We propose a novel framework for contour based object
detection and recognition, which we formulate as a joint
contour fragment grouping and labeling problem. For a
given set of...

We present an approach to visual tracking based on dividing a
target into multiple regions, or fragments. The target is represented
by a Gaussian mixture model in a joint feature...
Many machine learning algorithms require the summation of Gaussian kernel
functions, an expensive operation if implemented straightforwardly. Several methods
have been proposed t...

We propose in this paper to unify two different ap-
proaches to image restoration: On the one hand, learning a
basis set (dictionary) adapted to sparse signal descriptions
has p...

A common design of an object recognition system has
two steps, a detection step followed by a foreground withinclass
classification step. For example, consider face detection
by...
We introduce an algorithm that guides the user to tag
faces in the best possible order during a face recognition assisted
tagging scenario. In particular, we extend the active
l...

This paper presents a novel method for detecting scale
invariant keypoints. It fills a gap in the set of available
methods, as it proposes a scale-selection mechanism for
juncti...

Partially occluded faces are common in many applications
of face recognition. While algorithms based on sparse
representation have demonstrated promising results, they
achieve t...

Local experts have been used to great effect for fitting deformable
models to images. Typically, the best location in
an image for the deformable model’s landmarks are found
t...
Unsupervised over-segmentation of an image into superpixels
is a common preprocessing step for image parsing
algorithms. Superpixels are used as both regions of support
for feat...
