Directed Assistance for Ink-Bleed Reduction in Old Documents
Ink-bleed interference is a serious problem that affects the legibility of old documents. Ink-bleed can be reduced reasonably well using pixel classification based on user supplie...

How far can you get with a modern face recognition test set using only simple features?
In recent years, large databases of natural images have become increasingly popular in the evaluation of face and object recognition algorithms. However, Pinto et al. previously ...

What is the Spatial Extent of an Object?
This paper discusses the question: Can we improve the recognition of objects by using their spatial context? We start from Bag-of-Words models and use the Pascal 2007 dataset. We u...

Curved Glide-Reflection Symmetry Detection
We generalize reflection symmetry detection to a curved glide-reflection symmetry detection problem. We propose a unifying, local feature-based approach for curved glidereflectio...

Shape Constrained Figure-Ground Segmentation and Tracking
Global shape information is an effective top-down complement to bottom-up figure-ground segmentation as well as a useful constraint to avoid drift during adaptive tracking. We p...

Marked Point Processes for Crowd Counting
A Bayesian marked point process (MPP) model is developed to detect and count people in crowded scenes. The model couples a spatial stochastic process governing number and placem...

3D Pose Estimation and Segmentation using Specular Cues
We present a system for fast model-based segmentation and 3D pose estimation of specular objects using appearance based specular features. We use observed (a) specular reflection...

Multiphase Geometric Couplings for the Segmentation of Neural Processes
The ability to constrain the geometry of deformable models for image segmentation can be useful when information about the expected shape or positioning of the objects in a scene i...

Uncalibrated Synthetic Aperture Photography for Defocus Control
Exaggerated defocus cannot be achieved with an ordinary compact digital camera because of its tiny sensor size, so taking pictures that draw the attention of a viewer to the subjec...
