[VASC Seminar]Three Power-ups for Object Class Recognition

Date: Oct 11, Thursday
Speaker: Marcin Marszalek, INRIA

We will present our recent work from CVPR'07 and describe our winning
method for Pascal VOC Challenge 2007. The talk will therefore consist of
three parts. First, we will introduce shape masks and describe how they
are used for accurate object localization (CVPR'07 oral). Second, we will
show how we learn representations for image classification using a genetic
algorithm (Pascal VOC'07 winning method). Finally, we will discuss the use
of semantic hierarchies for visual object recognition, which is the
current main focus of our research.
