A Theory of Spherical Harmonic Identities for BRDF/Lighting Transfer and Image Consistency
Abstract. We develop new mathematical results based on the spherical harmonic convolution framework for reflection from a curved surface. We derive novel identities, which are the ...

Automatic Image Segmentation by Positioning a Seed
We present a method that automatically partitions a single image into non-overlapping regions coherent in texture and colour. An assumption that each textured or coloured region ca...

Real-Time Upper Body Detection and 3D Pose Estimation in Monoscopic Images
This paper presents a novel solution to the difficult task of both detecting and estimating the 3D pose of humans in monoscopic images. The approach consists of two parts. Firstly ...

Detecting Symmetry and Symmetric Constellations of Features
A novel and efficient method is presented for grouping feature points on the basis of their underlying symmetry and characterising the symmetries present in an image. We show how s...

Dense Photometric Stereo by Expectation Maximization
Abstract. We formulate a robust method using Expectation Maximization (EM) to address the problem of dense photometric stereo. Previous approaches using Markov Random Fields (MRF) ...

Non Linear Temporal Textures Synthesis: A Monte Carlo Approach
In this paper we consider the problem of temporal texture modeling and synthesis. A temporal texture (or dynamic texture) is seen as the output of a dynamical system driven by whit...

EMD-L1: An Efficient and Robust Algorithm for Comparing Histogram-Based Descriptors
We propose a fast algorithm, EMD-L1, for computing the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between a pair of histograms. Compared to the original formulation, EMD-L1 has a largely si...
