Photometric stereo with coherent outlier handling and confidence estimation
In photometric stereo a robust method is required to deal with outliers, such as shadows and non-Lambertian reflections. In this paper we rely on a probabilistic imaging model tha...

Optimizing discrimination-efficiency tradeoff in integrating heterogeneous local features for object detection
A large variety of image features has been invented for detection of objects of a known class. We propose a framework to optimize the discrimination-efficiency tradeoff in integra...
