We describe a scalable approach to 3D smooth object retrieval which searches for and localizes all the occurrences of a user outlined object in a dataset of images in real time. T...
Abstract—Contour features play an important role in object recognition. Psychological experiments have shown that maximum-curvature points are most distinctive along a contour [6...
Nearest-neighbor queries are an important query type for commonly used feature databases. In many different application areas, e.g. sensor databases, location based services or fac...
In this paper we make use of the idea that a robot can autonomously discover objects and learn their appearances by poking and prodding at interesting parts of a scene. In order t...
Abstract. Computer vision algorithms for individual tasks such as object recognition, detection and segmentation have shown impressive results in the recent past. The next challeng...
