Intense research on virtual machines has highlighted the need for flexible software architectures that allow quick evaluation of new design and implementation techniques. The inte...
A data model is a plan for building a database and is comparable to an architect's building plans. There are two major methodologies used to create a data model: the EntityRe...

We propose a novel Active Volume Model (AVM) which deforms in a free-form manner to minimize energy. Unlike Snakes and level-set active contours which only consider curves or surfa...
Abstract. We describe a new method for unsupervised structure learning of a hierarchical compositional model (HCM) for deformable objects. The learning is unsupervised in the sense...

Given an object model and a black-box measure of similarity between the model and candidate targets, we consider visual object tracking as a numerical optimization problem. During...
We propose a method for simultaneous detection, localization and segmentation of objects of a known category. We show that this is possible by using segments as features. To this ...
Efficient detection of objects in images is complicated by variations of object appearance due to intra-class object differences, articulation, lighting, occlusions, and aspect va...
