We present a method that automatically partitions a single image into non-overlapping regions coherent in texture and colour. An assumption that each textured or coloured region ca...
This paper presents a novel solution to the difficult task of both detecting and estimating the 3D pose of humans in monoscopic images. The approach consists of two parts. Firstly ...
High angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) permits the computation of water molecule displacement probabilities over a sphere of possible displacement directions. This proba...

A novel and efficient method is presented for grouping feature points on the basis of their underlying symmetry and characterising the symmetries present in an image. We show how s...
Abstract. We formulate a robust method using Expectation Maximization (EM) to address the problem of dense photometric stereo. Previous approaches using Markov Random Fields (MRF) ...
In this paper we consider the problem of temporal texture modeling and synthesis. A temporal texture (or dynamic texture) is seen as the output of a dynamical system driven by whit...
Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of how to learn an appropriate feature representation from video to benefit video-based face recognition. By simultaneously exploiting th...
We propose a fast algorithm, EMD-L1, for computing the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between a pair of histograms. Compared to the original formulation, EMD-L1 has a largely si...
In recent years, nonlinear dimensionality reduction (NLDR) techniques have attracted much attention in visual perception and many other areas of science. We propose an efficient al...
