Vision-Based Behavior Prediction in Urban Traffic Environments by Scene Categorization
We propose a method for vision-based scene understanding in urban traffic environments that predicts the appropriate behavior of a human driver in a given visual scene. The method...

Localized fusion of Shape and Appearance features for 3D Human Pose Estimation
This paper presents a learning-based method for combining the shape and appearance feature types for 3D human pose estimation from single-view images. Our method is based on clust...

Histogram of Oriented Cameras - A New Descriptor for Visual SLAM in Dynamic Environments
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a basic prerequisite in autonomous mobile robotics. Most existing visual SLAM approaches either assume a static environment, or sim...

Clustered Pose and Nonlinear Appearance Models for Human Pose Estimation
We investigate the task of 2D articulated human pose estimation in unconstrained still images. This is extremely challenging because of variation in pose, anatomy, clothing, and i...

Pairwise Macropixel Comparison Can Work at Least as Well as Advanced Holistic Algorithms for Face Recognition
It is well known that, due to illumination effects and the registration/alignment problem, it does not make sense to compare the "values" of two single-pixels for face r...

A 2D+t Feature-preserving Non-local Means Filter for Image Denoising and Improved Detection of Small and Weak Particles
A feature-preserving non-local means (FP-NLM) filter has been developed recently for denoising images containing small and weak particlelike objects. It explores the commonly used...
