Detection of objects of a given class is important for many applications. However it is difficult to learn a general detector with high detection rate as well as low false alarm r...
Cascades of boosted ensembles have become popular in the object detection community following their highly successful introduction in the face detector of Viola and Jones [1]. In t...

We present a system capable of visually detecting pointing gestures and estimating the 3D pointing direction in real-time. We use Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) trained on different ...
This paper is concerned with a particular application of image stabilization1 . Image stabilization is a necessary step to reduce the effect of camera motion when, as in this case...

This paper develops a new approach for extremely fast detection in domains where the distribution of positive and negative examples is highly skewed (e.g. face detection or databa...
