Recognizing and localizing specular (or mirror-like) surfaces from a single image is a great challenge to computer vision. Unlike other materials, the appearance of a specular sur...
Creating uniform lighting for archival-quality document acquisition remains a non-trivial problem. We propose a novel method for automatic photometric correction of nonplanar docu...
In this paper we present a method for learning a curve model for detection and segmentation by closely integrating a hierarchical curve representation using generative and discrim...

We build word models for American Sign Language (ASL) that transfer between different signers and different aspects. This is advantageous because one could use large amounts of la...
The use of video sequences for face recognition has been relatively less studied than image-based approaches. In this paper, we present a framework for face recognition from video...
This paper proposes a novel model-guided segmentation framework utilizing a statistical surface wavelet model as a shape prior. In the model building process, a set of training sh...

Many computer vision applications rely on the efficient optimization of challenging, so-called non-submodular, binary pairwise MRFs. A promising graph cut based approach for optim...

This paper presents reliable techniques for detecting, tracking, and storing keyframes of people in surveillance video. The first component of our system is a novel face detector ...
Image segmentation plays an important role in computer vision and image analysis. In this paper, the segmentation problem is formulated as a labeling problem under a probability m...
This paper proposes a discriminative framework for efficiently aligning images. Although conventional Active Appearance Models (AAM)-based approaches have achieved some success, t...
