What Does the Sky Tell Us about the Camera?
As the main observed illuminant outdoors, the sky is a rich source of information about the scene. However, it is yet to be fully explored in computer vision because its appearance...

Implementing Decision Trees and Forests on a GPU
We describe a method for implementing the evaluation and training of decision trees and forests entirely on a GPU, and show how this method can be used in the context of object rec...

Cat Head Detection - How to Effectively Exploit Shape and Texture Features
In this paper, we focus on the problem of detecting the head of cat-like animals, adopting cat as a test case. We show that the performance depends crucially on how to effectively ...

Temporal Dithering of Illumination for Fast Active Vision
Active vision techniques use programmable light sources, such as projectors, whose intensities can be controlled over space and time. We present a broad framework for fast active v...

Local Regularization for Multiclass Classification Facing Significant Intraclass Variations
We propose a new local learning scheme that is based on the principle of decisiveness: the learned classifier is expected to exhibit large variability in the direction of the test ...

Saliency Based Opportunistic Search for Object Part Extraction and Labeling
We study the task of object part extraction and labeling, which seeks to understand objects beyond simply identifiying their bounding boxes. We start from bottom-up segmentation of...

Improving Shape Retrieval by Learning Graph Transduction
Abstract. Shape retrieval/matching is a very important topic in computer vision. The recent progress in this domain has been mostly driven by designing smart features for providing...

Compressive Structured Light for Recovering Inhomogeneous Participating Media
We propose a new method named compressive structured light for recovering inhomogeneous participating media. Whereas conventional structured light methods emit coded light patterns...

Quick Shift and Kernel Methods for Mode Seeking
We show that the complexity of the recently introduced medoid-shift algorithm in clustering N points is O(N2 ), with a small constant, if the underlying distance is Euclidean. This...
