Featureless Computer Vision

Administrator — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 06:58:47 +0000

This software accompanies the following paper:

Hilton Bristow and Simon Lucey, “V1-Inspired Features Induce a Weighted Margin in SVMs”, ECCV 2012.

This paper represents part of our group’s work on “Featureless Vision” – moving beyond hand-crafted features. In this particular paper, we show that a common V1-like processing pipeline can be reformulated exactly as a weighted margin in the SVM used for classification.

Coming soon!

Deformable Parts Modelling in OpenCV

Administrator — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 06:47:51 +0000

Object recognition using mixtures of deformable parts is a state-of-the-art technique for monocular object recognition. This piece of software is a C++ implementation of the detector described in the following paper:

Yi Yang, Deva Ramanan, “Articulated Pose Estimation with Flexible Mixtures-of-Parts”, CVPR 2011.

The software provides a unified way of detecting human bodies, faces or arbitrary objects (a number of pre-trained models are provided) using different training schema.

The software is fully multi-threaded and makes extensive use of OpenCV routines. More information and source code can be found at the following Github repository:

Github (https://github.com/wg-perception/PartsBasedDetector)

This work was done by Hilton Bristow in collaboration with Willow Garage, Inc.
