A Unified Optimization Based Learning Method for Image Retrieval
In this paper, an optimization based learning method is proposed for image retrieval from graph model point of view. Firstly, image retrieval is formulated as a regularized optimi...

Corrected Laplacians: Closer Cuts and Segmentation with Shape Priors
We optimize over the set of corrected laplacians (CL) associated with a weighted graph to improve the average case normalized cut (NCut) of a graph. Unlike edge-relaxation SDPs, o...

Robust and Efficient Foreground Analysis for Real-Time Video Surveillance
We present a new method to robustly and efficiently analyze foreground when we detect background for a fixed camera view by using mixture of Gaussians models and multiple cues. Th...

Combining Object and Feature Dynamics in Probabilistic Tracking
Objects can exhibit different dynamics at different scales, and this is often exploited by visual tracking algorithms. A local dynamic model is typically used to extract image fea...

Local Color Transfer via Probabilistic Segmentation by Expectation-Maximization
We address the problem of regional color transfer between two natural images by probabilistic segmentation. We use a new Expectation-Maximization (EM) scheme to impose both spatia...

Classification of Contour Shapes Using Class Segment Sets
Both example-based and model-based approaches for classifying contour shapes can encounter difficulties when dealing with classes that have large nonlinear variability, especially...

Feature Kernel Functions: Improving SVMs Using High-Level Knowledge
Kernel functions are often cited as a mechanism to encode prior knowledge of a learning task. But it can be difficult to capture prior knowledge effectively. For example, we know ...

Multi-View Geometry for General Camera Models
We consider the structure from motion problem for a previously introduced, highly general imaging model, where cameras are modeled as possibly unconstrained sets of projection ray...

Selection and Fusion of Color Models for Feature Detection
The choice of a color space is of great importance for many computer vision algorithms (e.g. edge detection and object recognition). It induces the equivalence classes to the actu...

Feature Uncertainty Arising from Covariant Image Noise
Uncertainty estimates related to the position of image features are seeing increasing use in several computer vision problems. Many of these have been recast from standard least s...
