In this paper we empirically analyze the importance of sparsifying representations for classification purposes. We focus on those obtained by convolving images with linear filters, which can be either hand designed or learned, and perform extensive experim ...
Visual scene recognition deals with the problem of automatically recognizing the high-level semantic concept describing a given image as a whole, such as the environment in which the scene is occurring (e.g. a mountain), or the event that is taking place ( ...
The concept of symmetry has received significant attention in computer graphics and computer vision research in recent years. Numerous methods have been proposed to find, extract, encode and exploit geometric symmetries and high‐level structural informatio ...
A novel compressive sampling scheme suitable for highly scalable hardware implementations is presented. The prototype design is implemented in a 0.18um standard CMOS technology and utilizes compressed acquisition to boost the overall power efficiency. Spec ...
