The extraction of consistent skeletons in the presence of boundary noise is still a problem for most skeletonization algorithms. Many suppress skeletons associated with boundary pe...
In this paper, we present an approach toward pedestrian detection and tracking from infrared imagery using joint shape and appearance cues. A layered representation is first intr...
Challenging object detection and segmentation tasks can be facilitated by the availability of a reference object. However, accounting for possible transformations between the diff...
We propose a novel approach to improve the distinctiveness of local image features without significantly affecting their robustness with respect to image deformations. Local image...
Abstract--We propose an approach to accurately detecting twodimensional (2-D) shapes. The cross section of the shape boundary is modeled as a step function. We first derive a one-d...
