Abstract

This paper proposes a model of probabilistic learning of object categories in conjunction with early visual processes of attention, segmentation and perceptual organization. This model consists of the following three sub-models: (1) a model of attention-mediated perceptual organization of segments, (2) a model of local feature representation of segments by using a bag of features, and (3) a model of learning object composition of categories based on intra-categorical probabilistic latent component analysis with variable number of classes and intercategorical typicality analysis. Through experiments by using images of plural categories in an image database, it is shown that the model learns a probabilistic structure of intra-categorical composition of objects and context and inter-categorical difference.
