Parameterized Kernel Principal Component Analysis: Theory and applications to supervised and unsupervised image alignment
Parameterized Appearance Models (PAMs) (e.g. eigentracking, active appearance models, morphable models) use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to model the shape and appearance of...

Multifunctional Whisker Arrays for Distance Detection, Terrain Mapping, and Object Feature Extraction
: Several species of animals use whiskers to accurately navigate and explore objects in the absence of vision. We have developed inexpensive arrays of artificial whiskers based on ...

3D Reconstruction of Background and Objects Moving on Ground Plane Viewed from a Moving Camera
We present a novel method to obtain a 3D Euclidean reconstruction of both the background and moving objects in a video sequence. We assume that, multiple objects are moving rigidl...

Segmentation of Vectorial Image Features Using Shape Gradients and Information Measures
In this paper, we propose to focus on the segmentation of vectorial features (e.g. vector fields or color intensity) using region-based active contours. We search for a domain that...

Visual servoing based on dynamic vision
This paper deals with the way to achieve positioning tasks by visual servoing in the case of planar and motionless objects whose shape is unknown. In fact, we consider here comple...
