The appearance of an object is composed of local structure. This local structure can be described and characterized by a vector of local features measured by local operators such a...
This paper presents a new statistical image segmentation algorithm, in which the texture features are modeled by Symmetric Alpha-Stable (SαS) distributions. These features are ef...
Food recognition is difficult because food items are deformable objects that exhibit significant variations in appearance. We believe the key to recognizing food is to exploit the...

This paper explores a view-based approach to recognize free-form objects in range images. We are using a set of local features that are easy to calculate and robust to partial occ...
We present a technique to adapt the domain of local features through the matching process to augment their discriminative power. We start with local affine features selected and n...
