Abstract

Man-made object recognition from ground level image requires a fast and efficient approach especially in a large image database. Our work focuses on recognizing buildings based on a shape-based histogram descriptor. A 2-dimensional histogram is generated from gradient direction information of edge pixels and local spatial analysis of its neighbors. The edge direction histogram is a global representation of edge pixels. The neighborhood structure is coded in a 4-bit binary representation which offers a simple and efficient way to incorporate local spatial data into the histogram. We find that the proposed spatial neighboring histogram increases the retrieval precision by approximately 10% compared to other shape-based histogram methods.
