     5 * Object Recognition from Local Scale-Invariant Features, David G. Lowe

     6   

     7   This is the famous SIFT paper that is mentioned everywhere.

     8 

     9   This is a way to find objects in images given an image of that

    10   object. It is moderately risistant to variations in the sample image

    11   and the target image. Basically, this is a fancy way of picking out

    12   a test pattern embedded in a larger pattern. It would fail to learn

    13   anything resembling object categories, for instance. Usefull concept

    14   is the idea of storing the local scale and rotation of each feature

    15   as it is extracted from the image, then checking to make sure that

    16   proposed matches all more-or-less agree on shift, rotation, scale,

    17   etc.  Another good idea is to use points instead of edges, since

    18   they seem more robust.

    52 * Alignment by Maximization of Mutual Information, Paul A. Viola

    53 

    54   PhD Thesis recommended by Winston. Describes a system that is able

    55   to align a 3D computer model of an object with an image of that

    56   object. 

    57   

    58   - Pages 9-19 is a very adequate intro to the algorithm.

    60   - Has a useful section on entropy and probability at the beginning

    61     which is worth reading, especially the part about entropy.

    62 

    63   - Differential entropy seems a bit odd -- you would think that it

    64     should be the same as normal entropy for a discrete distrubition

    65     embedded in continuous space. How do you measure the entropy of a

    66     half continuous, half discrete random variable?
