This paper introduces a novel way to leverage the implicit geometry of sparse local features (e.g. SIFT operator) for the purposes of object detection and segmentation. A two-clas...
Object detection is challenging partly due to the limited discriminative power of local feature descriptors. We amend this limitation by incorporating spatial constraints among ne...
In this paper, we propose a novel framework to jointly recover the illumination environment and an estimate of the cast shadows in a scene from a single image, given coarse 3D geo...
In recent years the Markov Random Field (MRF) has
become the de facto probabilistic model for low-level vision
applications. However, in a maximum a posteriori
(MAP) framework, ...

Previous pixel-level change detection methods either contain a background updating step that is costly for moving cameras (background subtraction) or can not locate object positio...
