Semidefinite Programming Heuristics for Surface Reconstruction Ambiguities
We consider the problem of reconstructing a smooth surface under constraints that have discrete ambiguities. These problems arise in areas such as shape from texture, shape from sh...

Image Feature Extraction Using Gradient Local Auto-Correlations
In this paper, we propose a method for extracting image features which utilizes 2 nd order statistics, i.e., spatial and orientational auto-correlations of local gradients. It enab...

Hamming Embedding and Weak Geometric Consistency for Large Scale Image Search
This paper improves recent methods for large scale image search. State-of-the-art methods build on the bag-of-features image representation. We, first, analyze bag-of-features in t...

Segmentation and Recognition Using Structure from Motion Point Clouds
We propose an algorithm for semantic segmentation based on 3D point clouds derived from ego-motion. We motivate five simple cues designed to model specific patterns of motion and 3...
