What makes a good model of natural images?
Many low-level vision algorithms assume a prior probability over images, and there has been great interest in trying to learn this prior from examples. Since images are very non G...

Beyond bottom-up: Incorporating task-dependent influences into a computational model of spatial attention
A critical function in both machine vision and biological vision systems is attentional selection of scene regions worthy of further analysis by higher-level processes such as obj...

Using Geometry Invariants for Camera Response Function Estimation
In this paper, we present a new single-image camera response function (CRF) estimation method using geometry invariants (GI). We derive mathematical properties and geometric inter...

Color Constancy using Natural Image Statistics
Although many color constancy methods exist, they are all based on specific assumptions such as the set of possible light sources, or the spatial and spectral characteristics of i...

Modelling Objects using Distribution and Topology of Multiscale Region Pairs
We propose a method for simultaneous detection, localization and segmentation of objects of a known category. We show that this is possible by using segments as features. To this ...

Flexible Object Models for Category-Level 3D Object Recognition
Today's category-level object recognition systems largely focus on fronto-parallel views of objects with characteristic texture patterns. To overcome these limitations, we pr...

Simultaneous Covariance Driven Correspondence (CDC) and Transformation Estimation in the Expectation Maximization Framework
This paper proposes a new registration algorithm, Covariance Driven Correspondences (CDC), that depends fundamentally on the estimation of uncertainty in point correspondences. Th...

The Hyperbolic Geometry of Illumination-Induced Chromaticity Changes
The non-negativity of color signals implies that they span a conical space with a hyperbolic geometry. We use perspective projections to separate intensity from chromaticity, and ...
