We present an image restoration method that leverages
a large database of images gathered from the web. Given
an input image, we execute an efficient visual search to
find the c...

Common visual codebook generation methods used in
a Bag of Visual words model, e.g. k-means or Gaussian
Mixture Model, use the Euclidean distance to cluster features
into visual...
The aim of color constancy is to remove the effect of the
color of the light source. As color constancy is inherently
an ill-posed problem, most of the existing color constancy
...
The state-of-the art in visual object retrieval from large
databases allows to search millions of images on the object
level. Recently, complementary works have proposed systems
...

In this paper we propose a robust visual tracking method
by casting tracking as a sparse approximation problem in a
particle filter framework. In this framework, occlusion, corru...
Our objective is to obtain a state-of-the art object category
detector by employing a state-of-the-art image classifier
to search for the object in all possible image subwindows....

We present a fast and robust system for estimating structure
and motion using a stereo pair, with straight lines as
features. Our first set of contributions are efficient algorit...
Scenes with cast shadows can produce complex sets of
images. These images cannot be well approximated by lowdimensional
linear subspaces. However, in this paper we
show that the...
We present a shape-based algorithm for detecting and
recognizing non-rigid objects from natural images. The existing
literature in this domain often cannot model the objects
ver...

Supervised learning of a parts-based model can be for-
mulated as an optimization problem with a large (exponen-
tial in the number of parts) set of constraints. We show how
thi...
