Local feature methods suitable for image feature based object recognition and for the estimation of motion and structure are composed of two steps, namely the `where' and `wh...
The study of 2D shapes and their similarities is a central problem in the field of vision. It arises in particular from the task of classifying and recognizing objects from their ...
The presence of highlights, which in dielectric inhomogeneous objects are linear combination of specular and diffuse reflection components, is inevitable. A number of methods have...
