A Theory of Active Object Localization
We present some theoretical results related to the problem of actively searching for a target in a 3D environment, under the constraint of a maximum search time. We define the o...

The One-Shot Similarity Kernel
The One-Shot similarity measure has recently been introduced in the context of face recognition where it was used to produce state-of-the-art results. Given two vectors, their O...

Learning Based Digital Matting
We cast some new insights into solving the digital matting problem by treating it as a semi-supervised learning task in machine learning. A local learning based approach and a g...

Shadow cameras: Reciprocal views from illumination masks
Scene appearance from the point of view of a light source is called a reciprocal or dual view. Since there exists a large diversity in illumination, these virtual views may be no...

Convex Optimization for Multi-Class Image Labeling with a Novel Family of Total Variation Based Regularizers
We introduce a linearly weighted variant of the total variation for vector fields in order to formulate regularizers for multi-class labeling problems with non-trivial interclass...

Beyond Connecting the Dots: A Polynomial-time Algorithm for Segmentation and Boundary Estimation with Imprecise User Input
We propose a polynomial-time algorithm for segmentation and (open) boundary estimation which takes into account a series of user-specified attraction points. In contrast to exis...

Beyond the Euclidean distance: Creating effective visual codebooks using the histogram intersection kernel
Common visual codebook generation methods used in a Bag of Visual words model, e.g. k-means or Gaussian Mixture Model, use the Euclidean distance to cluster features into visual...

Color Constancy using 3D Scene Geometry
The aim of color constancy is to remove the effect of the color of the light source. As color constancy is inherently an ill-posed problem, most of the existing color constancy ...
