Complex composite derivative and its application to edge detection by Pan, Xiang, Ye, Yongqiang, Wang, Jianhong, Gao, Xudong, He, Chun, Wang, Danwei, Jiang, Bin, Li, Lihua

“…Both objective and subjective comparisons with other edge detectors are carried out, including evaluations through the use of the benchmark Berkeley Segmentation Dataset (BSDS500). In contrast with the classical first-order derivative, the composite derivative is order-steerable; one can adjust the orders of fractional integration and derivative to tune magnitude characteristic and reach a compromise between sensitivity to noise and detection accuracy.…”

A sparse object category model for efficient learning and exhaustive recognition by Fergus, R, Perona, P, Zisserman, A

“…We present a "parts and structure" model for object category recognition that can be learnt efficiently and in a semi-supervised manner: the model is learnt from example images containing category instances, without requiring segmentation from background clutter. The model is a sparse representation of the object, and consists of a star topology configuration of parts modeling the output of a variety of feature detectors. …”
