We present a novel method for tracking objects by combining density matching with shape priors. Density matching is a tracking method which operates by maximizing the Bhattacharyy...
Scalable shape encoding is an important requirement of highly scalable object-based video coding. In this paper, a new scalable vertex-based shape coding scheme is proposed that u...

We consider learning models for object recognition from examples. Our method is motivated by systems that use the Hausdorff distance as a shape comparison measure. Typically an ob...
We present an ontology of objects, functions, and generic shape representation that supports form-function reasoning. By reasoning from the mechanical and other functions of object...
A new method for localising and recognising hand poses and objects in real-time is presented. This problem is important in vision-driven applications where it is natural for a use...
