Abstract

A method extracts a low-rank descriptor of a video acquired of a scene by first extracting a set of descriptors for each image in the video. The sets of descriptors for the video are aggregated to form a descriptor matrix. Iteratively, a low-rank descriptor matrix is determined from the descriptor matrix, as well as a selection matrix that associates each column in the descriptor matrix to a corresponding column in the low-rank descriptor matrix. The low-rank descriptor matrix is output upon convergence.
