With the increasing popularity of practical vision systems and smart phones, text detection in natural scenes becomes a critical yet challenging task. Most existing methods have f...
We describe some techniques that can be used to represent and detect deformable shapes in images. The main difficulty with deformable template models is the very large or infinite...
The existing methods for offline training of cascade classifiers take a greedy search to optimize individual classifiers in the cascade, leading inefficient overall performance. W...
Zero-day attacks, new (anomalous) attacks exploiting previously unknown system vulnerabilities, are a serious threat. Defending against them is no easy task, however. Having ident...
We introduce a new method that characterizes typical local image features (e.g., SIFT [9], phase feature [3]) in terms of their distinctiveness, detectability, and robustness to i...
