In this paper, we present a new method for segmenting closed contours and surfaces. Our work builds on a variant of the Fast Marching algorithm. First, an initial point on the des...
Many visual search and matching systems represent images using sparse sets of "visual words": descriptors that have been quantized by assignment to the best-matching symb...
Most object recognition systems require large databases of real images for classifier training. To collect real images for this purpose is a difficult and expensive process. This ...
The sliding window approach of detecting rigid objects (such as cars) is predicated on the belief that the object can be identified from the appearance in a small region around the...
Abstract. In this paper we introduce a new representation for shapebased object class detection. This representation is based on very sparse and slightly flexible configurations of...
