Dissecting the Image of the Absolute Conic
In this paper, we revisit the role of the image of the absolute conic (IAC) in recovering the camera geometry. We derive new constraints on IAC that advance our understanding of i...

Dynamic Control of Adaptive Mixture-of-Gaussians Background Model
We propose a method for create a background model in non-stationary scenes. Each pixel has a dynamic Gaussian mixture model. Our approach can automatically change the number of Ga...
