Local distance functions: A taxonomy, new algorithms, and an evaluation
We present a taxonomy for local distance functions where most existing algorithms can be regarded as approximations of the geodesic distance defined by a metric tensor. We categor...

Matching as a non-cooperative game
With this paper we offer a game-theoretic perspective for the all-pervasive matching problem in computer vision. Specifically, we formulate the matching problem as a (population) ...

SURF Tracking
Most motion-based tracking algorithms assume that objects undergo rigid motion, which is most likely disobeyed in real world. In this paper, we present a novel motionbased trackin...

Attached shadow coding: Estimating surface normals from shadows under unknown reflectance and lighting conditions
We present a novel technique, termed attached shadow coding, for estimating surface normals from shadows when the reflectance and lighting conditions are unknown. Our key idea is ...

Robust dynamical model for simultaneous registration and segmentation in a variational framework: A Bayesian approach
We introduce a dynamical model for simultaneous registration and segmentation in a variational framework for image sequences, where the dynamics is incorporated using a Bayesian f...

Minimizing energy functions on 4-connected lattices using elimination
We describe an energy minimization algorithm for functions defined on 4-connected lattices, of the type usually encountered in problems involving images. Such functions are often ...

Complex volume and pose tracking with probabilistic dynamical models and visual hull constraints
We propose a method for estimating the pose of a human body using its approximate 3D volume (visual hull) obtained in real time from synchronized videos. Our method can cope with ...

Simultaneous photometric invariance and shape recovery
In this paper we identify the constraints under which the generally ill-posed problem of the simultaneous recovery of surface shape and its photometric invariants can be rendered ...

Video scene categorization by 3D hierarchical histogram matching
In this paper we present a new method for categorizing video sequences capturing different scene classes. This can be seen as a generalization of previous work on scene classifica...
