The aim of this paper is to find the best representation for the appearance of surfaces with Lambertian reflectance under varying illumination. Previous work using principal compo...
We present a hierarchical generative model for object recognition that is constructed by weakly-supervised learning. A key component is a novel, adaptive patch feature whose width...
In many vision problems, instead of having fully labeled training data, it is easier to obtain the input in small groups, where the data in each group is constrained to be from th...
We propose modeling images and related visual objects as bags of pixels or sets of vectors. For instance, gray scale images are modeled as a collection or bag of (X, Y, I) pixel v...
Binary segmentation, a problem of extracting foreground objects from the background, often arises in medical imaging and document processing. Popular existing solutions include Ex...
