Efficient and accurate fitting of Active Appearance
Models (AAM) is a key requirement for many applications.
The most efficient fitting algorithm today is Inverse Compositional

We describe an algorithm for similar-image search which
is designed to be efficient for extremely large collections of
images. For each query, a small response set is selected by...

We present a fast and robust system for estimating structure
and motion using a stereo pair, with straight lines as
features. Our first set of contributions are efficient algorit...
Common visual codebook generation methods used in
a Bag of Visual words model, e.g. k-means or Gaussian
Mixture Model, use the Euclidean distance to cluster features
into visual...
In this work, we approach the classic Mumford-Shah problem from a curve evolution perspective. In particular, we let a given family of curves define the boundaries between regions...
