Problem of Object Categorization

Object categorization is a typical task of computer vision which involves determining whether or not an image contains some specific category of object. The idea is closely related with recognition, identification, and detection. Appearance based object categorization typically contains feature extraction, learning a classifier, and applying the classifier to new examples. There are many ways to represent a category of objects, e.g. from shape analysis, bag of words models, or local descriptors such as SIFT, etc. Examples of supervised classifiers are Naive Bayes classifier, SVM, mixtures of Gaussians, neural network, etc. However, recent research has shown that object categories and their locations in images can be discovered in an unsupervised manner as well.

    The problem of induction is not a problem of demonstration but a problem of defining the difference between valid and invalid
    predictions.

    For, if a “good speaker,” never so eloquent, does not see into the fact, and is not speaking the truth of that ... is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?
