Robust estimators, such as Least Median of Squared (LMedS) Residuals, M-estimators, the Least Trimmed Squares (LTS) etc., have been employed to estimate optical flow from image se...
A new distance measure between probability density functions (pdfs) is introduced, which we refer to as the Laplacian pdf distance. The Laplacian pdf distance exhibits a remarkabl...
We propose a new robust focal length estimation method in multi-view structure from motion from unordered data sets, e.g. downloaded from the Flickr database, where jpeg-exif heade...
We determine the asymptotic behaviour of the function computed by support vector machines (SVM) and related algorithms that minimize a regularized empirical convex loss function i...
