Modeling objects by probability density functions (pdf) is a new powerful method to represent complex objects in databases. By representing an object as a pdf, e.g. a Gaussian, it...
An efficient indexing method is essential for content-based image retrieval with the exponential growth in large-scale videos and photos. Recently, hash-based methods (e.g., local...
We consider the problem of geometrical surface reconstruction from one or several images using learned shape models. While humans can effortlessly retrieve 3D shape information, t...
In this paper, we present a new method for surface-based shape reconstruction from a set of silhouette images. We propose to project the viewing cones from all viewpoints to the 3...
We present a fast and efficient geometric re-ranking method that can be incorporated in a feature based image-based retrieval system that utilizes a Vocabulary Tree (VT). We form ...
