Variance partitioning is used to quantify the overlap of two models. Over the years, I have found that this can be a very confusing and misleading concept. So we finally we decided to write a short blog to explain why.

Shape-Based Measures Improve Scene Categorization by DNNs.

Morteza Rezanejad's magnus opus finally out in IEEE PAMI. doi.org/10.1109/TPAM...

A super productive and fun collaboration with John Wilder, Allan D. Jepson, Sven Dickinson, and Kaleem Siddiqi.

Read on for a quick summary.

An illustration of our approach using an example from a database of line drawings of natural scenes. In this pipeline, we first extract line drawings of the input image, then its Medial Axis Transform (MAT) is computed and then the skeletal points on the MAT are scored based upon one of our importance score measures. Finally, they are projected back onto the contours. The figure on the top left shows an example scene used in our pipeline, and the figure below presents the jet colormap visualization of its contours using our medial axis-based contour importance measures.
