This paper introduces an affine invariant shape descriptor for maximally stable extremal regions (MSER). Affine invariant feature descriptors are normally computed by sampling the...
In this paper, we address the problem of identifying and localizing multiple instances of highly deformable objects in real-time video data. We present an approach which uses PCA-...
Local feature methods suitable for image feature based object recognition and for the estimation of motion and structure are composed of two steps, namely the `where' and `wh...
We propose a generative model that codes the geometry and appearance of generic visual object categories as a loose hierarchy of parts, with probabilistic spatial relations linkin...
This paper proposes a novel algorithm to reconstruct a 3D surface from a calibrated set of images. In a first pass, it uses Scale Invariant Features Transform (SIFT) descriptor co...
