Comparing object templates learned by active basis model and adaboost

The figures below show learned image templates as active basis template or adaboost classifiers (with 400 negative examples). In each figure, the top-left template illustrates the selected Gabor elements, where each selected Gabor element is represented by a bar of the same size. Following the template we show in pairs the original example image together the deformed template for that particular image. These example images and deformed templates are ranked by their likelihood scores in descending order. The weak classifiers of the adaboost template are created by thresholding Gabor responses. A red bar means the weak classifier is true when the response is larger than a threshold. Otherwise it is denoted by a blue bar.



cow
