Insights From Data
Object localization using spatial priors
Choosing the right color space
10. Why Object Localization?
10
Cluttered background degrades performance.
State-of-the-art segmentation too expensive.
Need a fast and reliable solution!
Spatial Prior to the rescue!
15. Faster Lookup via k-center
15
Scaling via backend clustering/indexing.
Potential for semantic/intent diversification
- e.g. query t-shirt image where you like style but not colors
Achieves 60x speedup close to 70% overlap!
Median speed-up Median %-overlap
