Abstract
In this paper, we present a connectionist approach for detecting and precisely localizing transparent logos in TV programs. Our system automatically synthesizes simple problem-specific feature extractors from a training set of logo images, without making any assumptions or using any hand-made design concerning the features to extract or the areas of the logo pattern to analyze. We present in detail the design of our architecture, our learning strategy and the resulting process of logo detection. We also provide experimental results to illustrate the robustness of our approach, that does not require any local preprocessing and leads to a straightforward real time implementation.
