Shape Guided Contour Grouping with Particle Filters
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...

Adaptive Fragments-Based Tracking of Non-Rigid Objects Using Level Sets
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...

Efficient subset selection based on the Renyi entropy
Many machine learning algorithms require the summation of Gaussian kernel functions, an expensive operation if implemented straightforwardly. Several methods have been proposed t...

Non-Local Sparse Models for Image Restoration
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...

Is a detector only good for detection?
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...

Which Faces to Tag: Adding Prior Constraints into Active Learning
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...

Detecting Interpretable and Accurate Scale-Invariant keypoints
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...

Face Recognition With Contiguous Occlusion Using Markov Random Fields
Partially occluded faces are common in many applications of face recognition. While algorithms based on sparse representation have demonstrated promising results, they achieve t...

Deformable Model Fitting with a Mixture of Local Experts
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...

Scene Shape Priors for Superpixel Segmentation
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...
