We consider the problem of segmenting an image into foreground and background, with foreground containing solely objects of interest known a priori. We propose an integration mode...
In some applications objects are known to have nonsmooth or “jagged” edges, which are not well approximated by smooth curves. We use subdivision curves as a simple but flexib...
This paper presents a new algorithm for the automatic recognition of object classes from images (categorization). Compact and yet discriminative appearance-based object class mode...
In this paper we present a method for learning classspecific
features for recognition. Recently a greedy layerwise
procedure was proposed to initialize weights of deep
belief ne...

We propose a new method for automated large scale gathering of Web images relevant to specified concepts. Our main goal is to build a knowledge base associated with as many conce...
