Preface

General paradigm in solving a computer vision problem is to represent a raw image using a more informative vector called feature vector and train a classifier on top of feature vectors collected from training set. From classification perspective, there are several off-the-shelf methods such as gradient boosting, random forest and support vector machines that are able to accurately model nonlinear decision boundaries. Hence, solving a computer vision problem mainly depends on the feature extraction algorithm. Feature extraction methods such as scale invariant feature transform, histogram of oriented gradients, bank of Gabor filters, local binary pattern, bag of features and Fisher vectors are some of the methods that performed well compared with their predecessors. These methods mainly create the feature vector in several steps. For example, scale in
