Johnson and Hebert's spin-images have been applied to the registration of range images and object recognition with much success because they are rotation, scale, and pose inv...
In this paper we propose diffusion distance, a new dissimilarity measure between histogram-based descriptors. We define the difference between two histograms to be a temperature f...
We present an object class detection approach which fully integrates the complementary strengths offered by shape matchers. Like an object detector, it can learn class models dire...
Estimating geographic information from an image is an excellent, difficult high-level computer vision problem whose time has come. The emergence of vast amounts of geographically-...
In this paper we compare the performance of local detectors and descriptors in the context of object class recognition. Recently, many detectors / descriptors have been evaluated ...
