A NURBS-based spectral reflectance descriptor with applications in computer vision and pattern recognition
In this paper, we present a surface reflectance descriptor based on the control points resulting from the interpolation of Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) curves to multispe...

Large margin pursuit for a Conic Section classifier
Learning a discriminant becomes substantially more difficult when the datasets are high-dimensional and the available samples are few. This is often the case in computer vision an...

Visual Synset: Towards a higher-level visual representation
We present a higher-level visual representation, visual synset, for object categorization. The visual synset improves the traditional bag of words representation with better discr...

Using contours to detect and localize junctions in natural images
Contours and junctions are important cues for perceptual organization and shape recognition. Detecting junctions locally has proved problematic because the image intensity surface...

The Kneed Walker for human pose tracking
The Kneed Walker is a physics-based model derived from a planar biomechanical characterization of human locomotion. By controlling torques at the knees, hips and torso, the model ...

Spatio-temporal Saliency detection using phase spectrum of quaternion fourier transform
Salient areas in natural scenes are generally regarded as the candidates of attention focus in human eyes, which is the key stage in object detection. In computer vision, many mod...

High-arity interactions, polyhedral relaxations, and cutting plane algorithm for soft constraint optimisation (MAP-MRF)
LP relaxation approach to soft constraint optimisation (i.e. MAP-MRF) has been mostly considered only for binary problems. We present its generalisation to n-ary problems, includi...
