We introduce an approach to feature-based object recognition, using maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation under a Markov random field (MRF) model. This approach provides an effici...
Search by Object Model -- finding an object inside a target image -- is a desirable and yet difficult mechanism for querying multimedia data. An added difficulty is that objects c...
Providing a user with an effective image search engine has been a very active research area. A search by an object model is considered to be one of the most desirable and yet difï...
We introduce a method for image retrieval that leverages the implicit information about object importance conveyed by the list of keyword tags a person supplies for an image. We p...
We demonstrate a novel approach to modelling arbitrary temporally-deforming objects using spatio-temporal Fourier descriptors. This is a continuous boundary descriptor, which can ...
