In recent years, Deep Learning techniques have shown to perform well on a large variety of problems both in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing, reaching and often surpassing the state of the art on many tasks. The rise of deep learning is also revolutionizing the entire field of Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition pushing forward the concepts of automatic feature extraction and unsupervised learning in general. However, despite the strong success both in science and business, deep learning has its own limitations. It is often questioned if such techniques are only some kind of brute-force statistical approaches and if they can only work in the context of High Performance Computing with tons of data. Another important question is whether they are really biologically inspired, as claimed in certain cases, and if they can scale well in terms of "intelligence". The dissertation is focused on trying to answer these key questions in the context of Computer Vision and, in particular, Object Recognition, a task that has been heavily revolutionized by recent advances in the field. Practically speaking, these answers are based on an exhaustive comparison between two, very different, deep learning techniques on the aforementioned task: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Hierarchical Temporal memory (HTM). They stand for two different approaches and points of view within the big hat of deep learning and are the best choices to understand and point out strengths and weaknesses of each of them. CNN is considered one of the most classic and powerful supervised methods used today in machine learning and pattern recognition, especially in object recognition. CNNs are well received and accepted by the scientific community and are already deployed in large corporation like Google and Facebook for solving face recognition and image auto-tagging problems. HTM, on the other hand, is known as a new emerging paradigm and a new meanly-unsupervised method, that is more biologically inspired. It tries to gain more insights from the computational neuroscience community in order to incorporate concepts like time, context and attention during the learning process which are typical of the human brain. In the end, the thesis is supposed to prove that in certain cases, with a lower quantity of data, HTM can outperform CNN.

Questa tesi si inserisce nel filone di ricerca dell'elaborazione di dati 3D, e in particolare nella 3D Object Recognition, e delinea in primo luogo una panoramica sulle principali rappresentazioni strutturate di dati 3D, le quali rappresentano una prerogativa necessaria per implementare in modo efficiente algoritmi di processing di dati 3D, per poi presentare un nuovo algoritmo di 3D Keypoint Detection che è stato sviluppato e proposto dal Computer Vision Laboratory dell'Università di Bologna presso il quale ho effettuato la mia attività di tesi.

La tesi presenta un lavoro svolto nell'ambito dell'object recognition, in particolare riguardante l'analisi dei descrittori locali SIFT e BRIEF. Dopo aver implementato BRIEF, sono stati realizzati numerosi test al fine di presentare un esauriente confronto prestazionale tra i due descrittori. Infine, è stato realizzato un applicativo per la localizzazione e il riconoscimento di oggetti su ripiani.

Generic object recognition is an important function of the human visual system and everybody finds it highly useful in their everyday life. For an artificial vision system it is a really hard, complex and challenging task because instances of the same object category can generate very different images, depending of different variables such as illumination conditions, the pose of an object, the viewpoint of the camera, partial occlusions, and unrelated background clutter. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a system that is able to classify objects in 2D images based on the context, and identify to which category the object belongs to. Given an image, the system can classify it and decide the correct categorie of the object. Furthermore the objective of this thesis is also to test the performance and the precision of different supervised Machine Learning algorithms in this specific task of object image categorization. Through different experiments the implemented application reveals good categorization performances despite the difficulty of the problem. However this project is open to future improvement; it is possible to implement new algorithms that has not been invented yet or using other techniques to extract features to make the system more reliable. This application can be installed inside an embedded system and after trained (performed outside the system), so it can become able to classify objects in a real-time. The information given from a 3D stereocamera, developed inside the department of Computer Engineering of the University of Bologna, can be used to improve the accuracy of the classification task. The idea is to segment a single object in a scene using the depth given from a stereocamera and in this way make the classification more accurate.

Nell'elaborato viene introdotto l'ambito della Computer Vision e come l'algoritmo SIFT si inserisce nel suo panorama. Viene inoltre descritto SIFT stesso, le varie fasi di cui si compone e un'applicazione al problema dell'object recognition. Infine viene presentata un'implementazione di SIFT in linguaggio Python creata per ottenere un'applicazione didattica interattiva e vengono mostrati esempi di questa applicazione.

In questa tesi sono stati analizzati alcuni metodi di ricerca per dati 3D. Viene illustrata una panoramica generale sul campo della Computer Vision, sullo stato dell’arte dei sensori per l’acquisizione e su alcuni dei formati utilizzati per la descrizione di dati 3D. In seguito è stato fatto un approfondimento sulla 3D Object Recognition dove, oltre ad essere descritto l’intero processo di matching tra Local Features, è stata fatta una focalizzazione sulla fase di detection dei punti salienti. In particolare è stato analizzato un Learned Keypoint detector, basato su tecniche di apprendimento di machine learning. Quest ultimo viene illustrato con l’implementazione di due algoritmi di ricerca di vicini: uno esauriente (K-d tree) e uno approssimato (Radial Search). Sono state riportate infine alcune valutazioni sperimentali in termini di efficienza e velocità del detector implementato con diversi metodi di ricerca, mostrando l’effettivo miglioramento di performance senza una considerabile perdita di accuratezza con la ricerca approssimata.
