Color object recognition methods that are based on image retrieval algorithms can handle changes of illumination via image normalization, e.g. simple color-channel-normalization1 ...
Most face recognition systems only work well under quite constrained environments. In particular, the illumination conditions, facial expressions and head pose must be tightly con...
We analyze the illumination invariance of the level lines of an image. We show that if the scene surface has Lambertian reflectance and the light is directed, then a necessary and...

Providing a user with an effective image search engine has been a very active research area. A search by an object model is considered to be one of the most desirable and yet difï...
We address the problem of automatically learning object models for recognition and pose estimation. In contrast to the traditional approach, we formulate the recognition problem a...
