Cats and dogs

2012 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2012
We investigate the fine grained object categorization problem of determining the breed of animal from an image. To this end we introduce a new annotated dataset of pets covering 37 different breeds of cats and dogs. The visual problem is very challenging as these animals, particularly cats, are very deformable and there can be quite subtle differences ...
