Given an object model and a black-box measure of similarity between the model and candidate targets, we consider visual object tracking as a numerical optimization problem. During...
In this paper, we tackle the problem of object detection and tracking in a new and challenging domain of wide area surveillance. This problem poses several challenges: large camera...
Neuro-evolution and computational neuroscience are two scientific domains that produce surprisingly different artificial neural networks. Inspired by the “toolbox” used by ...
We consider the problem of reconstructing a compact 3manifold (with boundary) embedded in R3 from its crosssections with a given set of cutting planes having arbitrary orientation...
This paper presents an example-based method for calculating skeleton-driven body deformations. Our example data consists of range scans of a human body in a variety of poses. Usin...
