We propose a system for visual scene analysis and recognition based on encoding the sparse, latent feature-representation of an image into a high-dimensional vector that is subsequently factorized to parse scene content. The sparse feature representation is learned from image statistics via convolutional sparse coding, while scene parsing is performed by a resonator network. The integration of sparse coding with the resonator network increases the capacity of distributed representations and reduces collisions in the combinatorial search space during factorization. We find that for this problem the resonator network is capable of fast and accurate vector factorization, and we develop a confidence-based metric that assists in tracking the convergence of the resonator network.
