Exploring outdoor appearance changes with transient scene attributes
Pierre-Yves Laffont, James H. Hays · 2013
The appearance of outdoor scenes changes dramatically with lighting and weather conditions, time of day, and season. We relate visual changes to scene attributes, which are human-nameable concepts used for high-level description of scenes. They carry semantic meaning and are more flexible than a categorical representation of scenes. While the discriminative scene attributes proposed in [Patterson and Hays 2012] distinguish scenes from each other, we focus on transient attributes which describe changes in appearance within each scene under real-world conditions.
