Summary:
Contemporary computer vision solutions to the problem of object detection aim at incorporating contextual information into the process. This thesis proposes a systematic evaluation of the usefulness of incorporating knowledge about the geometric context of a scene into a baseline object detection algorithm based on local features. This research extends publicly available MATLABRª implementations of leading algorithms in the field and integrates them in a coherent and extensible way. Experiments are presented to compare the performance and accuracy between baseline and context-based detectors, using images from the recently published SUN09 dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that adding contextual information about the geometry of the scene improves the detector performance over the baseline case in 50% of the tested cases.
