Object Recognition using the Invariant Pixel-Set Signature
A new object recognition method, the Invariant Pixel Set Signature (IPSS), is introduced. Objects are represented with a probability density on the space of invariants computed fr...

A Statistical Geometric Framework for Reconstruction of Scene Models
This paper addresses the problem of reconstructing surface models of indoor scenes from sparse 3D scene structure captured from N camera views. Sparse 3D measurements of real scen...

Recognition of Planar Objects in 3D Space
A technique for recognizing planar objects in three-dimensional space is described. The object's domain is not restricted to purely two-dimensional items but includes fairly ...

3D Shape Modelling through a Constrained Estimation of a Bicubic B-spline Surface
This paper presents a new method to extract the 3D shape of objects from 3D gray level images using a bicubic B-spline surface model. Extraction of object shape is achieved throug...

A Hierarchical Model of Dynamics for Tracking People with a Single Video Camera
We propose a novel hierarchical model of human dynamics for view independent tracking of the human body in monocular video sequences. The model is trained using real data from a c...

The Cross Ratio: A Revisit to its Probability Density Function
The cross ratio has wide applications in computer vision because of its invariance under projective transformation. In active vision where the projections of quadruples of colline...
