Subspace Methods in Computer Visionby Horst Bischof,
DI.Dr. Graz University of Technology Inst. for Graphics and
Vision
Abstract: Subspace
methods have become a standard tool in the vision community
to perform visual learning and recognition. These methods are
based on principles originally used for statistical pattern
recognition. Visual information is treated in a
direct---view-based manner. Therefore, these methods are
not limited by objects' geometric complexity, texture, or surface
markings. This direct representation and the link to statistical
pattern recognition make these methods much more suitable for
learning.
In this presentation we will review the basic
ideas of subspace methods for visual learning and recognition. We
will address both supervised and unsupervised methods such as
Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis
(LDA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and Canonical
Correlation Analysis (CCA). All the concepts
introduced throughout the tutorial will be demonstrated on the
tasks such as object recognition and visual localization of a
mobile robot using
panoramic images.
