Abstract
We propose a novel approach for object class recognition using scale invariant features and Gaussian Processes as our kernel-based classifier. We measure the performance of this approach in two stages: predicting the presence of a class of objects in images and localizing them. Our object class recognition method is comparable to other state-of-the-art approaches. Furthermore, we propose sophisticated numerical methods for reducing the computational cost of Gaussian Processes. Speed-ups are achieved using Krylov Subspace and Dual-Tree methods. We also reduced the storage requirement from O(M 2) to O(M). We trained and tested our algorithms on the PASCAL collection of images, which is a common database in this research area. ii Contents Abstract ii
