The visual recognition problem is central to computer vision research. From robotics to information retrieval, many desired applications demand the ability to identify and localize categories, places, and objects. This tutorial overviews computer vision algorithms for visual object recognition and image classification. We introduce primary representations and learning approaches, with an emphasis on recent advances in the field. The target audience consists of researchers or students working in AI, robotics, or vision who would like to understand what methods and representations are available for these problems. This lecture summarizes what is and isn't possible to do reliably today, and overviews key concepts that could be employed in systems requiring visual categorization. Table of Contents: Introduction / Overview: Recognition of Specific Objects / Local Features: Detection and Description / Matching Local Features / Geometric Verification of Matched Features / Example Systems: Specific-Object Recognition / Overview: Recognition of Generic Object Categories / Representations for Object Categories / Generic Object Detection: Finding and Scoring Candidates / Learning Generic Object Category Models / Example Systems: Generic Object Recognition / Other Considerations and Current Challenges / Conclusions

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems, ICVS 2013, held in St. Petersburg, Russia, July 16-18, 2013. Proceedings. The 16 revised papers presented with 20 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 94 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on image and video capture; visual attention and object detection; self-localization and pose estimation; motion and tracking; 3D reconstruction; features, learning and validation.
