Shape-from-shading methods recover 3-D shape from intensity images. Often, Lambertian reflectance is assumed. The Lambertian assumption is attractive because it simplifies the a...

In studying the relationship between risk factors and breast cancer, the growth patterns of fat pads and glandular tissues are considered as important biomarkers. The aim of this ...

Most successful object recognition systems are based on a visual alphabet of quantised gradient orientations. Here, we introduce two richer image feature alphabets for use in obje...
We propose a film directing semantics taxonomy grounded upon cinematographic elements to unlock the immense potential for motion indexing in the subtler and much neglected film do...
In this paper we propose a 3D reconstruction algorithm by combining shape from silhouette with stereo. Visual hull of the object is first derived from multi-view silhouette image...
Large scale video copy detection task requires compact feature insensitive to various copy changes. Based on local feature trajectory behavior we discover invariant visual pattern...
Point-of-interest detection is a way of reducing the amount of data that needs to be processed in a certain application and is widely used in 2D image analysis. In 2D image analys...
Object detection in clutter or occlusion is a hard problem in computer vision. We propose an object detection method based on contour grouping. Two stages are included: a novel di...
