چکیده

The spatial pyramid and its variants have been among the most popular and successful models for object recognition. In these models, local visual features are coded across elements of a visual vocabulary, and then these codes are pooled into histograms at several spatial granularities. We introduce spatially local coding, an alternative way to include spatial information in the image model. Instead of only coding visual appearance and leaving the spatial coherence to be represented by the pooling stage, we include location as part of the coding step. This is a more flexible spatial representation as compared to the fixed grids used in the spatial pyramid models and we can use a simple, whole-image region during the pooling stage. We demonstrate that combining features with multiple levels of spatial locality performs better than using just a single level. Our model performs better than all previous single-feature methods when tested on the Caltech 101 and 256 object recognition datasets.

Application of Combined Local Object Based Features and Cluster Fusion for the Behaviors Recognition and Detection of Abnormal Behaviors

In this paper, we propose a novel framework for behaviors recognition and detection of certain types of abnormal behaviors, capable of achieving high detection rates on a variety of real-life scenes. The new proposed approach here is a combination of the location based methods and the object based ones. First, a novel approach is formulated to use optical flow and binary motion video as the loc...

Object Recognition based on Local Steering Kernel and SVM

The proposed method is to recognize objects based on application of Local Steering Kernels (LSK) as Descriptors to the image patches. In order to represent the local properties of the images, patch is to be extracted where the variations occur in an image. To find the interest point, Wavelet based Salient Point detector is used. Local Steering Kernel is then applied to the resultant pixels, in ...

Learning Directional Local Pairwise Bases with Sparse Coding

Recently, sparse coding has been receiving much attention in object and scene recognition tasks because of its superiority in learning an effective codebook over k-means clustering. However, empirically, such codebook requires a relatively large number of visual words, essentially bases, to achieve high recognition accuracy. Therefore, due to the combinatorial explosion of visual words, it is i...

Local Sparse Coding for Image Classification and Retrieval

The success of sparse representations in image modeling and recovery has motivated its use in computer vision applications. Object recognition has been effectively performed by aggregating sparse codes of local features in an image at multiple spatial scales. Though sparse coding guarantees a highfidelity representation, it does not exploit the dependence between the local features. By incorpor...

A novel Local feature descriptor using the Mercator projection for 3D object recognition

Point cloud processing is a rapidly growing research area of computer vision. Introducing of cheap range sensors has made a great interest in the point cloud processing and 3D object recognition. 3D object recognition methods can be divided into two categories: global and local feature-based methods. Global features describe the entire model shape whereas local features encode the neighborhood ...
