We present a new method for summarizing images for the purposes of matching and registration. We take the point of view that large, coherent regions in the image provide a concise...
We introduce a new rational function (RF) model for radial lens distortion in wide-angle and catadioptric lenses, which allows the simultaneous linear estimation of motion and len...
Statistical shape-and-texture appearance models employ image metamorphosis to form a rich, compact representation of object appearance. They achieve their efficiency by decomposin...
A new robust matching method is proposed. The Progressive Sample Consensus (PROSAC) algorithm exploits the linear ordering defined on the set of correspondences by a similarity fu...
We present a method for training a similarity metric from data. The method can be used for recognition or verification applications where the number of categories is very large an...
During the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) landings, the Descent Image Motion Estimation System (DIMES) was used for horizontal velocity estimation. The DIMES algorithm combines mea...
Recently, "epitomes" were introduced as patch-based probability models that are learned by compiling together a large number of examples of patches from input images. In...
Human hair is a very complex visual pattern whose representation is rarely studied in the vision literature despite its important role in human recognition. In this paper, we prop...
We present a new approach, called local discriminant embedding (LDE), to manifold learning and pattern classification. In our framework, the neighbor and class relations of data a...
