Abstract—Many applications require continuous monitoring of a moving target by a controllable vision system. Although the goal of tracking objects is not new, traditional techniq...
The problem of simultaneous feature extraction and selection, for classifier design, is considered. A new framework is proposed, based on boosting algorithms that can either 1) s...
We propose a fast algorithm, EMD-L1, for computing the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between a pair of histograms. Compared to the original formulation, EMD-L1 has a largely si...
In this paper, a classification task on dissimilarity representations is considered. A traditional way to discriminate between objects represented by dissimilarities is the neares...
In this paper we propose a system that annotates a user generated video based on the associated location metadata, by exploiting user-tagged image databases. An example of such a ...
