We propose a fast algorithm, EMD-L1, for computing the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between a pair of histograms. Compared to the original formulation, EMD-L1 has a largely si...
Generative 3D face models are a powerful tool in computer vision. They provide pose and illumination invariance by modeling the space of 3D faces and the imaging process. The powe...

Despite decades of study, robust shadow detection remains difficult, especially within a single color image. We describe a new approach to detect shadow boundaries in images of o...

We present a change detection method resistant to global and local illumination variations for use in visual surveillance scenarios. Approaches designed thus far for robustness to...
In this paper we present a method for the integration of nonlinear holonomic constraints in deformable models and its application to the problems of shape and illuminant direction...
