The aim of this work is to learn a shape prior model
for an object class and to improve shape matching with the
learned shape prior. Given images of example instances,
we can le...
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...

We study the problem of estimating the epipolar geometry
from apparent contours of smooth curved surfaces
with affine camera models. Since apparent contours are
viewpoint depend...
Visual tracking using active contours is usually accomplished in a static framework. The active contour tracks the object of interest in a given frame of an image sequence, and th...
We study the question of feature sets for robust visual object recognition, adopting linear SVM based human detection as a test case. After reviewing existing edge and gradient ba...
