Region descriptors for automatic classification of small sea targets in infrared video

We evaluate the performance of different key-point detectors and region descriptors when used for automatic classification of small sea targets in infrared video. In our earlier research performed on this subject as well as in other literature, many different region descriptors have been proposed. However, it is unclear which methods are most...

Operating characteristics for the design and optimisation of classification systems

In statistical pattern recognition, problems involve distinguishing of various concepts or classes, based on the development of classifiers/discriminators. These exploit discriminatory information existing in measurements originating from objects. A trained classifier results in a partitioning in measurement space, providing some separation...
