The objective of active recognition is to iteratively collect the next "best" measurements (e.g., camera angles or viewpoints), to maximally reduce ambiguities in recogn...
We consider the problem of imaging a scene with a given depth of field at a given exposure level in the shortest amount of time possible. We show that by (1) collecting a sequence ...
We present a dynamic near-regular texture (NRT) tracking algorithm nested in a lattice-based Markov-Random-Field (MRF) model of a 3D spatiotemporal space. One basic observation use...
Recognition of complex activities from surveillance video requires detection and temporal ordering of its constituent "atomic" events. It also requires the capacity to ro...
The problem we consider in this paper is to take a single two-dimensional image containing a human body, locate the joint positions, and use these to estimate the body configurati...
