Automatically determining facial similarity is a difficult and open question in computer vision. The problem is complicated both because it is unclear what facial features humans ...
Mean shift is a popular method to segment images and videos. Pixels are represented by feature points, and the segmentation is driven by the point density in feature space. In thi...
Automatic annotation is an elegant alternative to explicit recognition in images. In annotation, the image is matched with keyword models, and the most relevant keywords are assig...
This paper proposes a novel method to apply the standard graph cut technique to segmenting multimodal tensor valued images. The Riemannian nature of the tensor space is explicitly...
Detecting nonrigid surfaces is an interesting research problem for computer vision and image analysis. One important challenge of nonrigid surface detection is how to register a n...
In this paper, we present a large-scale object retrieval system. The user supplies a query object by selecting a region of a query image, and the system returns a ranked list of i...

In this paper, we propose a human action recognition system suitable for embedded computer vision applications in security systems, human-computer interaction and intelligent envi...
We investigate the problem of finding the metric structure of a general 3D scene viewed by a moving camera with square pixels and constant unknown focal length. While the problem ...
We propose a novel unsupervised learning framework for activity perception. To understand activities in complicated scenes from visual data, we propose a hierarchical Bayesian mod...
We revisit the problem of recovering 3D shape from the projection of planar curves on a surface. This problem is strongly motivated by perception studies. Applications include sin...
