During the last few years, and in an attempt to provide an ecient alternative to classical methods to designing robot control structures, the behavior-based approach has emerged....
Abstract. This paper presents a simple, yet effective method of building a codebook for pairs of spatially close SIFT descriptors. Integrating such codebook into the popular bag-o...
This paper introduces a novel way to leverage the implicit geometry of sparse local features (e.g. SIFT operator) for the purposes of object detection and segmentation. A two-clas...
Abstract. We present a purely vision-based scheme for learning a topological representation of an open environment. The system represents selected places by local views of the surr...
—We present an example-based learning approach for locating vertical frontal views of human faces in complex scenes. The technique models the distribution of human face patterns ...
