Oriented patterns, e.g. fingerprints, consist of smoothly
varying flow-like patterns, together with important singular
points (i.e. cores and deltas) where the orientation change...

In this paper we present an adaptive but robust object
detector for static cameras by introducing classifier grids.
Instead of using a sliding window for object detection we
pro...

In this paper we revisit local feature detectors/descriptors developed for 2D images and extend them to the more general framework of scalar fields defined on 2D manifolds. We pro...

In this paper, we present a new method for vision-based, reactive robot navigation that enables a robot to move in the middle of the free space by exploiting both central and peri...
We present a general method of catadioptric sensor design for realizing prescribed projections. Our method makes use of geometric distributions in 3-dimensional space, which are g...
