This paper investigates applications of a new representation for images, the similarity template. A similarity template is a probabilistic representation of the similarity of pixels in an image patch. It has application to detection of a class of objects, because it is reasonably invariant to the color of a particular object. Further, it enables the decomposition of a class of objects into component parts over which robust statistics of color can be approximated. These regions can be used to create a factored color model that is useful for recognition. Detection results are shown on a system that learns to detect a class of objects (pedestrians) in static scenes based on examples of the object provided automatically by a tracking system. Applications of the factored color model to image indexing and anomaly detection are pursued on a database of images of pedestrians.
