We present an object class detection approach which fully integrates the complementary strengths offered by shape matchers. Like an object detector, it can learn class models dire...
In this paper, we propose a novel framework for contour based object detection. Compared to previous work, our contribution is three-fold. 1) A novel shape matching scheme suitabl...
This paper presents a new statistical model for detecting and tracking deformable objects such as pedestrians, where large shape variations induced by local shape deformation can ...
Model-based image recognition requires a general model of the object that should be detected in an image. In many applications such models are not known a-priori instead of they mu...
Pictorial Structures (PS) define a probabilistic model of 2D articulated objects in images. Typical PS models assume an object can be represented by a set of rigid parts connecte...
