What is this?

This is code for object detection on images. The method is described in the paper
@inproceedings{cinbis:hal-00873134, 
  AUTHOR = {Cinbis, Ramazan Gokberk and Verbeek, Jakob and Schmid, Cordelia}, 
  TITLE = {{Segmentation Driven Object Detection with Fisher Vectors}}, 
  BOOKTITLE = {{ICCV 2013 - IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision}}, 
  YEAR = {2013}, 
  MONTH = Dec, 
  PUBLISHER = {IEEE}, 
  KEYWORDS = {object detection, fisher vectors}, 
  ADDRESS = {Sydney, Australia}, 
  URL = {http://hal.inria.fr/hal-00873134} 
}
The paper is available here. It is applied by default on the Pascal VOC detection challenge.

How to use

Download the package here: maskfishdet-1.5.tgz, and start reading the README.

The code works on data from the Pascal dataset, re-packaged here: maskfishdet_1.1_data.tgz.

You will need a powerful Linux machine with a lot of RAM and disk space, and a Matlab license.
