While feature point recognition is a key component of modern approaches to object detection, existing approaches require computationally expensive patch preprocessing to handle pe...
We study visual attention by detecting a salient object in an input image. We formulate salient object detection as an image segmentation problem, where we separate the salient obj...

Epipolar geometry and relative camera pose computation are examples of tasks which can be formulated as minimal problems and solved from a minimal number of image points. Finding ...
We describe a new hierarchical representation for twodimensional objects that captures shape information at multiple levels of resolution. This representation is based on a hierar...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for foreground layer extraction using flash/no-flash image pairs, which we call flash cut. Flash cut is based on the simple observation t...

A method is proposed for estimating radiometric response functions from noise observations. From the statistical properties of noise sources, the noise distribution for each scene...
Facial activities are the most natural and powerful means of human communication. Spontaneous facial activity is characterized by rigid head movements, non-rigid facial muscular m...
This paper addresses the problem of robust optimal multi-view triangulation. We propose an abstract framework, as well as a practical algorithm, which finds the best 3D reconstruc...
