In this paper we propose a method for logo recognition using deep learning. Our recognition pipeline is composed of a logo region proposal followed by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) specifically trained for logo classification, even if they are not precisely localized. Experiments are carried out on the FlickrLogos-32 database, and we evaluate the effect on recognition performance of synt...

We present the first experimental evidence to our knowledge that ingroup relations attenuate core disgust and that this helps explain the ability of groups to coact. In study 1, 45 student participants smelled a sweaty t-shirt bearing the logo of another university, with either their student identity (ingroup condition), their specific university identity (outgroup condition), or their personal...

Storefront brand image (logo) recognition has many useful applications. Various methods have been proposed using local and global feature matching; however, logo recognition continues to be a challenging area; unlike nature scene images, which are rich in texture details, brand images often lack texture variation, and therefore provide fewer feature points for matching. In addition, reference a...

This paper discusses the implementation of imrestaurant(), a MATLAB function for feature-based restaurant logo recognition. The algorithm works by first applying SIFT to a logo database and then creating a hierarchical vocabulary tree using K-means clustering. The input to the algorithm is a photograph of an image logo, which is first filtered to reduce noise. Then SIFT is applied to the input ...

A procedure for logo watermarking of speech signals is proposed. In order to take full advantage of both time and frequency domain, we have used joint time-frequency representation of speech signal, which provides a more comprehensive information compared to each domain individually. Time-frequency based selection of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) coefficients is used for logo embedding. ...

In the paper, a new recognition method for logos imaged by mobile phone cameras is presented which can be incorporated with mobile phone services for use in enterprise identification, corporate website access, traffic sign reading, security check, content awareness, and the related applications. The main challenge in applying the logo recognition for mobile phone applications is the inevitable ...

A video logo is usually a declaration of the video copyright. However it sometimes causes visual discomfort due to the presence of multiple logos in videos that have been filed and exchanged by different channels. In this paper, we present an approach to erase logos from video clips. Based on the histogram energy analysis of the relevant video frames, we obtain the best quality logo frame that ...
