Bag of Features (BoF) has gained a lot of interest in computer vision. Visual codebook based on robust appearance descriptors extracted from local image patches is an effective means of texture analysis and scene classification. This paper presents a new method for local feature description based on gray-level difference mapping called Mean Local Mapped Pattern (M-LMP). The proposed descriptor is robust to image scaling, rotation, illumination and partial viewpoint changes. The training set is composed of rotated and scaled images, with changes in illumination and view points. The test set is composed of rotated and scaled images. The proposed descriptor more effectively captures smaller differences of the image pixels than similar ones. In our experiments, we implemented an object recognition system based on the M-LMP and compared our results to the Center-Symmetric Local Binary Pattern (CS-LBP) and the Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). The results for object classification were analyzed in a BoF methodology and show that our descriptor performs better compared to these two previously published methods.

In recent years, research on cognitive aging increasingly has focused on the cognitive development across middle adulthood. However, little is still known about the long-term effects of intensive job-specific training of fluid intellectual abilities. In this study we examined the effects of age- and job-specific practice of cognitive abilities on detection performance in airport security x-ray screening. In Experiment 1 (N = 308; 24–65 years), we examined performance in the X-ray Object Recognition Test (ORT), a speeded visual object recognition task in which participants have to find dangerous items in x-ray images of passenger bags; and in Experiment 2 (N = 155; 20–61 years) in an on-the-job object recognition test frequently used in baggage screening. Results from both experiments show high performance in older adults and significant negative age correlations that cannot be overcome by more years of job-specific experience. We discuss the implications of our findings for theories of lifespan cognitive development and training concepts.
