The aim of color constancy is to remove the effect of the
color of the light source. As color constancy is inherently
an ill-posed problem, most of the existing color constancy

We propose a polynomial-time algorithm for segmentation
and (open) boundary estimation which takes into account
a series of user-specified attraction points. In contrast
to exis...

We present an image restoration method that leverages
a large database of images gathered from the web. Given
an input image, we execute an efficient visual search to
find the c...

The state-of-the art in visual object retrieval from large
databases allows to search millions of images on the object
level. Recently, complementary works have proposed systems

Our objective is to obtain a state-of-the art object category
detector by employing a state-of-the-art image classifier
to search for the object in all possible image subwindows....

We present a fast and robust system for estimating structure
and motion using a stereo pair, with straight lines as
features. Our first set of contributions are efficient algorit...
Scenes with cast shadows can produce complex sets of
images. These images cannot be well approximated by lowdimensional
linear subspaces. However, in this paper we
show that the...
In this paper we propose a robust visual tracking method
by casting tracking as a sparse approximation problem in a
particle filter framework. In this framework, occlusion, corru...
Supervised learning of a parts-based model can be for-
mulated as an optimization problem with a large (exponen-
tial in the number of parts) set of constraints. We show how
thi...

Markov Random Field is now ubiquitous in many formulations
of various vision problems. Recently, optimization
of higher-order potentials became practical using higherorder
graph...
