Instead of the conventional background and foreground definition, we propose a novel method that decomposes a scene into time-varying background and foreground intrinsic images. T...
Two fast illumination invariant image retrieval methods for scenes comprising textured objects with variable illumination are introduced. Both methods are based on texture gradien...
Local feature approaches to vision geometry and object recognition are based on selecting and matching sparse sets of visually salient image points, known as `keypoints' or `p...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an algorithm that can easily be implemented on small form factor devices to perform illumination normalization in face images captured under vari...
The aim of this paper is to find the best representation for the appearance of surfaces with Lambertian reflectance under varying illumination. Previous work using principal compo...
