We introduce a non-linear shape prior for the deformable model framework that we learn from a set of shape samples using recent manifold learning techniques. We model a category o...
Non-rigid object alignment is especially challenging when only a single appearance template is available and target and template images fail to match. Two sources of discrepancy b...
Many vision tasks such as scene segmentation, or the recognition of materials within a scene, become considerably easier when it is possible to measure the spectral reflectance o...

Surface gradients are useful to surface reconstruction in single view modeling, shape-from-shading, and photometric stereo. Previous algorithms minimize a complex, nonlinear energ...
Video retargeting is the process of transforming an existing video to fit the dimensions of an arbitrary display. A compelling retargeting aims at preserving the viewers’ exper...
We address image parsing in the setting of architectural scenes. Our goal is to parse an image into regions of various types such as sky, foliage, buildings, and street. Furthermo...

Given a query image of an object, our objective is to retrieve all instances of that object in a large (1M+) image database. We adopt the bag-of-visual-words architecture which ha...

Camera networks are being used in more applications as different types of sensor networks are used to instrument large spaces. Here we show a method for localizing the cameras in ...
Abstract. We describe a visual communication application for a dark, theaterlike interactive virtual simulation training environment. Our system visually estimates and tracks the b...
