Experiment 8

Geometric transformation of template

In experiment 8, we transform a template by dilation, rotation, and changing the aspect ratio.

Negative experience in Experiment 8. We encountered some difficulty with the bicycle template. When the viewing distance is close, the size of one wheel can be larger than the size of the other wheel, so a single scale factor does not give very good fit. Also, the frontal wheel may turn to a different direction than the back wheel. The above difficulty suggests that we should better split the bicycle template into two part-templates, and each part-template has its own geometric transformation. We study the composition of multiple part-templates in Experiment 7.

The codes in this experiment are not optimized for speed.
(1.1) Code that pools q() from 2 large natural images (May 2009)



Experiment 8.1. The 27 images are 180*180. Number of elements is 60. eps


Experiment 8.1. The number of elements is 60. The image size is 252 $\times$ 320. The scale factor is 1.4. The rotation is 1 $\times$ pi/15. The aspect factor is 0.9 eps


Experiment 8.1. The image size is 200 $\times$ 250. The scale factor is 1.4. The rotation is 1 $\times$ pi/15. The aspect factor is 1. eps


Experiment 8.1. The image size is 248 $\times$ 232. The scale factor is 1.2. The rotation is -1 $\times$ pi/15. The aspect factor is 0.6. eps

(1.2) Code with local normalization of filter responses (September 2009)



Experiment 8.1. Location normalization with a window whose half size is 20x20. The allowed shift in location is up to 3 pixels. eps
