Local shape features for object recognition
We present a shape matching algorithm based on the chamfer distance transform which can be easily integrated into the well-known SIFT framework. The shape matching was designed to...

Neural net vector quantizers for discrete HMM-based on-line handwritten whiteboard-note recognition
In this work we evaluate a recently published vector quantization scheme, which has been developed to handle binary features like the pressure feature occurring in on-line handwri...

Towards estimation of dense disparities from stereo images containing large textureless regions
Stereo algorithms for structure reconstruction demand accurate disparities with low mismatch errors and false positives. Mismatch errors in large textureless regions force most ac...

Exploiting qualitative domain knowledge for learning Bayesian network parameters with incomplete data
When a large amount of data are missing, or when multiple hidden nodes exist, learning parameters in Bayesian networks (BNs) becomes extremely difficult. This paper presents a lea...

Making real games virtual: Tracking board game pieces
The same game is often played in real and virtual worlds. We integrate in-person and on-line playing of board games such as Go, bringing the real world into the virtual world. A p...
