Beyond Trees: MRF Inference via Outer-Planar Decomposition
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in Markov Random Fields (MRFs) is an NP-hard problem, and thus research has focussed on either finding efficiently solvable subclasses (e.g. t...

Toward Coherent Object Detection And Scene Layout Understanding
Detecting objects in complex scenes while recovering the scene layout is a critical functionality in many vision-based applications. Inspired by the work of [18], we advocate the ...

SVM for Edge-Preserving Filtering
In this paper, we propose a new method to construct an edge-preserving filter which has very similar response to the bilateral filter. The bilateral filter is a normalized convolu...

Building and Using a Semantivisual Image Hierarchy
A semantically meaningful image hierarchy can ease the human effort in organizing thousands and millions of pictures (e.g., personal albums), and help to improve performance of en...

Analyzing Spatially-varying Blur
Blur is caused by a pixel receiving light from multiple scene points, and in many cases, such as object motion, the induced blur varies spatially across the image plane. However, ...

An Object-Dependent Hand Pose Prior from Sparse Training Data
In this paper, we propose a prior for hand pose estimation that integrates the direct relation between a manipulating hand and a 3d object. This is of particular interest for a va...

A Hough Transform-Based Voting Framework for Action Recognition
We present a method to classify and localize human actions in video using a Hough transform voting framework. Random trees are trained to learn a mapping between densely-sampled f...

A Constant-Space Belief Propagation Algorithm for Stereo Matching
In this paper, we consider the problem of stereo matching using loopy belief propagation. Unlike previous methods which focus on the original spatial resolution, we hierarchically...
