Scene Recognition with Biological Features: The Poggio model for object recognition takes as input the unlabled images of digital photographs from the Street Scene Database (top) and generates automatic annotations of the type shown in the bottom row. The orange bounding boxes are for pedestrians ("ped") and cars ("car"). The system would have also detected bicycles if present. For sky, buildings, trees, and road, the system uses color coding (blue, brown, green, and grey). Note the false detection in the image on the right. A construction sign was mistaken for a pedestrian.
