We present a distributed representation of pose and appearance of people called the “poselet activation vector”. First we show that this representation can be used to estimate...
This paper addresses the problem of recognizing objects in large image databases. The method is based on local characteristics which are invariant to simzlarity transformations in...
— Mobile robots do not adequately represent the objects in their environment; this weakness hinders a robot’s ability to utilize past experience. In this paper, we describe a s...
This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
Due to the increasing amount of 3D data for various applications there is a growing need for classification and search in such databases. As the representation of 3D objects is no...
