In this paper we propose a new framework for modeling 2D shapes. A shape is first described by a sequence of local features (e.g., curvature) of the shape boundary. The resulting ...
Abstract. This paper presents a method to segment the hand over complex backgrounds, such as the face. The similar colors and texture of the hand and face make the problem particul...
This paper describes and evaluates an efficient technique that allows the fast generation of 3D triangular meshes from range images avoiding optimization procedures. Such a tool ...
Local curvature represents an important shape parameter of space curves which are well described by differential geometry. We have developed an estimator for local curvature of spa...
We present a "parts and structure" model for object category recognition that can be learnt efficiently and in a semisupervised manner: the model is learnt from example ...
