Local Statistic Based Region Segmentation with Automatic Scale Selection
Abstract. Recently, new segmentation models based on local information have emerged. They combine local statistics of the regions along the contour (inside and outside) to drive th...

Perspective Nonrigid Shape and Motion Recovery
We present a closed form solution to the nonrigid shape and motion (NRSM) problem from point correspondences in multiple perspective uncalibrated views. Under the assumption that t...

Tracking of Abrupt Motion Using Wang-Landau Monte Carlo Estimation
Abstract. We propose a novel tracking algorithm based on the WangLandau Monte Carlo sampling method which efficiently deals with the abrupt motions. Abrupt motions could cause conv...

Semidefinite Programming Heuristics for Surface Reconstruction Ambiguities
We consider the problem of reconstructing a smooth surface under constraints that have discrete ambiguities. These problems arise in areas such as shape from texture, shape from sh...

Image Feature Extraction Using Gradient Local Auto-Correlations
In this paper, we propose a method for extracting image features which utilizes 2 nd order statistics, i.e., spatial and orientational auto-correlations of local gradients. It enab...

Hamming Embedding and Weak Geometric Consistency for Large Scale Image Search
This paper improves recent methods for large scale image search. State-of-the-art methods build on the bag-of-features image representation. We, first, analyze bag-of-features in t...
