Many recognition algorithms depend on careful positioning of an object into a canonical pose, so the position of features relative to a fixed coordinate system can be examined. Cu...
We propose a novel framework to build descriptors of local intensity that are invariant to general deformations. In this framework, an image is embedded as a 2D surface in 3D spac...
Since most current scene understanding approaches operate
either on the 2D image or using a surface-based representation, they do
not allow reasoning about the physical constrain...
Automatic detection of dynamic events in video sequences has a variety of applications including visual surveillance and monitoring, video highlight extraction, intelligent transp...
Computer-aided diagnosis is often based on comparing a structure of interest with prior models. Such a comparison requires automatic techniques in determining prior models from a s...
