Title
Learning Hyper-Features for Visual Identification
Abstract
We address the problem of identifying specific instances of a class (cars) from a set of images all belonging to that class. Although we cannot build a model for any particular instance (as we may be provided with only one "training" example of it), we can use information extracted from observ- ing other members of the class. We pose this task as a learning problem, in which the learner is given image pairs, labeled as matching or not, and must discover which image features are most consistent for matching in- stances and discriminative for mismatches. We explore a patch based representation, where we model the distributions of similarity measure- ments defined on the patches. Finally, we describe an algorithm that selects the most salient patches based on a mutual information criterion. This algorithm performs identification well for our challenging dataset of car images, after matching only a few, well chosen patches.
