View subspaces for indexing and retrieval of 3D models
View-based indexing schemes for 3D object retrieval are gaining popularity
since they provide good retrieval results. These schemes are coherent with the
theory that humans recognize objects based on their 2D appearances. The
viewbased techniques also allow users to search with various queries such as
binary images, range images and even 2D sketches. The previous view-based
techniques use classical 2D shape descriptors such as Fourier invariants,
Zernike moments, Scale Invariant Feature Transform-based local features and 2D
Digital Fourier Transform coefficients. These methods describe each object
independent of others. In this work, we explore data driven subspace models,
such as Principal Component Analysis, Independent Component Analysis and
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization to describe the shape information of the
views. We treat the depth images obtained from various points of the view
sphere as 2D intensity images and train a subspace to extract the inherent
structure of the views within a database. We also show the benefit of
categorizing shapes according to their eigenvalue spread. Both the shape
categorization and data-driven feature set conjectures are tested on the PSB
database and compared with the competitor view-based 3D shape retrieval

Location recognition over large time lags
Would it be possible to automatically associate ancient pictures to modern ones and create fancy cultural heritage city maps? We introduce here the task of recognizing the location depicted in an old photo given modern annotated images collected from the Internet. We present an extensive analysis on different features, looking for the most discriminative and most robust to the image variability induced by large time lags. Moreover, we show that the described task benefits from domain adaptation
