We propose a novel set of medial feature interest points based on gradient vector flow (GVF) fields [18]. We exploit the long ranging GVF fields for symmetry estimation by calcula...
Local feature methods suitable for image feature based object recognition and for the estimation of motion and structure are composed of two steps, namely the `where' and `wh...
Detecting different categories of objects in image and video content is one of the fundamental tasks in computer vision research. The success of many applications such as visual s...
In this paper we revisit local feature detectors/descriptors developed for 2D images and extend them to the more general framework of scalar fields defined on 2D manifolds. We pro...

We describe a novel method for directing the attention of an automated surveillance system. Our starting premise is that the attention of people in a scene can be used as an indica...
