Bottom-up segmentation tends to rely on local features. Yet, many natural and man-made objects contain repeating elements. Such structural and more spread-out features are importa...
Many objects have smooth surfaces of a fairly uniform color, thereby exhibiting shading patterns that reveal information about its shape, an important clue to the nature of the ob...

Illumination changes cause object appearance to change drastically and many existing tracking algorithms lack the capability to handle this problem. The Earth Mover's Distanc...
Object tracking is viewed as a two-class 'one-versusrest' classification problem, in which the sample distribution of the target is approximately Gaussian while the back...
