Visual Scene Representations: Contrast, Scaling and Occlusion

20 Dec 2014  ·  Stefano Soatto, Jingming Dong, Nikolaos Karianakis ·

We study the structure of representations, defined as approximations of minimal sufficient statistics that are maximal invariants to nuisance factors, for visual data subject to scaling and occlusion of line-of-sight. We derive analytical expressions for such representations and show that, under certain restrictive assumptions, they are related to features commonly in use in the computer vision community. This link highlights the condition tacitly assumed by these descriptors, and also suggests ways to improve and generalize them. This new interpretation draws connections to the classical theories of sampling, hypothesis testing and group invariance.
