The Shape-from-Shading [SfS] problem infers shape from reflected light, collected using a camera at a single point in space only. Reflected light alone does not provide sufficient ...
We propose a method for estimating radiometric response functions from observation of image noise variance, not profile of its distribution. The relationship between radiance inten...

Appearance features are good at discriminating activities in a fixed view, but behave poorly when aspect is changed. We describe a method to build features that are highly stable u...
We make some simple extensions to the Active Shape Model of Cootes et al. [4], and use it to locate features in frontal views of upright faces. We show on independent test data tha...
We observe that everyday images contain dozens of objects, and that humans, in describing these images, give different priority to these objects. We argue that a goal of visual rec...
