We present a method for object categorization in real-world scenes. Following a common consensus in the field, we do not assume that a figure-ground segmentation is available prior...
Abstract. Modeling the statistical structure of natural images is interesting for reasons related to neuroscience as well as engineering. Currently, this modeling relies heavily on...
—Deformable models have recently been proposed for many pattern recognition applications due to their ability to handle large shape variations.These proposed approaches represent...
The performance of face recognition systems that use two-dimensional images depends on consistent conditions w.r.t. lighting, pose, and facial appearance. We are developing a face...
This paper presents a novel shape recovery technique that combines photometric stereo with polarization information. First, a set of ambiguous surface normals are estimated from po...
