Shining a Light on Human Pose: On Shadows, Shading and the Estimation of Pose and Shape
Strong lighting is common in natural scenes yet is often viewed as a nuisance for object pose estimation and tracking. In human shape and pose estimation, cast shadows can be conf...

Region Matching with Missing Parts
We present a variational approach to the problem of registering planar shapes despite missing parts. Registration is achieved through the evolution of a partial differential equat...

Sirface vs. Fisherface: recognition using class specific linear projection
Using a novel data dimension reduction method proposed in statistics, we develop an appearance-based face recognition algorithm which is insensitive to large variation in lighting...
