A new approach to the recognition of temporal behaviors and activities is presented. The fundamental idea, inspired by work in speech recognition, is to divide the inference probl...
This paper presents a new stereo matching algorithm based on inter-regional cooperative optimization. The proposed algorithm uses regions as matching primitives and defines the co...
