Abstract. This paper presents a method to decompose a field of surface normals (needle-map). A diffusion process is used to model the flow of height information induced by a fi...
Variation in object shape is an important visual cue for deformable object recognition and classification. In this paper, we present an approach to model gradual changes in the ?-...
Active learning strategies can be useful when manual labeling
effort is scarce, as they select the most informative

In this paper we present a symmetry-based approach which can be used to detect humans and to extract biometric characteristics from video image-sequences. The method employs a simp...
When one scans a document page from a thick bound volume, the curvature of the page to be scanned results in two kinds of distortion in the scanned document images: i) shade along...
