Abstract: In this paper we are concerned with the optimal combination of features of possibly different types for detection and estimation tasks in machine vision. We propose to combine features such that the resulting classifier maximizes the margin between classes. In
contrast to existing approaches which are non-convex and/or generative we propose to use a discriminative model leading to convex problem formulation and complexity control.
Furthermore we assert that decision functions should not compare apples and oranges by comparing features of different types directly. Instead we propose to combine different similarity measures for each different
feature type. Furthermore we argue that the question: Which feature type is more discriminative for task X? is ill-posed and show empirically that the answer to this question might depend on the complexity of the decision function.
