In this paper we describe the analysis component of an indoor, real-time, multi-camera surveillance system. The analysis includes: (1) a novel feature-level foreground segmentatio...
Accurate estimation of effective camera focal length is crucial to the success of panoramic image stitching. Fast techniques for estimating the focal length exist, but are depende...
Suppose a given observation matrix can be decomposed as the sum of a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix (outliers), and the goal is to recover these individual components from th...
FastICA is arguably one of the most widespread methods for independent component analysis. We focus on its deflation-based implementation, where the independent components are ext...
In order to reduce the rejection rate of our automatic reading system, we propose to pre-classify the business documents by introducing an Automatic Recognition of Documents stage...
