We describe a learning based method for recovering 3D human body pose from single images and monocular image sequences. Our approach requires neither an explicit body model nor pri...
The Internet contains billions of images, freely available online. Methods for efficiently searching this incredibly rich resource are vital for a large number of applications. Th...
Abstract--Transcoding is a key technique for reducing the bitrate of a previously compressed video signal. A high transcoding ratio may result in an unacceptable picture quality wh...
We consider the problem of dealing with irrelevant votes when a multi-case classifier is built from an ensemble of binary classifiers. We show how run-off elections can be used to...
We propose a methodology for improved segmentation of images in a Bayesian framework by fusion of color, texture and gradient information. The proposed algorithm is initialized by...
