Local descriptors are popular ways to characterize the local properties of images in various computer vision based tasks. To form the global descriptors for image regions, the first-order feature pooling is widely used. However, as the first-order pooling technique treats each dimension of local features separately, the pairwise correlations of local features are usually ignored.Encouraged by the success of recently developed second-order pooling techniques, in this paper we formulate a general second-order pooling framework and explore several analogues of the second-order average and max operations. We comprehensively investigate a variety of moments which are in the central positions to the second-order pooling technique. As a result, the superiority of the second-order standardized moment average pooling (2Standmap) is suggested. We successfully apply 2Standmap to four challenging tasks namely texture classification, medical image analysis, pain expression recognition, and micro-expression recognition. It illustrates the effectiveness of 2Standmap to capture multiple cues and the generalization to both static images and spatial-temporal sequences.
