In this paper, we present a new method for tracking objects with shadows. Traditional motion-based tracking schemes cannot usually distinguish the shadow from the object itself, a...
Software complexity has increased substantially in the last decade. This has made software development teams work faster and under tight budgets. Reusing software can be a way of s...

A common design of an object recognition system has
two steps, a detection step followed by a foreground withinclass
classification step. For example, consider face detection

Inspired by psychophysical studies of the human cognitive abilities we propose a novel aspect and a method for performance evaluation of contour based shape recognition algorithms ...
We present a method for spotting words in the wild, i.e., in real images taken in unconstrained environments. Text found in the wild has a surprising range of difficulty. At one en...
