We present a component-based system for object detection and identification. From a set of training images of a given object we extract a large number of components which are clust...

PCA-SIFT is an extension to SIFT which aims to reduce SIFT’s high dimensionality (128 dimensions) by applying PCA to the gradient image patches. However PCA is not a discriminati...
We present a taxonomy for local distance functions where most existing algorithms can be regarded as approximations of the geodesic distance defined by a metric tensor. We categor...
Point clouds are sets of points in two or three dimensions. Most kernel methods for learning on sets of points have not yet dealt with the specific geometrical invariances and pra...
This paper addresses the problem of recognizing shadows from monochromatic natural images. Without chromatic information, shadow classification is very challenging because the in...
