Hamming Embedding and Weak Geometric Consistency for Large Scale Image Search
This paper improves recent methods for large scale image search. State-of-the-art methods build on the bag-of-features image representation. We, first, analyze bag-of-features in t...

Cross-View Action Recognition from Temporal Self-similarities
This paper concerns recognition of human actions under view changes. We explore self-similarities of action sequences over time and observe the striking stability of such measures ...

Segmentation and Recognition Using Structure from Motion Point Clouds
We propose an algorithm for semantic segmentation based on 3D point clouds derived from ego-motion. We motivate five simple cues designed to model specific patterns of motion and 3...

Beyond Nouns: Exploiting Prepositions and Comparative Adjectives for Learning Visual Classifiers
Learning visual classifiers for object recognition from weakly labeled data requires determining correspondence between image regions and semantic object classes. Most approaches u...

Grassmann Registration Manifolds for Face Recognition
Abstract. Motivated by image perturbation and the geometry of manifolds, we present a novel method combining these two elements. First, we form a tangent space from a set of pertur...

Localizing Objects with Smart Dictionaries
Abstract. We present an approach to determine the category and location of objects in images. It performs very fast categorization of each pixel in an image, a brute-force approach...
