More About VLAD: A Leap From Euclidean to Riemannian Manifolds

This paper takes a step forward in image and video coding by extending the well-known Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors (VLAD) onto an extensive space of curved Riemannian manifolds. We provide a comprehensive mathematical framework that formulates the aggregation problem of such manifold dat…
