We present a real-time method for detecting deformable surfaces, with no need whatsoever for a priori pose knowledge. Our method starts from a set of wide baseline point matches b...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a novel and fast method to localize and track needles during image-guided interventions. Our proposed method is comprised of framework of needle...
In this paper we present a symmetry-based approach which can be used to detect humans and to extract biometric characteristics from video image-sequences. The method employs a simp...
—A user’s focus of attention plays an important role in human–computer interaction applications, such as a ubiquitous computing environment and intelligent space, where the u...
The detection and tracking of three-dimensional human body models has progressed rapidly but successful approaches typically rely on accurate foreground silhouettes obtained using...
