Clustered Pose and Nonlinear Appearance Models for Human Pose Estimation
We investigate the task of 2D articulated human pose estimation in unconstrained still images. This is extremely challenging because of variation in pose, anatomy, clothing, and i...

Pairwise Macropixel Comparison Can Work at Least as Well as Advanced Holistic Algorithms for Face Recognition
It is well known that, due to illumination effects and the registration/alignment problem, it does not make sense to compare the "values" of two single-pixels for face r...

A 2D+t Feature-preserving Non-local Means Filter for Image Denoising and Improved Detection of Small and Weak Particles
A feature-preserving non-local means (FP-NLM) filter has been developed recently for denoising images containing small and weak particlelike objects. It explores the commonly used...

Reducing mismatching under time-pressure by reasoning about visibility and occlusion
Three methods are explored which help indicate whether feature points are potentially visible or occluded in the matching phase of the keyframe-based real-time visual SLAM system....
