Abstract--This paper addresses the problem of 3-D reconstruction of nonrigid objects from uncalibrated image sequences. Under the assumption of affine camera and that the nonrigid ...
One of the main challenges in image segmentation is to adapt prior knowledge about the objects/regions that are likely to be present in an image, in order to obtain more precise d...
Robots are rapidly evolving from factory work-horses to robot-companions. The future of robots, as our companions, is highly dependent on their abilities to understand, interpret ...
Visual dictionaries are widely employed in object recognition to map unordered bags of local region descriptors into feature vectors for image classification. Most visual dictiona...
In this paper, we describe an approach for mining images of objects (such as touristic sights) from community photo collections in an unsupervised fashion. Our approach relies on ...
