Abstract
The following paper proposes a procedure for SIFT keypoints derivation for the purpose of object class detection. The main idea of the method is to build appropriate object class keypoints by extracting information that corresponds to characteristic class features. The proposed procedure is composed of two main steps: clustering of similar SIFT keypoints and derivation of appropriate keypoint descriptors. Face detection in images has been selected as a sample application for the proposed approach performance evaluation.
