Head pose estimation is an important part of the field face analysis technology. It can be applied to driver attention monitoring, passenger effective information screening, etc. However, illumination changes and partial occlusion interfere with task, due non-stationary characteristic head change process, normal regression networks are unable achieve very accurate results on large-scale synthet...

We present PPFNet Point Pair Feature NETwork for deeply learning a globally informed 3D local feature descriptor to find correspondences in unorganized point clouds. PPFNet learns local descriptors on pure geometry and is highly aware of the global context, an important cue in deep learning. Our 3D representation is computed as a collection of point-pair-features combined with the points and no...

Pattern clustering is an important data analysis process useful in a wide spectrum of computer vision applications. In addition to choosing the appropriate clustering methods, particular attention should be paid to the choice of the features describing patterns in order to improve the clustering performance. This paper presents a novel feature descriptor, referred as Histogram of Structure Tens...

In this chapter we examine several concepts related to local feature descriptor design— namely local patterns, shapes, spectra, distance functions, classification, matching, and object recognition. The main focus is local feature metrics, as shown in Figure 4-1. This discussion follows the general vision taxonomy that will be presented in Chapter 5, and includes key fundamentals for understandi...

This paper describes a visual shape descriptor based on the sectors and shape context of contour lines to represent the image local features used for image matching. The proposed descriptor consists of two-component feature vectors. First, the local region is separated into sectors and their gradient magnitude and orientation values are extracted; a feature vector is then constructed from these...

This paper proposes an augmented version of local feature that enhances the discriminative power of the feature without affecting its invariance to image deformations. The idea is about learning local features, aiming to estimate its semantic, which is then exploited in conjunction with the bag of words paradigm to build an augmented feature descriptor. Basically, any local descriptor can be ca...

In image registration or matching, the feature extracted by using traditional methods does not include depth information which may lead to a mismatch of keypoints. this paper, we prove that when camera moves, ratio difference keypoint and its neighbor pixel before after movement approximates constant. That means normalization is invariant movement. Based on property, all differences pixels cons...

Subspace learning based pattern recognition methods have attracted considerable interests in recent years, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and some extensions for 2D analysis. However, a disadvantage of all these approaches is that they perform subspace analysis directly on the reshaped vector or matrix of p...

The technical core of our approach is a new shape descriptor that embraces both local geometry information and global structure information in an integra...
