Are You a Convolution Filter Expert?

The idea behind convolutions is that it mimics the human visual system on the retina, with photoreceptive cells connected to following neurons through local connections.

A convolution filter is a local filter operation, described as a local information processing unit.

The bag-of-feature approach involves recognizing individual parts of an image using filter operations first, before classifying the whole image. This approach is similar to a single layer neural network, like convolution filters.

<p>The bag-of-feature approach is a past effort to object recognition where local parts of a global image, such as the nose, eyes, chin, and mouth, have to be recognized using some filter operation first.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>What was the approach taken in the past to recognize individual parts of an image using the bag-of-feature approach?</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>In the past, they learned a vocabulary in some unsupervised way to represent clusters of object parts and then quantized their representation in a vocabulary as a vocabulary entry. Then they would put some distributions on this and create some histograms of visual words.</p> Signup and view all the answers
