The active appearance model (AAM) is a powerful method for modeling deformable visual objects. One of the major drawbacks of the AAM is that it requires a training set of pseudo-d...
The goal of this paper is to find sparse and representative spatial priors that can be applied to part-based object localization. Assuming a GMRF prior over part configurations, w...
We present an object class detection approach which fully integrates the complementary strengths offered by shape matchers. Like an object detector, it can learn class models dire...
We propose a novel step toward the unsupervised segmentation of whole objects by combining "hints" of partial scene segmentation offered by multiple soft, binary mattes....

Model-based image interpretation extracts high-level information from images using a priori knowledge about the object of interest. The computational challenge in model fitting is...
