In this paper, we focus on the problem of detecting the head of cat-like animals, adopting cat as a test case. We show that the performance depends crucially on how to effectively ...
Active vision techniques use programmable light sources, such as projectors, whose intensities can be controlled over space and time. We present a broad framework for fast active v...

We propose a new local learning scheme that is based on the principle of decisiveness: the learned classifier is expected to exhibit large variability in the direction of the test ...
We study the task of object part extraction and labeling, which seeks to understand objects beyond simply identifiying their bounding boxes. We start from bottom-up segmentation of...
Abstract. Shape retrieval/matching is a very important topic in computer vision. The recent progress in this domain has been mostly driven by designing smart features for providing...

This paper presents an approach to shadow removal that preserves texture consistency between the original shadow and lit area. Illumination reduction in the shadow area not only da...
We propose a new method named compressive structured light for recovering inhomogeneous participating media. Whereas conventional structured light methods emit coded light patterns...

We show that the complexity of the recently introduced medoid-shift algorithm in clustering N points is O(N2 ), with a small constant, if the underlying distance is Euclidean. This...
We have created the first image search engine based entirely on faces. Using simple text queries such as "smiling men with blond hair and mustaches," users can search thr...
What does a blind entity need in order to determine the geometry of the set of photocells that it carries through a changing lightfield? In this paper, we show that very crude know...
