Geometric min-Hashing: Finding a (Thick) Needle in a Haystack
We propose a novel hashing scheme for image retrieval, clustering and automatic object discovery. Unlike commonly used bag-of-words approaches, the spatial extent of image featu...

Learning sign language by watching TV (using weakly aligned subtitles)
The goal of this work is to automatically learn a large number of British Sign Language (BSL) signs from TV broadcasts. We achieve this by using the supervisory information avai...

Single Image Haze Removal Using Dark Channel Prior
In this paper, we propose a simple but effective image prior - dark channel prior to remove haze from a single input image. The dark channel prior is a kind of statistics of the...

Understanding Videos, Constructing Plots - Learning a Visually Grounded Storyline Model from Annotated Videos
Analyzing videos of human activities involves not only recognizing actions (typically based on their appearances), but also determining the story/plot of the video. The storyline...
