This paper presents a new deformable modeling strategy aimed at integrating shape and appearance in a unified space. If we think traditional deformable models as "active cont...
Detecting people in images is key for several important application domains in computer vision. This paper presents an in-depth experimental study on pedestrian classification; mul...
We present a new approach for enhancing local scene contrast by unsharp masking over arbitrary surfaces under any form of illumination. Our adaptation of a well-known 2D technique...
We present 3D video fragments, a dynamic point sample framework for real-time free-viewpoint video. By generalizing 2D video pixels towards 3D irregular point samples we combine t...
Lip reading provides useful information in speech perception and language understanding, especially when the auditory speech is degraded. However, many current automatic lip readi...
