Semiparametric models are useful to determine features that are invariant to certain conditions, such as illumination invariant features in object recognition problems. In this article we propose a general semiparametric model, which is called the Generalized Multiparameter Likelihood Models, to adapt with various applications, an simple and efficient estimation procedure, and an automatic procedure to identify features that are invariant to certain conditions. This is a co-work with Prof. Ming-Yen Cheng and Dr.Wenyang Zhang.
