFT: A more distinctive representation for local image descriptors

by Yan Ke, Rahul Sukthankar , 2004
"... Stable local feature detection and representation is a fundamental component of many image registration and object recognition algorithms. Mikolajczyk and Schmid [14] recently evaluated a variety of approaches and identified the SIFT [11] algorithm as being the most resistant to common image deforma ..."

Like SIFT, our descriptors encode the salient aspects of the image gradient in the feature point's neighborhood; however, instead of using SIFT's smoothed weighted histograms, we apply Principal Components

SURF: Speeded Up Robust Features

by Herbert Bay, Tinne Tuytelaars, Luc Van Gool - ECCV
"... Abstract. In this paper, we present a novel scale- and rotation-invariant interest point detector and descriptor, coined SURF (Speeded Up Ro-bust Features). It approximates or even outperforms previously proposed schemes with respect to repeatability, distinctiveness, and robustness, yet can be comp ..."

MoSIFT: Recognizing Human Actions in

by Surveillance Videos, Ming-yu Chen, Alex Hauptmann , 2009
"... The goal of this paper is to build robust human action recognition for real world surveillance videos. Local spatio-temporal features around interest points provide compact but descriptive representations for video analysis and motion recognition. Current approaches tend to extend spatial descriptio ..."

distinctive local features through local appearance and motion. We construct MoSIFT feature descriptors in the spirit of the well-known SIFT descriptors to be robust to small deformations through grid aggregation. We also introduce a bigram model to construct a correlation between local features to capture

Beyond bags of features: Spatial pyramid matching for recognizing natural scene categories

by Cordelia Schmid - In CVPR
"... This paper presents a method for recognizing scene categories based on approximate global geometric correspondence. This technique works by partitioning the image into increasingly fine sub-regions and computing histograms of local features found inside each sub-region. The resulting “spatial pyrami ..."

Local features and kernels for classification of texture and object categories: a comprehensive study

by J. Zhang, S. Lazebnik, C. Schmid - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2007
"... Recently, methods based on local image features have shown promise for texture and object recognition tasks. This paper presents a large-scale evaluation of an approach that represents images as distributions (signatures or histograms) of features extracted from a sparse set of keypoint locations an ..."

The pyramid match kernel: Discriminative classification with sets of image features

by Kristen Grauman, Trevor Darrell - IN ICCV , 2005
"... Discriminative learning is challenging when examples are sets of features, and the sets vary in cardinality and lack any sort of meaningful ordering. Kernel-based classification methods can learn complex decision boundaries, but a kernel over unordered set inputs must somehow solve for correspondenc ..."

Histograms of Oriented Gradients for Human Detection

by Navneet Dalal, Bill Triggs - In CVPR , 2005
"... We study the question of feature sets for robust visual object recognition, adopting linear SVM based human detection as a test case. After reviewing existing edge and gradient based descriptors, we show experimentally that grids of Histograms of Oriented Gradient (HOG) descriptors significantly out ..."

Face description with local binary patterns: Application to face recognition

by Abdenour Hadid, Senior Member - IEEE Trans. Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 2006
"... Abstract—This paper presents a novel and efficient facial image representation based on local binary pattern (LBP) texture features. The face image is divided into several regions from which the LBP feature distributions are extracted and concatenated into an enhanced feature vector to be used as a ..."

Video google: A text retrieval approach to object matching in videos

by Josef Sivic, Andrew Zisserman - In ICCV , 2003
"... We describe an approach to object and scene retrieval which searches for and localizes all the occurrences of a user outlined object in a video. The object is represented by a set of viewpoint invariant region descriptors so that recognition can proceed successfully despite changes in viewpoint, ill ..."
