In this paper we evaluate the performance of the two most successful state-of-the-art descriptors, applied to the task of visual object detection and localization in images. In the first experiment we use these descriptors, combined with binary classifiers, to test the presence/absence of object in a target image. In the second experiment, we try to locate faces in images, by using a structural model. The results show that HMAX performs slightly better than SIFT in these tasks.
