We analyze the least?squares error for structure from motion with a single infinitesimal motion ("structure from optical flow"). We present asymptotic approximations to ...
The problem of tracking a varying number of non-rigid objects has two major difficulties. First, the observation models and target distributions can be highly non-linear and non-Ga...

This paper proposes a robust estimation and validation framework for characterizing local structures in a positive multi-variate continuous function approximated by a Gaussian-base...
Suppose that two perspective views of four world points are given, that the intrinsic parameters are known, but the camera poses and the world point positions are not. We prove tha...
The problem of Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) originally arose from the robotics community and is closely related to the problems of camera motion estimation and stru...
We explore the possibility of recognizing the surface material from a single image with unknown illumination, given the shape of the surface. Model-based PCA is used to create a lo...
Our purpose is to provide an augmented reality system for Radio-Frequency guidance that could superimpose a 3D model of the liver, its vessels and tumors (reconstructed from CT ima...
In object tracking, change of object aspect is a cause of failure due to significant changes of object appearances. The paper proposes an approach to this problem without a priori ...
We present a probabilistic framework for recognizing objects in images of cluttered scenes. Hundreds of objects may be considered and searched in parallel. Each object is learned f...
We present an algorithm for color classification with explicit illuminant estimation and compensation. A Gaussian classifier is trained with color samples from just one training im...
