One Day BMVA symposium London, UK. 22nd March 2006
Chair: Richard Bowden, CVSSP, University of Surrey
The development and exploitation of techniques such as AdaBoost and Salient
regions (to name but two) have brought about a new level of performance in
robust object detection. Little or no a priori information of object
location or pose is used. Detection is often performed over the entire
image space (scale and translation) and many detection schemes are affine
invariant. Such approaches, in many ways, are contrary to the general
assumptions of tracking where motion dynamics and local search strategies
are actively used to localise detection and achieve temporal consistency in
object labelling. This symposium does not support either school but seeks
to provoke stimulating discussion around the benefits or disadvantages of
approaches. Work in either robust, fast detection or novel tracking
approaches are welcome but specific importance will be given to liminal
work which attempts to bring these approaches together.
