We present a photometric stereo technique that operates on time-lapse sequences captured by static outdoor webcams over the course of several months. Outdoor webcams produce a lar...

We propose an approach to improving the detection results of a generic offline trained detector on a specific video. Our method does not leverage visual tracking as most detecti...
We propose a novel mode of feedback for image search, where a user describes which properties of exemplar images should be adjusted in order to more closely match his/her mental m...
Active learning aims to reduce the amount of labels required for classification. The main difficulty is to find a good trade-off between exploration and exploitation of the lab...
In many vision problems, rotation-invariant analysis is necessary or preferred. Popular solutions are mainly based on pose normalization or brute-force learning, neglecting the in...

In this work we seek to move away from the traditional paradigm for 2D object recognition whereby objects are identified in the image as 2D bounding boxes. We focus instead on: i...
We present a unified occlusion model for object instance detection under arbitrary viewpoint. Whereas previous approaches primarily modeled local coherency of occlusions or attem...
Despite much research on patch-based descriptors, SIFT remains the gold standard for finding correspondences across images and recent descriptors focus primarily on improving spe...
We consider the problem of minimum distortion intrinsic correspondence between deformable shapes, many useful formulations of which give rise to the NP-hard quadratic assignment p...
We present a model and an algorithm to detect salient regions in video taken from a moving camera. In particular, we are interested in capturing small objects that move independen...
