Lost in quantization: Improving particular object retrieval in large scale image databases
The state of the art in visual object retrieval from large databases is achieved by systems that are inspired by text retrieval. A key component of these approaches is that local ...

Extrinsic and depth calibration of ToF-cameras
Recently, ToF-cameras have attracted attention because of their ability to generate a full 21 2 D depth image at video frame rates. Thus, ToF-cameras are suitable for real-time 3D...

Looking around the backyard helps to recognize faces and digits
Human beings have the ability to learn to recognize a new visual category based on only one or few training examples. Part of this ability might come from the use of knowledge fro...
