Region-based correspondence (RBC) is a highly relevant and non-trivial computer vision problem. Given two 3D shapes, RBC seeks segments/regions on these shapes that can be reliably put in correspondence. The problem thus consists both in finding the regions and determining the correspondences between them. This problem statement is similar to that of “biclustering ”, implying that RBC can be cast...
Recent works investigated the possibility to design solutions for pattern recognition problems by exploiting the huge amount of work done in bioinformatics. If the pattern recognition problem is cast in biological terms, then a huge range of algorithms, exploitable for classification, detection, visualization, etc. can be effectively borrowed. In this paper, we exploit biological sequence alignment...
In this paper a novel 2D shape recognition approach is proposed. The main idea is to exploit in this context the huge amount of work carried out by bioinformati-cians in the biological sequence analysis research field. In the proposed approach, we encode shapes as biological sequences, employing standard and well established sequence alignment tools to devise a similarity score, finally used in a...
Generative kernels have emerged in the last years as an effective method for mixing discriminative and generative approaches. In particular, in this paper, we focus on kernels defined on generative models with latent variables (e.g. the states in a Hidden Markov Model). The basic idea underlying these kernels is to compare objects, via a inner product, in a feature space where the dimensions are related...
In this paper, a novel approach for contour based 2D shape recognition is proposed, using a class of information theoretic kernels recently introduced. This kind of kernels, based on a non-extensive generalization of the classical Shannon information theory, are defined on probability measures. In the proposed approach, chain code representations are first extracted from the contours; then n-gram...
Generative embeddings use generative probabilistic models to project objects into a vectorial space of reduced dimensionality - where the so-called generative kernels can be defined. Some of these approaches employ generative models on latent variables to project objects into a feature space where the dimensions are related to the latent variables. Here, we propose to enhance the discriminative power...
