Previous studies have demonstrated that the appearance of an object under varying illumination conditions can be represented by a low-dimensional linear subspace. A set of basis i...
This paper presents a method to process axial monocular image sequences for mobile robot obstacle detection. We do not aim to achieve a complete scene reconstruction, but only to ...
We prove that the set of all Lambertian reflectance functions (the mapping from surface normals to intensities) obtained with arbitrary distant light sources lies close to a 9D lin...
The appearance of an object depends on both the viewpoint from which it is observed and the light sources by which it is illuminated. If the appearance of two objects is never iden...
To learn a new visual category from few examples, prior knowledge from unlabeled data as well as previous related categories may be useful. We develop a new method for transfer le...
