Towards Wiki-based Dense City Modeling
This work reports on the advances and on the current status of a terrestrial city modeling approach, which uses images contributed by end-users as input. Hence, the Wiki principle...

Detecting Illumination in Images
In this paper we present a surprisingly simple yet powerful method for detecting illumination--determining which pixels are lit by different lights--in images. Our method is based...

Rock, Paper, and Scissors: extrinsic vs. intrinsic similarity of non-rigid shapes
This paper explores similarity criteria between non-rigid shapes. Broadly speaking, such criteria are divided into intrinsic and extrinsic, the first referring to the metric struc...

Visual Tracking by Affine Kernel Fitting Using Color and Object Boundary
Kernel-based trackers aggregate image features within the support of a kernel (a mask) regardless of their spatial structure. These trackers spatially fit the kernel (usually in l...

LogCut - Efficient Graph Cut Optimization for Markov Random Fields
Markov Random Fields (MRFs) are ubiquitous in lowlevel computer vision. In this paper, we propose a new approach to the optimization of multi-labeled MRFs. Similarly to -expansion...

A Nonlinear Discriminative Approach to AAM Fitting
The Active Appearance Model (AAM) is a powerful generative method for modeling and registering deformable visual objects. Most methods for AAM fitting utilize a linear parameter u...

Methods for space line localization from single catadioptric images: new proposals and comparisons
Line localization from a single image of a central camera is an ill-posed problem unless other constraints or apriori knowledge are exploited. Recently, it has been proved that no...

Proximity Distribution Kernels for Geometric Context in Category Recognition
We propose using the proximity distribution of vectorquantized local feature descriptors for object and category recognition. To this end, we introduce a novel "proximity dis...

A Scalable Approach to Activity Recognition based on Object Use
We propose an approach to activity recognition based on detecting and analyzing the sequence of objects that are being manipulated by the user. In domains such as cooking, where m...
