Abstract. Detecting contour closure, i.e., finding a cycle of disconnected contour fragments that separates an object from its background, is an important problem in perceptual gro...
Abstract. This paper describes methods and sensor technology used to identify persons from their walking characteristics. We use an array of simple binary switch floor sensors to d...
We present an approach for object recognition that combines detection and segmentation within a efficient hypothesize/test framework. Scanning-window template classifiers are the ...
We propose a novel method, based on concepts from expander graphs, to sample communities in networks. We show that our sampling method, unlike previous techniques, produces subgra...
Many object classes are primarily defined by their functions. However, this fact has been left largely unexploited by visual object categorization or detection systems. We propos...
