Color histograms are used to compare images in many applications. Their advantages are efficiency, and insensitivity to small changes in camera viewpoint. However, color histogram...
In this paper we introduce Active Monte Carlo Recognition (AMCR), a new approach for object recognition. The method is based on seeding and propagating "relational" part...
We propose an approach to activity recognition based on detecting and analyzing the sequence of objects that are being manipulated by the user. In domains such as cooking, where m...
In order to deploy mobile robots in social environments like indoor buildings, they need to be provided with perceptual abilities to detect people. In the computer vision literatur...
This paper presents a new kernel method for appearance-based object recognition, highly robust to noise and occlusion. It consists of a fully connected Markov Random Field that in...
