In contrast to traditional document retrieval, a web page as a whole is not a good information unit to search because it often contains multiple topics and a lot of irrelevant inf...
Object models based on bag-of-words representations can achieve state-of-the-art performance for image classification and object localization tasks. However, as they consider obje...
Shape symmetry is an important cue for image understanding. In the absence of more detailed prior shape information, segmentation can be significantly facilitated by symmetry. How...
This paper introduces multi-scale tree-based approaches to image segmentation, using Rissanen's coding theoretic minimum description length (MDL) principle to penalize overly...
In this paper, we present an approach toward pedestrian detection and tracking from infrared imagery using joint shape and appearance cues. A layered representation is first intr...
