—Energy harvesting sensor platforms have opened up a new dimension to the design of network protocols. In order to sustain the network operation, the energy consumption rate cann...
Estimating the illumination and the reflectance properties
of an object surface from a sparse set of images is an
important but inherently ill-posed problem. The problem
becomes...

A common method for real-time segmentation of moving regions in image sequences involves "background subtraction," or thresholding the error between an estimate of the i...
The proliferation of low-cost infrared cameras gives us a new angle for attacking many unsolved vision problems by leveraging a larger range of the electromagnetic spectrum. A fir...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model shape variations. It encodes sparsity, exploits geometric redundancy, and accounts for the different degrees of local variation...
