Abstract--Automatic video annotation is a challenging yet important problem for content-based video indexing and retrieval. In most existing works, annotation is formulated as a mu...
In this paper, we aim to reconstruct free-form 3D models from only one or few silhouettes by learning the prior knowledge of a specific class of objects. Instead of heuristically...
A new method for visual tracking of articulated objects is presented. Analyzing articulated motion is challenging because the dimensionality increase potentially demands tremendou...
Statistical estimation and approximate query processing have become increasingly prevalent applications for database systems. However, approximation is usually of little use witho...
