Learning Based Digital Matting
We cast some new insights into solving the digital matting problem by treating it as a semi-supervised learning task in machine learning. A local learning based approach and a g...

Shadow cameras: Reciprocal views from illumination masks
Scene appearance from the point of view of a light source is called a reciprocal or dual view. Since there exists a large diversity in illumination, these virtual views may be no...

Image Restoration using Online Photo Collections
We present an image restoration method that leverages a large database of images gathered from the web. Given an input image, we execute an efficient visual search to find the c...

Beyond the Euclidean distance: Creating effective visual codebooks using the histogram intersection kernel
Common visual codebook generation methods used in a Bag of Visual words model, e.g. k-means or Gaussian Mixture Model, use the Euclidean distance to cluster features into visual...

Color Constancy using 3D Scene Geometry
The aim of color constancy is to remove the effect of the color of the light source. As color constancy is inherently an ill-posed problem, most of the existing color constancy ...

Beyond Connecting the Dots: A Polynomial-time Algorithm for Segmentation and Boundary Estimation with Imprecise User Input
We propose a polynomial-time algorithm for segmentation and (open) boundary estimation which takes into account a series of user-specified attraction points. In contrast to exis...

I know what you did last summer: object-level auto-annotation of holiday snaps
The state-of-the art in visual object retrieval from large databases allows to search millions of images on the object level. Recently, complementary works have proposed systems ...

Sparse Representation of Cast Shadows via L1-Regularized Least Squares
Scenes with cast shadows can produce complex sets of images. These images cannot be well approximated by lowdimensional linear subspaces. However, in this paper we show that the...

Robust Visual Tracking using L1 Minimization
In this paper we propose a robust visual tracking method by casting tracking as a sparse approximation problem in a particle filter framework. In this framework, occlusion, corru...
