Object Categorization presents foundations, original research and trends in the field of object categorization by computer vision methods. It provides a review of existing representations, algorithms, systems and databases for visual object categorization. It goes beyond a pure review of the area though, by including original research in categorization, presenting a prototype system for categorization, discussing the various databases and providing experimental results on object categorization and localization in still images. Object Categorization will serve as a valuable reference for...

Bildverstehen, Bilder und die ihnen zugrundeliegenden Szenen mit den darin vorkommenden Objekten verstehen und beschreiben, das bedeutet aus der Sicht der Informatik: Sehen mit dem Computer - Computer Vision . Das Buch behandelt neben wichtigen Merkmalen des menschlichen visuellen Systems auch die notigen Grundlagen aus digitaler Bildverarbeitung und aus kunstlicher Intelligenz. Im Zentrum steht die schrittweise Entwicklung eines neuen Systemmodells fur Bildverstehen, anhand dessen verschiedene "Abstraktionsebenen" des maschinellen Sehens, wie Segmentation, Gruppierung auf Aufbau einer...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 34th Symposium of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM 2012, and the 36th Symposium of the Austrian Association for Pattern Recognition, OAGM 2012, held in Graz, Austria, in August 2012. The 27 revised full papers and 23 revised poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 98 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on segmentation, low-level vision, 3D reconstruction, recognition, applications, learning, and features.
