Detecting and matching repeated patterns for automatic geo-tagging in urban environments
We present a novel method for automatically geo-tagging photographs of man-made environments via detection and matching of repeated patterns. Highly repetitive environments introd...

Approximate earth mover's distance in linear time
The earth mover's distance (EMD) [16] is an important perceptually meaningful metric for comparing histograms, but it suffers from high (O(N3 log N)) computational complexity...

Efficient mean shift belief propagation for vision tracking
A mechanism for efficient mean-shift belief propagation (MSBP) is introduced. The novelty of our work is to use mean-shift to perform nonparametric mode-seeking on belief surfaces...

Demosaicing by smoothing along 1D features
Most digital cameras capture color pictures in the form of an image mosaic, recording only one color channel at each pixel position. Therefore, an interpolation algorithm needs to...

Visibility in bad weather from a single image
Bad weather, such as fog and haze, can significantly degrade the visibility of a scene. Optically, this is due to the substantial presence of particles in the atmosphere that abso...

SMRFI: Shape matching via registration of vector-valued feature images
We perform shape matching by transforming the problem of establishing shape correspondences into an image registration problem. At each vertex on the shape, we calculate a shape f...
