Scene text images feature an abundance of font style variety but a dearth of data in any given query. Recognition methods must be robust to this variety or adapt to the query data...
In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for automatic and fast detection of human faces in color images where the number, the location, the orientation and the size of the faces ...
This paper introduces BoostMap, a method that can significantly reduce retrieval time in image and video database systems that employ computationally expensive distance measures, ...

Traditional aspect graphs are topology-based and are impractical for articulated objects. In this work we learn a small number of aspects, or prototypical views, from video data. ...
Visual dictionaries are widely employed in object recognition to map unordered bags of local region descriptors into feature vectors for image classification. Most visual dictiona...
