In the course of acquiring knowledge about layouts and maps spatial information can undergo considerable changes and distortions, which systematically affect knowledge-based judgme...
Many errors in spreadsheet formulas can be avoided if spreadsheets are built automatically from higher-level models that can encode and enforce consistency constraints. However, d...
When designing computer vision systems for the blind and visually impaired it is important to determine the orientation of the user relative to the scene. We observe that most ind...
Recently, the bag-of-words approach has been successfully applied to automatic image annotation, object recognition, etc. The method needs to first quantize an image using the vis...
We propose an unsupervised, probabilistic method for learning visual feature hierarchies. Starting from local, low-level features computed at interest point locations, the method c...
