Exploiting Part-Based Models and Edge Boundaries for Object Detection
This paper explores how to exploit shape information to perform object class recognition. We use a sparse partbased model to describe object categories defined by shape. The spars...

Texture Descriptors via Stable Distributions
In this paper, we present a texture descriptor which hinges in the use of the local image statistics so as to recover a compact representation of the texture under study. To this ...

Object Detection Using Multi-local Feature Manifolds
Many object categories are better characterized by the shape of their contour than by local appearance properties like texture or color. Multi-local features are designed in order...

GPU Accelerated Multimodal Background Subtraction
Although trivial background subtraction algorithms (such as temporal averaging) can execute quite quickly, they do not give useful results in most situations. More complex algorit...
