Suppose we have
images that may contain a tank, but
|
|
|
with a cluttered
background.
|
|
• |
To recognize
which ones contain a tank, it is no good
|
|
|
computing a
global similarity
|
|
|
– |
A
non-tank test image may have a very similar
|
|
|
background
to a tank training image, so it will have
|
|
|
very
high similarity if the tanks are only a small
|
|
|
fraction
of the image.
|
|
• |
We need local features that are appropriate for the task.
|
|
So they must be
learned, not pre-specified.
|
|
• |
Its very
appealing to convert a learning problem to a
|
|
|
convex
optimization problem
|
|
|
– |
but we may end up by ignoring aspects of
the real
|
|
|
learning
problem in order to make it convex.
