Improving object classification using semantic attributes
This paper shows how semantic attribute features can be used to improve object classification performance. The semantic attributes used fall into five groups: scene (e.g. `road�...

Skeleton Extraction via Anisotropic Heat Flow
We introduce a novel skeleton extraction algorithm in binary and gray-scale images, based on the anisotropic heat diffusion analogy. We propose to diffuse image in the dominance o...

Manifold Learning for ToF-based Human Body Tracking and Activity Recognition
In this paper, we propose a method for simultaneous human full-body pose tracking and activity recognition from time-of-flight (ToF) camera images. Simple and sparse depth cues ar...

A Wavelet Based Local Descriptor for Human Action Recognition
In interest point based human action recognition, local descriptors are used to represent information in the neighbourhood around each extracted space-time interest point. The per...

Embedding Visual Words into Concept Space for Action and Scene Recognition
In this paper we propose a novel approach to introducing semantic relations into the bag-of-words framework. We use the latent semantic models, such as LSA and pLSA, in order to d...

Moving Camera Registration for Multiple Camera Setups in Dynamic Scenes
Many practical applications require an accurate knowledge of the extrinsic calibration (i.e., pose) of a moving camera. The existing SLAM and structure-from-motion solutions are n...
