Rotation symmetry group detection via frequency analysis of frieze-expansions
We present a novel and effective algorithm for rotation symmetry group detection from real-world images. We propose a frieze-expansion method that transforms rotation symmetry gro...

A robust descriptor based on Weber's Law
Inspired by Weber's Law, this paper proposes a simple, yet very powerful and robust local descriptor, Weber Local Descriptor (WLD). It is based on the fact that human percept...

Partitioning of image datasets using discriminative context information
We propose a new method to partition an unlabeled dataset, called Discriminative Context Partitioning (DCP). It is motivated by the idea of splitting the dataset based only on how...

Scene understanding with discriminative structured prediction
Spatial priors play crucial roles in many high-level vision tasks, e.g. scene understanding. Usually, learning spatial priors relies on training a structured output model. In this...

Manifold-Manifold Distance with application to face recognition based on image set
In this paper, we address the problem of classifying image sets, each of which contains images belonging to the same class but covering large variations in, for instance, viewpoin...

Visual quasi-periodicity
Periodicity is at the core of the recognition of many actions. This paper takes the following steps to detect and measure periodicity. 1) We establish a conceptual framework of cl...

Subspace segmentation with outliers: A grassmannian approach to the maximum consensus subspace
Segmenting arbitrary unions of linear subspaces is an important tool for computer vision tasks such as motion and image segmentation, SfM or object recognition. We segment subspac...

Fast kernel learning for spatial pyramid matching
Spatial pyramid matching (SPM) is a simple yet effective approach to compute similarity between images. Similarity kernels at different regions and scales are usually fused by som...
