Abstract

Due to the lack of non-zero gradients around the structures in the less textured scenes, current local feature can hardly be applied in less textured object detection. To deal with this issue, two types of local structures, namely, corner and closed region are proposed in this paper. They are based on purely object contours, which are easier to obtain in less textured scenes. Compare to existing detectors, these features describe objects’ local structures in a better way. In addition, these new type of local structures also bring the advantage that allows us to have different level of abstraction on the object structures. Its effectiveness has been evaluated under various transformations.
