We introduce the Tsallis divergence error measure in the context of pLSA matrix and tensor decompositions showing much improved performance in the presence of noise. The focus of ...
Discriminative methods for visual object category recognition are typically non-probabilistic, predicting class labels but not directly providing an estimate of uncertainty. Gauss...

Recent approaches to action classification in videos have used sparse spatio-temporal words encoding local appearance around interesting movements. Most of these approaches use a ...
In contrast to traditional Markov random field (MRF) models, we develop a Steerable Random Field (SRF) in which the field potentials are defined in terms of filter responses that ...
Many recognition algorithms depend on careful positioning of an object into a canonical pose, so the position of features relative to a fixed coordinate system can be examined. Cu...
We introduce a novel topological formulation for contour grouping. Our grouping criterion, called untangling cycles, exploits the inherent topological 1D structure of salient cont...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for scene modeling. The proposed method is able to automatically discover the intermediate semantic concepts. We utilize Maximization of...
We present a novel method to reconstruct the 3D shape of a scene from several calibrated images. Our motivation is that most existing multi-view stereovision approaches require so...

We extend the successful 2D robust feature concept into the third dimension in that we produce a descriptor for a reconstructed 3D surface region. The descriptor is perspectively ...
