Articulated pose estimation with parts connectivity using discriminative local oriented contours
This paper proposes contour-based features for articulated pose estimation. Most of recent methods are designed using tree-structured models with appearance evaluation only within...

The Shape Boltzmann Machine: A strong model of object shape
A good model of object shape is essential in applications such as segmentation, object detection, inpainting and graphics. For example, when performing segmentation, local constra...

Model recommendation for action recognition
Simply choosing one model out of a large set of possibilities for a given vision task is a surprisingly difficult problem, especially if there is limited evaluation data with whi...

Linear solution to scale invariant global figure ground separation
We propose a novel linear method for scale invariant figure ground separation in images and videos. Figure ground separation is treated as a superpixel labeling problem. We optim...

Augmenting deformable part models with irregular-shaped object patches
The performance of part-based object detectors generally degrades for highly flexible objects. The limited topological structure of models and pre-specified part shapes are two ...

Fast Joint Estimation of Silhouettes and Dense 3D Geometry from Multiple Images
—We propose a probabilistic formulation of joint silhouette extraction and 3D reconstruction given a series of calibrated 2D images. Instead of segmenting each image separately i...

Object Detection Using Principal Contour Fragments
Abstract—Contour features play an important role in object recognition. Psychological experiments have shown that maximum-curvature points are most distinctive along a contour [6...

Edge foci interest points
In this paper, we describe an interest point detector using edge foci. Unlike traditional detectors that compute interest points directly from image intensities, we use normalized...

Graph-based robust shape matching for robotic application
— Shape is one of the useful information for object detection. The human visual system can often recognize objects based on the 2-D outline shape alone. In this paper, we address...

Background Robust Object Labeling by Voting of Weight-Aggregated Local Features
In this paper, we present a new voting-based object labeling method that is robust to background clutter. The conventional simple voting method shows very poor performance under c...
