| Abstract: | "Retrieving images from very large collections using image content as a key is becoming an important problem. Users prefer to ask for pictures using notions of content that are strongly oriented to the presence of objects, which are quite abstractly defined. Computer programs that implement these queries automatically are desirable but are hard to build be-cause conventional object recognition techniques from computer vision cannot recognize very general objects in very general contexts. This paper describes an approach to object recognition structured around a sequence of increasingly specialized grouping activities that assemble coherent regions of image that can be shown to satisfy increasingly stringent constraints. The constraints that are satisfied provide a form of object classification in quite general contexts. This view of recognition is distinguished by far richer involvement of early visual primitives, including color and texture; the ability to deal with rather general objects in uncontrolled configurations and contexts; and a satisfactory notion of classification. These properties are illustrated with three case studies: one demonstrates the use of descriptions that fuse color and spatial properties; one shows how trees can be de-scribed by fusing texture and geometric properties; and one shows how this view of recognition yields a program that can tell, quite accurately, whether a picture contains naked people or not." |
