Action bank: A high-level representation of activity in video
Activity recognition in video is dominated by low- and mid-level features, and while demonstrably capable, by nature, these features carry little semantic meaning. Inspired by the...

Large scale metric learning from equivalence constraints
In this paper, we raise important issues on scalability and the required degree of supervision of existing Mahalanobis metric learning methods. Often rather tedious optimization p...

Bridging the past, present and future: Modeling scene activities from event relationships and global rules
This paper addresses the discovery of activities and learns the underlying processes that govern their occurrences over time in complex surveillance scenes. To this end, we propos...

A codebook-free and annotation-free approach for fine-grained image categorization
Fine-grained categorization refers to the task of classifying objects that belong to the same basic-level class (e.g. different bird species) and share similar shape or visual app...

Graph cuts optimization for multi-limb human segmentation in depth maps
We present a generic framework for object segmentation using depth maps based on Random Forest and Graph-cuts theory, and apply it to the segmentation of human limbs in depth maps...

General trajectory prior for Non-Rigid reconstruction
Trajectory basis Non-Rigid Structure From Motion (NRSFM) currently faces two problems: the limit of reconstructability and the need to tune the basis size for different sequences....

Scale resilient, rotation invariant articulated object matching
A novel method is proposed for matching articulated objects in cluttered videos. The method needs only a single exemplar image of the target object. Instead of using a small set o...

Detection by detections: Non-parametric detector adaptation for a video
We propose an approach to improving the detection results of a generic offline trained detector on a specific video. Our method does not leverage visual tracking as most detecti...
