In this work, we propose a multi-class classification strategy based on Fisher kernels. Fisher kernels combine the powers of discriminative and generative classifiers by mapping v...
Extracting human postural information from video sequences has proved a difficult research question. The most successful approaches to date have been based on particle filtering, ...
We present a new contour analysis technique to detect people in thermal imagery. Background-subtraction is first used to identify local regions-of-interest. Gradient information w...
It is common in object recognition algorithms based on viewpoint consistency to find object poses that align many of the object features with features extracted from a search imag...
New representations are developed for 2D IP (implicit polynomial) curves ofarbitrary degree. These representations permit shape recognition and pose estimation with essentially sin...
