Multi-scale keypoint annotation - a biological approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The primary visual cortex employs simple, complex and end-stopped cells to create a scale space of 1D singularities (lines and edges) and of 2D singularities (line and edge junctions and crossings called keypoints). In this paper we show first results of a biological model which attributes information of the local image structure to keypoints at all scales, ie junction type (L, T, +) and main line/edge orientations. Keypoint annotation in combination with coarse to fine scale processing facilitates various processes, such as image matching (stereo and optical flow), object segregation and object tracking.

A Biological Motivated Multi-scale Keypoint Detector for local 3D Descriptors
Most object recognition algorithms use a large number of descriptors extracted in a dense grid, so they have a very high computational cost, preventing real-time processing. The use of keypoint detectors allows the reduction of the processing time and the amount of redundancy in the data. Local descriptors extracted from images have been extensively reported in the computer vision literature. I...
متن کاملMulti-Scale Structure-Aware Network for Human Pose Estimation
We develop a robust multi-scale structure-aware neural network for human pose estimation. This method improves the recent deep conv-deconv hourglass models with four key improvements: (1) multi-scale supervision to strengthen contextual feature learning in matching body keypoints by combining feature heatmaps across scales, (2) multi-scale regression network at the end to globally optimize the ...
متن کاملMulti-scale Cortical Keypoint Representation for Attention and Object Detection
Keypoints (junctions) provide important information for focus-of-attention (FoA) and object categorization/recognition. In this paper we analyze the multi-scale keypoint representation, obtained by applying a linear and quasi-continuous scaling to an optimized model of cortical end-stopped cells, in order to study its importance and possibilities for developing a visual, cortical architecture. ...
متن کاملMultiscale keypoint hierarchy for Focus-of-Attention and object detection
Hypercolumns in area V1 contain frequencyand orientation-selective simple and complex cells for line (bar) and edge coding, plus end-stopped cells for keypoint (vertex) detection. A single-scale (single-frequency) mathematical model of single and double end-stopped cells on the basis of Gabor filter responses was developed by Heitger et al. (1992 Vision Research 32 963-981). We developed an imp...
متن کاملFace recognition based on the multi-scale local image structures
This paper proposes a framework of face recognition based on the multi-scale local structures of the face image. While some basic tools in this framework are inherited from the SIFT algorithm, this work investigates and contributes to all major steps in the feature extraction and image matching. New approaches to keypoint detection, partial descriptor and insignificant keypoint removal are prop...
