Cumulative object categorization in clutter
In this paper we present an approach based on scene- or part-graphs for geometrically categorizing touching and
occluded objects. We use additive RGBD feature descriptors and hashing of graph configuration parameters for describing the spatial arrangement of constituent parts. The presented experiments quantify that this method outperforms our earlier part-voting and sliding window classification. We evaluated our approach on cluttered scenes, and by using a 3D dataset containing over 15000 Kinect scans of over 100 objects which were grouped into general geometric categories. Additionally, color, geometric, and combined features were compared for categorization tasks
Adding Cues to Binary Feature Descriptors for Visual Place Recognition
In this paper we propose an approach to embed continuous and selector cues in
binary feature descriptors used for visual place recognition. The embedding is
achieved by extending each feature descriptor with a binary string that encodes
a cue and supports the Hamming distance metric. Augmenting the descriptors in
such a way has the advantage of being transparent to the procedure used to
compare them. We present two concrete applications of our methodology,
demonstrating the two considered types of cues. In addition to that, we
conducted on these applications a broad quantitative and comparative evaluation
covering five benchmark datasets and several state-of-the-art image retrieval
approaches in combination with various binary descriptor types.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, source: www.gitlab.com/srrg-software/srrg_bench,
