Spherical Harmonics vs. Haar Wavelets: Basis for Recovering Illumination from Cast Shadows
The problem of estimating an illumination distribution from images is called inverse lighting. For inverse lighting, three approaches have been developed based on specular reflect...

An Unsupervised, Online Learning Framework for Moving Object Detection
Object detection with a learned classifier has been applied successfully to difficult tasks such as detecting faces and pedestrians. Systems using this approach usually learn the ...

Towards Robust Structure-Based Enhancement and Horizon Picking in 3-D Seismic Data
We present a novel structure-enhancing adaptive filter guided by features derived from the Gradient Structure Tensor. We employ this filter to reduce noise in seismic data and to ...

Visual Odometry
We present a system that estimates the motion of a stereo head or a single moving camera based on video input. The system operates in real-time with low delay and the motion estim...

Grouping with Bias Revisited
In this paper, we improve and tailor a recent statistical region merging approach to biased (partially supervised) grouping. The approach appears to be attractive both for its the...

Extraction and Recognition of Periodically Deforming Objects by Continuous, Spatio-Temporal Shape Description
We demonstrate a novel approach to modelling arbitrary temporally-deforming objects using spatio-temporal Fourier descriptors. This is a continuous boundary descriptor, which can ...

Cue Integration through Discriminative Accumulation
Object recognition systems aiming to work in real world settings should use multiple cues in order to achieve robustness. We present a new cue integration scheme which extends the...
