We present a practical framework for detecting and modeling 3D static occlusions for wide-baseline, multi-camera scenarios where the number of cameras is small. The framework cons...
The Middlebury Multi-View Stereo evaluation [18] clearly shows that the quality and speed of most multi-view stereo algorithms depends significantly on the number and selection of...
Image understanding involves analyzing many different aspects of the scene. In this paper, we are concerned with how these tasks can be combined in a way that improves the perform...
Online boosting methods have recently been used successfully for tracking, background subtraction etc. Conventional online boosting algorithms emphasize on interchanging new weak ...
Given an input video sequence of one person conducting a sequence of continuous actions, we consider the problem of jointly segmenting and recognizing actions. We propose a discri...

We present a novel method for the discovery and detection of visual object categories based on decompositions using topic models. The approach is capable of learning a compact and...
Human motion tracking is an important problem in computer vision. Most prior approaches have concentrated on efficient inference algorithms and prior motion models; however, few c...
