We revisit stereo matching functions, a topic that is considered
well understood, from a different angle. Our goal
is to discover a transformation that operates on the cost
or s...
We propose a novel framework for contour based object
detection and recognition, which we formulate as a joint
contour fragment grouping and labeling problem. For a
given set of...

With the recent efforts made by computer vision researchers,
more and more types of features have been designed
to describe various aspects of visual characteristics.
Modeling s...

We propose a novel consistent max-covering scheme for
human pose estimation. Consistent max-covering formulates
pose estimation as the covering of body part polygons
on an objec...
We present an approach to visual tracking based on dividing a
target into multiple regions, or fragments. The target is represented
by a Gaussian mixture model in a joint feature...
Many machine learning algorithms require the summation of Gaussian kernel
functions, an expensive operation if implemented straightforwardly. Several methods
have been proposed t...

We propose in this paper to unify two different ap-
proaches to image restoration: On the one hand, learning a
basis set (dictionary) adapted to sparse signal descriptions
has p...

A common design of an object recognition system has
two steps, a detection step followed by a foreground withinclass
classification step. For example, consider face detection
by...
We introduce an algorithm that guides the user to tag
faces in the best possible order during a face recognition assisted
tagging scenario. In particular, we extend the active
l...

Unsupervised over-segmentation of an image into superpixels
is a common preprocessing step for image parsing
algorithms. Superpixels are used as both regions of support
for feat...
