Abstract
We propose a method for localizing and recognizing brand logos in natural images. The task is extremely challenging, due to the various changes in the appearance of the logos. We construct class templates by matching features between examples of the same class to build homographies. An interconnections graph is developed for each class and the representative points are added to the class model. Finally, each class is depicted by the reunion of the suitable keypoints and descriptors, thus leading to a high precision of the proposed logo recognition system. Results show that we outperform the state of the art systems on the challenging Flickr-32 database.
