Abstract. The importance of spatial configuration information for object class recognition is widely recognized. Single isolated local appearance codes are often ambiguous. On the...
We address the problem of object detection and segmentation using holistic properties of object shape. Global shape representations are highly susceptible to clutter inevitably pr...
Abstract. This paper presents an algorithm for the estimation of multiple regions with unknown shapes and positions using multiple active contour models (ACM’s). The algorithm or...
Covariance matrices have recently been a popular choice for versatile tasks like recognition and tracking due to their powerful properties as local descriptor and their low comput...
Retrieving images from very large collections, using image content as a key, is becoming an important problem. Users prefer to ask for pictures using notions of content that are st...
