Surface Visibility Probabilities in 3D Cluttered Scenes
Many methods for 3D reconstruction in computer vision rely on probability models, for example, Bayesian reasoning. Here we introduce a probability model of surface visibilities in ...

Human Activity Recognition with Metric Learning
This paper proposes a metric learning based approach for human activity recognition with two main objectives: (1) reject unfamiliar activities and (2) learn with few examples. We s...

Learning for Optical Flow Using Stochastic Optimization
Abstract. We present a technique for learning the parameters of a continuousstate Markov random field (MRF) model of optical flow, by minimizing the training loss for a set of grou...

Learning Spatial Context: Using Stuff to Find Things
The sliding window approach of detecting rigid objects (such as cars) is predicated on the belief that the object can be identified from the appearance in a small region around the...

Multi-stage Contour Based Detection of Deformable Objects
We present an efficient multi stage approach to detection of deformable objects in real, cluttered images given a single or few hand drawn examples as models. The method handles de...
