In this paper, we focus on the problem of detecting the head of cat-like animals, adopting cat as a test case. We show that the performance depends crucially on how to effectively ...

Active vision techniques use programmable light sources, such as projectors, whose intensities can be controlled over space and time. We present a broad framework for fast active v...

We propose a new local learning scheme that is based on the principle of decisiveness: the learned classifier is expected to exhibit large variability in the direction of the test ...

We study the task of object part extraction and labeling, which seeks to understand objects beyond simply identifiying their bounding boxes. We start from bottom-up segmentation of...

We show that the complexity of the recently introduced medoid-shift algorithm in clustering N points is O(N2 ), with a small constant, if the underlying distance is Euclidean. This...

What does a blind entity need in order to determine the geometry of the set of photocells that it carries through a changing lightfield? In this paper, we show that very crude know...
