Bilateral filtering (BF) is one of the most classical denoising filters, however, the manually initialized filtering kernel hampers its adaptivity across images with various characteristics. To deal with image variation (i.e.,…

Patch-level image representation is very important for object classification and detection, since it is robust to spatial transformation, scale variation, and cluttered background. Many existing methods usually require fine-grained…
