In order to extract representative local invariant regions in textured natural images, we propose a Color-Contrast-MSER (CCM) detector with color-contrast pixel ranking, which can reduce the number of meaningless regions extracted from backgrounds. The main contributions are threefold: (1) In contrast with the original MSER[3] which adopts intensity pixel ranking, we develop a new pixel ranking mechanism based on color contrast analysis. (2) In this paper, the pixel ranking value of each pixel is defined as the color contrast between a kernel-sized window and the background. Therefore we propose an adaptive background scale selection mechanism that simulates the background color distribution as the benchmark for color contrast. (3) The experimental results demonstrate that compared with the original MSER detector[3], our Color-Contrast-MSER (CCM) detector can extract more representative local regions with competitive repeatability score at only 50% computational time and 10% memory cost.

Local features have been widely used in many computer vision related researches, such as near-duplicate image and video retrieval. However, the storage and query cost of local features become prohibitive on large-scale database. In this paper, we propose a representative local features mining method to generate a compact but more effective feature subset. First, we do an unsupervised annotation for all similar images(or frames in video) in the database. Second, we compute a comprehensive score for every local feature. The score function combines the robustness and discrimination. Finally, we sort all the local features in an image by their scores and the low-score local features can be removed. The selected local features are robust and discriminative, which can guarantee the better retrieval quality than using full of the original feature set. By our method, the number of local features can be significantly reduced and a large amount of storage and computational cost can be saved. The experimental results show that we can use 30% of the features to get a better query performance than that of full feature set.

In this paper, we propose a Generalized Unsupervised Manifold Alignment (GU-MA) method to build the connections between different but correlated datasets without any known correspondences. Based on the assumption that datasets of the same theme usually have similar manifold structures, GUMA is formulated into an explicit integer optimization problem considering the structure matching and preserving criteria, as well as the feature comparability of the corresponding points in the mutual embedding space. The main benefits of this model include: (1) simultaneous discovery and alignment of manifold structures; (2) fully unsuper-vised matching without any pre-specified correspondences; (3) efficient iterative alignment without computations in all permutation cases. Experimental results on dataset matching and real-world applications demonstrate the effectiveness and the practicability of our manifold alignment method.

Recently, several binary descriptors are proposed, which represent interest points in image using binary codes. In these binary feature schemes, two descriptors are considered as a match, if the Hamming distance between them is below a threshold. Applying Hamming distance to measure the similarity between binary descriptors can extremely promote the computational efficiency. However, our experimental results presents that there exists a large number of bits in the binary feature vector cannot maintain the robustness while image conditions change. Rather than ignore the impacts of those unstable bits, we take into account the difference of robustness among the feature bits and propose a novel similarity measurement, which called the Fragile Bit Ratio (FBR). FBR is used in binary feature matching to measure how two features differ. High FBRs are associated with genuine matches between two binary features and low FBRs are associated with impostor ones. Based on this metric, we propose a new binary feature matching scheme to fuse the Hamming distance and Fragile Bit Ratio. In our approach, we match the descriptors using the Hamming distance threshold roughly, and then filtered by the Fragile Bits Ratio to refine the candidate set. In experiments, using Fragile Bits Radio can effectively remove the false matches and highly improve the accuracy of image search. Furthermore, our method can easily be integrated into the other well-established binary features schemes.

Collecting massive commonsense knowledge (CSK) for commonsense reasoning has been a long time standing challenge within artificial intelligence research. Numerous methods and systems for acquiring CSK have been developed to overcome the knowledge acquisition bottleneck. Although some specific commonsense reasoning tasks have been presented to allow researchers to measure and compare the performance of their CSK systems, we compare them at a higher level from the following aspects: CSK acquisition task (what CSK is acquired from where), technique used (how can CSK be acquired), and CSK evaluation methods (how to evaluate the acquired CSK). In this survey, we first present a categorization of CSK acquisition systems and the great challenges in the field. Then, we review and compare the CSK acquisition systems in detail. Finally, we conclude the current progress in this field and explore some promising future research issues.
