Object detection in clutter or occlusion is a hard problem in computer vision. We propose an object detection method based on contour grouping. Two stages are included: a novel di...
Contours have been established in the biological and computer vision literature as a compact yet descriptive representation of object shape. While individual contours provide stru...
Median averaging is a powerful averaging concept on sets of vector data in finite dimensions. A generalization of the median for shapes in the plane is introduced. The underlying ...
Abstract. In this paper we take a fresh look at the problem of extracting shape from contours of human faces. We focus on two key questions: how can we robustly fit a 3D face mode...
