Technical Perspective: Progress in Visual Categorization
Our visual system helps us carry out our daily business. Our eyes and brain help us by measuring shapes, trajectories, and distances in world around us, and by recognizing materials, objects, and scenes. Can we reproduce these abilities in a machine?
Visual Object Detection with Deformable Part Models
We describe a state-of-the-art system for finding objects in cluttered images. Our system is based on deformable models that represent objects using local part templates and geometric constraints on the locations of parts.
Whether it is acting as a conduit, an editor, or an advisor, the search engine should put user interests first.
