Our objective is to improve the performance of keyword based image search engines by re-ranking their baseline results. To this end, we address three limitations of existing searc...
Detecting shadows from images can significantly improve the performance of several vision tasks such as object detection and tracking. Recent approaches have mainly used illuminat...
We present a novel representation and rendering method for free-viewpoint video of human characters based on multiple input video streams. The basic idea is to approximate the art...

A bugbear of uncalibrated stereo reconstruction is that cameras which deviate from the pinhole model have to be pre-calibrated in order to correct for nonlinear lens distortion. I...
In this paper, we propose an approach for detecting signs from natural scenes. The approach efficiently embeds multiresolution, adaptive search, and affine rectification algorithm...
