A Hand-held Photometric Stereo Camera for 3-D Modeling
This paper presents a simple yet practical 3-D modeling method for recovering surface shape and reflectance from a set of images. We attach a point light source to a hand-held c...

Joint optimization of segmentation and appearance models
Many interactive image segmentation approaches use an objective function which includes appearance models as an unknown variable. Since the resulting optimization problem is NP-har...

Learning Actions From the Web
This paper proposes a generic method for action recognition in uncontrolled videos. The idea is to use images collected from the Web to learn representations of actions and use ...

Bayesian selection of scaling laws for motion modeling in images
Based on scaling laws describing the statistical structure of turbulent motion across scales, we propose a multiscale and non-parametric regularizer for optic-flow estimation. R...

Top-Down Color Attention for Object Recognition
Generally the bag-of-words based image representation follows a bottom-up paradigm. The subsequent stages of the process: feature detection, feature description, vocabulary cons...

Unlabeled data improves word prediction
Labeling image collections is a tedious task, especially when multiple labels have to be chosen for each image. In this paper we introduce a new framework that extends state of ...

Detecting Objects in Large Image Collections and Videos by Efficient Subimage Retrieval
We study the task of detecting the occurrence of objects in large image collections or in videos, a problem that combines aspects of content based image retrieval and object locali...

A Probabilistic Framework for Partial Intrinsic Symmetries in Geometric Data
In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for partial intrinsic symmetry detection in 3D geometry. Unlike previous work, our algorithm is based on a conceptually simple and st...

A Latent Model of Discriminative Aspect
Recognition using appearance features is confounded by phenomena that cause images of the same object to look different, or images of different objects to look the same. This ma...

3D reconstruction from image collections with a single known focal length
In this paper we aim at reconstructing 3D scenes from images with unknown focal lengths downloaded from photosharing websites such as Flickr. First we provide a minimal solution...
