A feature construction method for general object recognition

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose a new method for feature construction called Evolution-COnstructed (ECO) features.

• ECO features remove the need for a human expert to model objects for recognition.

• ECO features compete well against state-of-the-art object recognition methods.

• We show examples of what information ECO features are finding in the training images.
