IJCV paper on completeness measure for feature detectors accepted
An extension of our 2009 BMVC paper has been accepted for publication in the International Journal of Computer Vision. Besides a more detailed evaluation on the completenss of combinations of local feature detectors, it covers the theory for a new sparse keypoint detector based on the maximum entropy principle. The print version of the paper will appear in summer 2010 on springerlink.com.
ICVS'09 proceedings published as google book
The Springer proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems held 2009 in Liege, Belgium are published in google books. My own contribution "Evaluating the Suitability of Feature Detectors for Automatic Image Orientation Systems" can be found here.
British Machine Vision Conference available on Video
My oral presentation about the "Completeness of Coding with Image Features" at the British Machine Vision Conference 2009 in London has been recorded on video. It is now available at videolectures.net. If you're interested in the work, read the full paper.
I highly recommend listening to Alyosha Efros's invited talk, "What can the world tell us about an image?", and Andrew Fitzgibbon's motivating two-hour Tutorial on continuous optimization, covering parts of Triggs' excellent survey of bundle adjustment techniques.
