A Hierarchical Model of Dynamics for Tracking People with a Single Video Camera
We propose a novel hierarchical model of human dynamics for view independent tracking of the human body in monocular video sequences. The model is trained using real data from a c...

The Cross Ratio: A Revisit to its Probability Density Function
The cross ratio has wide applications in computer vision because of its invariance under projective transformation. In active vision where the projections of quadruples of colline...

Face Recognition using the Moving Window Classifier
The Moving Window Classifier(MWC) has previously been proposed as an efficient scheme for text recognition applications. In this paper, the potential of the MWC algorithm in face ...

Parallel Chains, Delayed Rejection and Reversible Jump MCMC for Object Recognition
We tackle the problem of object recognition using a Bayesian approach. A marked point process [1] is used as a prior model for the (unknown number of) objects. A sample is generat...

Dual Representations for Vision-Based 3D Reconstruction
We consider the problem of representing sets of 3D points in the context of 3D reconstruction from point matches. We present a new representation for sets of 3D points, which is g...

Extraction of Motion Data from Image Sequences to Assist Animators
We describe a system which is designed to assist animators in extracting high-level information from sequences of images. The system is not meant to replace animators, but to be a...

Fast Computation of a Boundary Preserving Estimate of Optical Flow
In this study we seek a fast method for robust, boundary preserving estimation of optical flow. Several studies have addressed this topic and proposed methods that account for vel...

Estimating the Structure of Textured Surfaces Using Local Affine Flow
This paper describes a novel approach for recovering the structure and motion of a rigid textured surface from an image sequence. Camera focal length is also recovered, yielding m...
