Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Microscopy: Physics-Based Image Reconstruction from Optical Coherence Tomography Data
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical ranging technique analogous to radar — detection of back-scattered light produces a signal that is temporally localized at times...

Robust Multi-Modal Group Action Recognition in Meetings from Disturbed Videos with the Asynchronous Hidden Markov Model
The Asynchronous Hidden Markov Model (AHMM) models the joint likelihood of two observation sequences, even if the streams are not synchronised. We explain this concept and how the...

Complex Motion Models for Simple Optical Flow Estimation
The selection of an optical flow method is mostly a choice from among accuracy, efficiency and ease of implementation. While variational approaches tend to be more accurate than lo...

An Improved Histogram of Edge Local Orientations for Sketch-Based Image Retrieval
Content-based image retrieval requires a natural image (e.g, a photo) as query, but the absence of such a query image is usually the reason for a search. An easy way to express the...
