Abstract
In this paper, we discuss how humans locate and detect objects using spatial expressions. Then we propose a spatial-based feature for object localization and recognition tasks. We develop a system that can recognize an object whose positional relation with another object is indicated verbally by a human. Experimental results using two image datasets prepared by the authors confirm the usefulness of the proposed feature.
