Composed complex-cue histograms: An investigation of the information content in receptive field based image descriptors for object recognition

O Linde, T Lindeberg - Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 2012 - Elsevier
Recent work has shown that effective methods for recognizing objects and spatio-temporal
events can be constructed based on histograms of receptive field like image operations. This
paper presents the results of an extensive study of the performance of different types of
receptive field like image descriptors for histogram-based object recognition, based on
different combinations of image cues in terms of Gaussian derivatives or differential
invariants applied to either intensity information, color-opponent channels or both. A rich set …
