The ability to detect a persons unconstrained hand in a natural video sequence has applications in sign language, gesture recognition and HCI. This paper presents a novel, unsuper...
Coarse-to-fine classification is an efficient way of organizing object recognition in order to accommodate a large number of possible hypotheses and to systematically exploit shar...
The sliding window approach of detecting rigid objects (such as cars) is predicated on the belief that the object can be identified from the appearance in a small region around the...
