The Bag of Visual Words (BoV) paradigm has successfully been applied to image content analysis tasks such as image classification and object detection. The basic BoV approach ove...
We present a system capable of visually detecting pointing gestures and estimating the 3D pointing direction in real-time. We use Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) trained on different ...
Complex multimedia queries, aiming to retrieve from large databases those objects that best match the query specification, are usually processed by splitting them into a set of m ...

Abstract-- We present in this paper a way to achieve positioning tasks by visual servoing under complex luminance variations. To do that, we use as visual features the luminance of...
Detecting shadows from images can significantly improve the performance of several vision tasks such as object detection and tracking. Recent approaches have mainly used illuminat...
