We consider the problem of learning to rank relevant and novel documents so as to directly maximize a performance metric called Expected Global Utility (EGU), which has several de...
Cascades of classifiers constitute an important architecture for fast object detection. While boosting of simple (weak) classifiers provides an established framework, the design of...
Abstract. Reliably extracting information from aerial imagery is a difficult problem with many practical applications. One specific case of this problem is the task of automatica...
We propose a novel adaptive technique for detecting moving shadows and distinguishing them from moving objects in video sequences. Most methods for detecting shadows work in a stat...
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes that damages the retina and leads to sight loss if treated late. In its earliest stage, DR can be diagnosed by microa...
