We pose the recognition problem as data association. In this setting, a novel object is explained solely in terms of a small set of exemplar objects to which it is visually simila...
One of the major challenges in stereo matching is to handle partial occlusions. In this paper, we introduce the Outlier Confidence (OC) which dynamically measures how likely one pi...
Figure-ground discrimination is an important problem in computer vision. Previous work usually assumes that the color distribution of the figure can be described by a low dimensio...
As tools and systems for producing and disseminating image data have improved significantly in recent years, the volume of digital images has grown rapidly. An efficient mechanism ...
