Learning Visual Scene Attributes

Take a look around you. How would you describe your surroundings to best give an idea of what everything looks like to someone not there? Maybe you will give a category to the scene, say, ‘bedroom’. You might try to list some of the objects around you, like ‘bed’, ‘lamp’, and ‘desk’. Or perhaps you’ll describe it with adjectives like ‘indoors’, ‘cozy’, and ‘cluttered’. In computer vision, (or more specifically, in scene understanding), the most effective way to describe a visual scene is also a major question.
