Extending Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis with the Weighted Pairwise Chernoff Criterion
Many linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and kernel Fisher discriminant analysis (KFD) methods are based on the restrictive assumption that the data are homoscedastic. In this paper...

Degen Generalized Cylinders and Their Properties
Generalized cylinder (GC) has played an important role in computer vision since it was introduced in the 1970s. While studying GC models in human visual perception of shapes from c...

High Accuracy Optical Flow Serves 3-D Pose Tracking: Exploiting Contour and Flow Based Constraints
Tracking the 3-D pose of an object needs correspondences between 2-D features in the image and their 3-D counterparts in the object model. A large variety of such features has been...
