Beyond Local Appearance: Category Recognition from Pairwise Interactions of Simple Features Marius Leordeanu1 Martial Hebert1 Rahul Sukthankar2,1 mleordea@ hebert@ rahuls@ 1Carnegie Mellon University 2Intel Research Pittsburgh Abstract We present a discriminative shape-based algorithm for object category localization and recognition. Our method learns object models in a weakly-supervised fashion, with- out requiring the specification of object locations nor pixel masks in the training data. We represent object models as cliques of fully-interconnected parts, exploiting only the pairwise geomet
