A Topological Approach to Hierarchical Segmentation using Mean Shift
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...

Probabilistic Reverse Annotation for Large Scale Image Retrieval
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...

Object retrieval with large vocabularies and fast spatial matching
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...

Shape from Planar Curves: A Linear Escape from Flatland
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...
