The selection of weak classifiers is critical to the success of boosting techniques. Poor weak classifiers do not perform better than random guess, thus cannot help decrease the t...
To learn a new visual category from few examples, prior knowledge from unlabeled data as well as previous related categories may be useful. We develop a new method for transfer le...
Abstract. Brightness values of pixels in an image are related to image irradiance by a non-linear function, called the radiometric response function. Recovery of this function is i...
The problem of tracking involves challenges like in-plane and out-of-plane rotations, scaling, variations in ambient light and occlusions. In this paper we look at the problem of ...
For effective retrieval of visual information, statistical learning plays a pivotal role. Statistical learning in such a context faces at least two major mathematical challenges: ...
