In this work a new robust color and contour based object detection method in images with varying shadows is presented. The method relies on a physics-based contour detector that em...

Abstract. Distribution of object colors has been used in computer vision for recognition and indexing. Most of the recent approaches to this problem have been focused on de ning op...
Many object classes, including human faces, can be modeled as a set of characteristic parts arranged in a variable spatial con guration. We introduce a simpli ed model of a deforma...
We derive a new class of photometric invariants that can be used for a variety of vision tasks including lighting invariant material segmentation, change detection and tracking, a...

- Robot companions need to be able to constantly acquire knowledge about new objects for instance in order to detect them in the environment. This ability is necessary since it is ...
