State of the art methods for image and object re-
trieval exploit both appearance (via visual words) and
local geometry (spatial extent, relative pose). In large
scale problems,...

Depth maps captured with time-of-flight cameras have
very low data quality: the image resolution is rather limited
and the level of random noise contained in the depth maps
is v...

We propose a novel probabilistic framework for learning
visual models of 3D object categories by combining appearance
information and geometric constraints. Objects are
represen...
Statistical approaches for building non-rigid deformable
models, such as the Active Appearance Model (AAM), have
enjoyed great popularity in recent years, but typically require
...

We propose to shift the goal of recognition from naming
to describing. Doing so allows us not only to name familiar
objects, but also: to report unusual aspects of a familiar
ob...
