Learning Pairwise Dissimilarity Profiles for Appearance Recognition in Visual Surveillance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Training discriminative classifiers for a large number of classes is a challenging problem due to increased ambiguities between classes. In order to better handle the ambiguities and to improve the scalability of classifiers to larger number of categories, we learn pairwise dissimilarity profiles (functions of spatial location) between categories and adapt them into nearest neighbor classification. We introduce a dissimilarity distance measure and linearly or nonlinearly combine it with direct distances. We illustrate and demonstrate the approach mainly in the context of appearance-based person recognition.

The dissimilarity space: Bridging structural and statistical pattern recognition
Human experts constitute pattern classes of natural objects based on their observed appearance. Automatic systems for pattern recognition may be designed on a structural description derived from sensor observations. Alternatively, training sets of examples can be used in statistical learning procedures. They are most powerful for vectorial object representations. Unfortunately, structural descr...
متن کاملDissimilarity-based people re-identification and search for intelligent video surveillance
Intelligent video-surveillance is at present one of the most active research fields in computer science. It brings together a wide variety of computer vision and machine learning techniques to provide useful tools for surveillance operators and forensic video analytics. Person re-identification is among these tools; it consists of recognising whether an individual has already been observed over...

Person re-identification consists of recognizing an individual who has previously been observed over a camera network. It is a recently introduced computer vision task that can provide useful tools for many applications of video-surveillance. Person re-identification exhibits several challenging issues. Most notable ones are pose variations, partial occlusions, and changing lighting conditions....

متن کاملComposite Kernel Optimization in Semi-Supervised Metric
Machine-learning solutions to classification, clustering and matching problems critically depend on the adopted metric, which in the past was selected heuristically. In the last decade, it has been demonstrated that an appropriate metric can be learnt from data, resulting in superior performance as compared with traditional metrics. This has recently stimulated a considerable interest in the to...
