Discovering objects and their location in images by Sivic, J, Russell, BC, Efros, AA, Zisserman, A, Freeman, WT

“…The model is applied to images by using a visual analogue of a word, formed by vector quantizing SIFT-like region descriptors. The topic discovery approach successfully translates to the visual domain: for a small set of objects, we show that both the object categories and their approximate spatial layout are found without supervision. …”
