Shape from Shading (SFS) is one of the most extensively studied problems in Computer Vision. However, most of the approaches only deal with Lambertian or other specific shading mo...
We introduce a new approach to GA (Genetic Algorithms) based problem solving. Earlier GAs did not contain local search (i.e. hill climbing) mechanisms, which led to optimization d...

We consider the Bayesian ranking and selection problem, in which one wishes to allocate an information collection budget as efficiently as possible to choose the best among severa...
We address the problem of visual category recognition by learning an image-to-image distance function that attempts to satisfy the following property: the distance between images ...

Belief propagation (BP) has become widely used for low-level vision problems and various inference techniques have been proposed for loopy graphs. These methods typically rely on a...
