Joint Distribution of Local Image Features for Appearance Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an improved local appearance and color modeling method, as an extension of Moghaddam & Zhou [lo], for object detection and recognition in cluttered scenes. The approach is based on the joint distribution of local feature vectors at multiple salient points and factorization with Independent Component Analysis (ICA). We we are able to obtain a tractable set of joint probability densities which can model highorder dependencies in local image features. In this work we replace multi-dimensional histograms with Gaussian mixture models with model-order selection based on the Minimum Description Length (MDL) criterion. Furthermore, a hybrid color/appearance modeling scheme is introduced which significantly increases performance.

Automatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...

In this paper we present a probabilistic framework for tracking regions based on their appearance. We exploit the feature-spatial distribution of a region representing an object as a probabilistic constraint to track that region over time. The tracking is achieved by maximizing a similaritybased objective function over transformation space given a nonparametric representation of the joint featu...
