A major problem in object recognition is that a novel image of a given object can be different from all previously seen images. Images can vary considerably due to changes in viewi...
Let Q(N) denote the number of partitions of N into distinct parts. If ω(k) := 3k2 +k 2 , then it is well known that Q(N) + ∞X k=1 (−1)k “ Q(N − 2ω(k)) + Q(N − 2ω(−k)...
Abstract--We propose an approach to accurately detecting twodimensional (2-D) shapes. The cross section of the shape boundary is modeled as a step function. We first derive a one-d...
In this paper we present a two-level generative model for representing the images and surface depth maps of drapery and clothes. The upper level consists of a number of folds whic...
—We address the problem of comparing sets of images for object recognition, where the sets may represent variations in an object’s appearance due to changing camera pose and li...
