We present the use of layered probabilistic representations for modeling human activities, and describe how we use the representation to do sensing, learning, and inference at mul...
In this paper we propose a new framework for modeling 2D shapes. A shape is first described by a sequence of local features (e.g., curvature) of the shape boundary. The resulting ...
We develop a hierarchical, nonparametric statistical model for wavelet representations of natural images. Extending previous work on Gaussian scale mixtures, wavelet coefficients ...

We propose in this paper a novel approach to the induction of the structure of Hidden Markov Models. The induced model is seen as a lumped process of a Markov chain. It is construc...
In this paper, a motion-based approach for detecting highlevel semantic events in video sequences is presented. Its main characteristic is its generic nature, i.e. it can be direc...
