In this paper, we present an approach toward pedestrian detection and tracking from infrared imagery using joint shape and appearance cues. A layered representation is first intr...
The Active Appearance Model (AAM) algorithm has proved to be a successful method for matching statistical models of appearance to new images. Since the original algorithm was desc...
This chapter proposes a representation of rigid three-dimensional (3D) objects in terms of local affine-invariant descriptors of their images and the spatial relationships between ...

unsupervised construction of topological maps, which provide an abstraction of the environment in terms of visual aspects. An unsupervised clustering algorithm is used to represent...
Most object detection techniques discussed in the literature are based solely on texture-based features that capture the global or local appearance of an object. While results indi...
