Extraction of Person Silhouettes from Surveillance Imagery using MRFs
We present a method for the simultaneous detection and segmentation of objects from static images. We employ lowlevel contour features that enable us to learn the coarse object sh...

Parallel radial basis function methods for the global optimization of expensive functions
We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...

Faster and more accurate face detection on mobile robots using geometric constraints
— We develop a framework to allow generic object detection algorithms to exploit geometric information commonly available to robot vision systems. Robot systems take pictures wit...

Object Class Recognition and Localization Using Sparse Features with Limited Receptive Fields
We investigate the role of sparsity and localized features in a biologically-inspired model of visual object classification. As in the model of Serre, Wolf, and Poggio, we first a...

The Chessboard Distance Transform and the Medial Axis Transform are Interchangeable
The distance transform (DT) and the medial axis transform (MAT) are two image computation tools used to extract the information about the shape and the position of the foreground ...
