The image of an object can vary dramatically depending on lighting, specularities/reflections and shadows. It is often advantageous to separate these incidental variations from th...
The technique of independent component analysis (ICA) is applied for texture feature detection. In ICA an optimal transformation (with respect to the statistical structure of the i...
Shape spaces can be endowed with the structure of Riemannian manifolds; this allows one to compute, for example, Euler-Lagrange equations and geodesic distance for such spaces. Un...
We present spatio-temporal feature descriptors that can be inferred from video and used as building blocks in action recognition systems. They capture the evolution of ``elementar...
This paper presents novel methods for classifying images based on knowledge discovered from annotated images using WordNet. The novelty of this work is the automatic class discove...
