Object Category Model
For each query image and training images, a constellation model is used for representation. To obtain this model for a given image, first a set of N interesting regions is detected in the image using the Kadir brady saliency detector. Each region selected is represented by a location in the image, and a description of its appearance, . Letting and and the analogous representations for training images, the expression for R becomes:
The likelihoods and are represented as mixtures of constellation models. A typical constellation model has P(3 ~ 7) parts, but there are N(~100) interest regions. Thus a P-dimensional vector h assigns one region of interest (out of N regions) to each model part (for P parts). Thus h denotes a hypothesis (an assignment of interest regions to model parts) for the model and a full constellation model is represented by summing over all possible hypotheses h in the hypothesis space . Finally the likelihood is written
The different 's represent different configurations of parts, whereas the different hypotheses h represent different assignations of regions to parts, given a part model . The assumption that the shape of the model (as represented by, the collection of part locations) and appearance are independent allows one to consider the likelihood expression as two separate likelihoods of appearance and shape.

Famous quotes containing the words object, category and/or model:
“A healthy soul stands united with the Just and the True, as the magnet arranges itself with the pole, so that he stands to all beholders like a transparent object betwixt them and the sun, and whoso journeys towards the sun, journeys towards that person. He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I see no reason for calling my work poetry except that there is no other category in which to put it.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“...that absolutely everything beloved and cherished of the bourgeoisie, the conservative, the cowardly, and the impotent—the State, family life, secular art and science—was consciously or unconsciously hostile to the religious idea, to the Church, whose innate tendency and permanent aim was the dissolution of all existing worldly orders, and the reconstitution of society after the model of the ideal, the communistic City of God.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
