This paper addresses the problem of finding objects made of glass (or other transparent materials) in images. Since the appearance of glass objects depends for the most part on wha...
Gesture recognition methods based on intensity or color images often suffer from low efficiency and lack of robustness. In this paper, we employ a new laser-based camera that prod...
This paper addresses the problem of reconstructing the density of a scene from multiple projection images produced by modalities such as x-ray, electron microscopy, etc. where an ...

Researchers in psychology have well studied the impact of the pose of a face as perceived by humans, and concluded that the so-called 3/4 view, halfway between the front view and ...
We propose a novel technique for the registration of 3D point clouds which makes very few assumptions: we avoid any manual rough alignment or the use of landmarks, displacement ca...

In order to work well, many computer vision algorithms require that their parameters be adjusted according to the image noise level, making it an important quantity to estimate. W...

In this paper we propose diffusion distance, a new dissimilarity measure between histogram-based descriptors. We define the difference between two histograms to be a temperature f...
Inspired by the underlying relationship between classification capability and the mutual information, in this paper, we first establish a quantitative model to describe the inform...
Human faces manifest distinct structures and characteristics when observed in different scales. Traditional face recognition techniques mainly rely on low-resolution face images, ...
Near regular textures are pervasive in man-made and natural world. Their global regularity and local randomness pose new difficulties to the state of the art texture analysis and ...
