UIUC Image Database : Car Detection. Data This database contains images of side views of cars for use in evaluating object detection algorithms.
The images were collected at UIUC by Shivani Agarwal, Aatif Awan and Dan Roth, and were used in the experiments reported in [1], [2]. The download package contains the following: 1050 training images (550 car and 500 non-car images) 170 single-scale test images, containing 200 cars at roughly the same scale as in the training images 108 multi-scale test images, containing 139 cars at various scales Evaluation files README file The images are all grey-scale and are available in raw PGM format. The evaluation files provide a standardized method for evaluating different algorithms. The gzipped download file is around 7 MB; the unzipped data takes up around 14 MB.

Zdenek Kalal. Zdenek Kalal is a researcher in computer vision with the focus on real-time tracking of unknown objects. During his PhD and under suppervision of Dr. Krystian Mikolajczyk and Prof. Jiri Matas, Kalal developed an algorithm called TLD that stands for Tracking-Learning-Detection. The authors published 6 research papers, where TLD demonstrated significant improvement over state-of-the-art. TLD has been presented at competition UK ICT Pioneers 2011, where Kalal obtained a prize in category: "Technology Everywhere".
Kalal was invited for Google Tech Talk, Frontiers of Interaction conference, UK BBC radio and appeared in several magazines. 01.10.2011 -- Founded a start-up company TLD Vision s.r.o . 07.04.2011 -- TLD source code and supporting wiki and discussion group (~2000 members). 24.03.2011 -- ICT Pioneers 2011 Research Publications.

Peter's Functions for Computer Vision. To use these functions you will need MATLAB and the MATLAB Image Processing Toolbox.
You may also want to refer to the MATLAB documentation and the Image Processing Toolbox documentation Octave Alternatively you can use Octave which is a very good open source alternative to MATLAB. Almost all the functions on this page run under Octave. See my Notes on using Octave. An advantage of using Octave is that you can run it on your Android device. MATLAB/Octave compatibility of individual function is indicated as follows Runs under MATLAB and Octave.

Cheers, Peter Kovesi. The PASCAL Visual Object Classes Homepage. The PASCAL VOC project: Provides standardised image data sets for object class recognition Provides a common set of tools for accessing the data sets and annotations Enables evaluation and comparison of different methods Ran challenges evaluating performance on object class recognition (from 2005-2012, now finished) Pascal VOC data sets Data sets from the VOC challenges are available through the challenge links below, and evalution of new methods on these data sets can be achieved through the PASCAL VOC Evaluation Server.
The evaluation server will remain active even though the challenges have now finished. News. Discriminatively Trained Deformable Part Models (Release 5) Version 5 (Sept. 5, 2012) Introduction Over the past few years we have developed a complete learning-based system for detecting and localizing objects in images.
Our system represents objects using mixtures of deformable part models. These models are trained using a discriminative method that only requires bounding boxes for the objects in an image. The approach leads to efficient object detectors that achieve state of the art results on the PASCAL and INRIA person datasets. At a high level our system can be characterized by the combination of. VGG - Encoding Methods Evaluation. Ken Chatfield Victor Lempitsky Andrea Vedaldi Andrew Zisserman Overview The encoding methods evaluation toolkit provides a unified framework for evaluating bag-of-words based encoding methods over several standard image classification datasets.
Currently the following encoding methods are supported: Standard hard encoding Kernel codebook encoding Locality-constrained linear encoding NEW in version 1.1—Fisher kernel encoding With code provided to facilitate performance evaluation over the PASCAL VOC 2007 dataset. Version 1.1 Added support for Fisher kernel, bugfixes. Constrained Parametric Min-Cuts for Automatic Object Segmentation - Code.
