Multi-stage Contour Based Detection of Deformable Objects
We present an efficient multi stage approach to detection of deformable objects in real, cluttered images given a single or few hand drawn examples as models. The method handles de...

A Probabilistic Approach to Integrating Multiple Cues in Visual Tracking
Abstract. This paper presents a novel probabilistic approach to integrating multiple cues in visual tracking. We perform tracking in different cues by interacting processes. Each p...

Viewpoint Invariant Pedestrian Recognition with an Ensemble of Localized Features
Viewpoint invariant pedestrian recognition is an important yet under-addressed problem in computer vision. This is likely due to the difficulty in matching two objects with unknown...

Using Multiple Hypotheses to Improve Depth-Maps for Multi-View Stereo
We propose an algorithm to improve the quality of depth-maps used for Multi-View Stereo (MVS). Many existing MVS techniques make use of a two stage approach which estimates depth-m...

Some Objects Are More Equal Than Others: Measuring and Predicting Importance
We observe that everyday images contain dozens of objects, and that humans, in describing these images, give different priority to these objects. We argue that a goal of visual rec...

Keypoint Signatures for Fast Learning and Recognition
Abstract. Statistical learning techniques have been used to dramatically speed-up keypoint matching by training a classifier to recognize a specific set of keypoints. However, the ...

Modeling Geometric Structure and Illumination Variation of a Scene from Real Images
We present in this paper a system which automatically builds, from real images, a scene model containing both 3D geometric information of the scene structure and its photometric...
