We present a novel method for 3D reconstruction of urban scenes extending a recently introduced heightmap model. Our model has several advantages for 3D modeling of urban scenes: i...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for learning generic visual vocabulary. We use diffusion maps to au-tomatically learn a semantic visual vocabulary from ab-undant quantiz...
