Discriminative approaches for human pose estimation model the functional mapping, or conditional distribution, between image features and 3D pose. Learning such multi-modal models ...
In this article, we focus on the problem of large-scale instance-level image retrieval. For efficiency reasons, it is common to represent an image by a fixed-length descriptor w...
This paper presents a technique to learn dynamic appearance models from a small number of training frames. Under this framework, dynamic appearance is modelled as an unknown opera...
We propose an extension of the conformal (or geodesic) active contour framework in which the conformal factor depends not only on the position of the curve but also on the directi...
This paper brings together two recent developments in image analysis. We consider a new mathematical framework that provides illumination invariant descriptors for face detection....
