Supervised scale-regularized linear convolutionary filters

We start by demonstrating that an elementary learning task—learning a linear filter from training data by means of regression—can be solved very efficiently for feature spaces of very high dimensionality. In a second step, firstly, acknowledging that such high-dimensional learning tasks typically benefit from some form of regularization and,...

The Improbability of Harris Interest Points

An elementary characterization of the map underlying Harris corners, also known as Harris interest points or key points, is provided. Two principal and basic assumptions made are: 1) Local image structure is captured in an uncommitted way, simply using weighted raw image values around every image location to describe the local image information,...
