The Fastest Pedestrian Detector in the West
We demonstrate a multiscale pedestrian detector operating in near real time (5 fps on 640x480 images) with state-of-the-art detection performance. The computational bottleneck of ...

Image-based walkthroughs from incremental and partial scene reconstructions
We present a scalable and incremental approach for creating interactive image-based walkthroughs from a dynamically growing collection of photographs of a scene. Prior approaches,...

Isotropic Granularity-tunable gradients partition (IGGP) descriptors for human detection
This paper presents a new descriptor for human detection in still images. It is referred to as isotropic granularity-tunable gradients partition (IGGP), which is extended from gra...

Improving object classification using semantic attributes
This paper shows how semantic attribute features can be used to improve object classification performance. The semantic attributes used fall into five groups: scene (e.g. `road�...

Skeleton Extraction via Anisotropic Heat Flow
We introduce a novel skeleton extraction algorithm in binary and gray-scale images, based on the anisotropic heat diffusion analogy. We propose to diffuse image in the dominance o...

Manifold Learning for ToF-based Human Body Tracking and Activity Recognition
In this paper, we propose a method for simultaneous human full-body pose tracking and activity recognition from time-of-flight (ToF) camera images. Simple and sparse depth cues ar...

A Wavelet Based Local Descriptor for Human Action Recognition
In interest point based human action recognition, local descriptors are used to represent information in the neighbourhood around each extracted space-time interest point. The per...

Embedding Visual Words into Concept Space for Action and Scene Recognition
In this paper we propose a novel approach to introducing semantic relations into the bag-of-words framework. We use the latent semantic models, such as LSA and pLSA, in order to d...

Back to the Future: Learning Shape Models from 3D CAD Data
Recognizing 3D objects from arbitrary view points is one of the most fundamental problems in computer vision. A major challenge lies in the transition between the 3D geometry of o...

Moving Camera Registration for Multiple Camera Setups in Dynamic Scenes
Many practical applications require an accurate knowledge of the extrinsic calibration (i.e., pose) of a moving camera. The existing SLAM and structure-from-motion solutions are n...
