Recent advances in scene understanding and related tasks
have highlighted the importance of using regions to reason
about high-level scene structure. Typically, the regions are

We describe a method for 3D object scanning by aligning depth scans that were taken from around an object with a time-of-flight camera. These ToF cameras can measure depth scans ...

Seeded image segmentation is a popular type of supervised image segmentation in computer vision and image processing. Previous methods of seeded image segmentation treat the image...
We present a method that unifies tracking and video content recognition with applications to Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR). We introduce the Radial Gradient Transform (RGT) and ...

When classifying high-dimensional sequence data, traditional methods (e.g., HMMs, CRFs) may require large amounts of training data to avoid overfitting. In such cases dimensional...
This paper addresses action spotting, the spatiotemporal detection and localization of human actions in video. A novel compact local descriptor of video dynamics in the context of...

This paper addresses the challenge of recognizing dynamic
textures based on their observed visual dynamics.
Typically, the term dynamic texture is used with reference
to image s...
Level set method based segmentation provides an efficient tool for topological and geometrical shape handling. Conventional level set surfaces are only C0 continuous since the le...
In this paper we consider the problem of outlier removal for large scale multiview reconstruction problems. An efficient and very popular method for this task is RANSAC. However, a...
