Kashif Ahmad, Nasir Ahmad, Kamal Haider, Muhammad Jawad Ikram . Effect of Salient Features in Object Recognition. International Journal of Computer Applications. 61, 13 ( January 2013), 34-39. DOI=10.5120/9991-4839
With the SIFT and SURF based recognition, the paper presents the impact of salient features in object recognition. We use the two well-known image descriptors in the bag of words framework on five online available standard datasets. Experiments show that by introducing saliency in the bag of words model, state-of-the-art performance can still be retained while reducing considerable amount of data processing and thus achieving faster execution times.
