Abstract:This paper mainly focuses on the issue of generic object scale perception. A computational model in entropy-domain space is presented for scene object description to pursue the underlying entropy manifold in statistical way. The corresponding algorithm approximately follows perceptual hierarchy in human-vision biologically via quad-tree pyramid structure, which can automatically choose the appropriate scale of various objects via proposed scale evaluation function. The sufficient experiments truly demonstrate the effective scale description in entropy region manifold with proper location, and provide additional priori information for object scale perception.
