An extended set of Haar-like features for rapid objection detection

by Rainer Lienhart, Jochen Maydt - IEEE ICIP
"... Recently Viola et al. [5] have introduced a rapid object detection scheme based on a boosted cascade of simple feature classifiers. In this paper we introduce a novel set of rotated haar-like features. These novel features significantly enrich the simple features of [5] and can also be calculated ef ..."

Geodesic Active Contours

by Vicent Caselles, Ron Kimmel, Guillermo Sapiro , 1997
"... A novel scheme for the detection of object boundaries is presented. The technique is based on active contours evolving in time according to intrinsic geometric measures of the image. The evolving contours naturally split and merge, allowing the simultaneous detection of several objects and both in ..."

SURF: Speeded Up Robust Features

by Herbert Bay, Tinne Tuytelaars, Luc Van Gool - ECCV
"... Abstract. In this paper, we present a novel scale- and rotation-invariant interest point detector and descriptor, coined SURF (Speeded Up Ro-bust Features). It approximates or even outperforms previously proposed schemes with respect to repeatability, distinctiveness, and robustness, yet can be comp ..."

these methods to the essential. This leads to a combination of novel detection, description, and matching steps. The paper presents experimental results on a standard evaluation set, as well as on imagery obtained in the context of a real-life object recognition application. Both show SURF’s strong performance

Empirical Analysis of Detection Cascades of Boosted Classifiers for Rapid Object Detection

Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms: Analyzing the State-of-the-Art

by David A. Van Veldhuizen, Gary B. Lamont , 2000
"... Solving optimization problems with multiple (often conflicting) objectives is, generally, a very difficult goal. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) were initially extended and applied during the mid-eighties in an attempt to stochastically solve problems of this generic class. During the past decade, ..."

Contextual Priming for Object Detection

by Antonio Torralba - IJCV , 2003
"... There is general consensus that context can be a rich source of information about an object's identity, location and scale. In fact, the structure of many real-world scenes is governed by strong configurational rules akin to those that apply to a single object. Here we introduce a simple framew ..."

framework for modeling the relationship between context and object properties based on the correlation between the statistics of low-level features across the entire scene and the objects that it contains. The resulting scheme serves as an effective procedure for object priming, context driven focus

Shape Indexing Using Approximate Nearest-Neighbour Search in High-Dimensional Spaces

by Jeffrey S. Beis , David G. Lowe , 1997
"... Shape indexing is a way of making rapid associations between features detected in an image and object models that could have produced them. When model databases are large, the use of high-dimensional features is critical, due to the improved level of discrimination they can provide. Unfortunately, f ..."
