Title: Object Class Recognition by Unsupervised Scale-Invariant Learning
Author: R. Fergus1 P. Perona2 A. Zisserman1
Abstract:
We present a method to learn and recognize object class
models from unlabeled and unsegmented cluttered scenes
in a scale invariant manner. Objects are modeled as flexible
constellations of parts. A probabilistic representation is
used for all aspects of the object: shape, appearance, occlusion
and relative scale. An entropy-based feature detector
is used to select regions and their scale within the image. In
learning the parameters of the scale-invariant object model
are estimated. This is done using expectation-maximization
in a maximum-likelihood setting. In recognition, this model
is used in a Bayesian manner to classify images. The flexible
nature of the model is demonstrated by excellent results
over a range of datasets including geometrically constrained
classes (e.g. faces, cars) and flexible objects (such
as animals).
