| Abstract: | The phenomenal growth of the usage of mobile devices (e.g., mobile phones and tablet PCs) opens up a new service, namely mobile visual recognition, which has been widely used in many areas, such as mobile shopping and augmented reality. The rich contextual information (e.g., location, time and direction information), easily acquired by the mobile devices, provides useful clues to facilitate mobile visual recognition, including speeding up the recognition time and improving the recognition performance. This survey focuses on recent advances in Context-Aware Mobile Visual Recognition (CAMVR) and reviews related work regarding to different contextual information, recognition methods, recognition types, and various application scenarios. Finally, we discuss future research directions in this field. |
