In this paper, we present a new method for segmenting closed contours and surfaces. Our work builds on a variant of the Fast Marching algorithm. First, an initial point on the des...
See www.research.microsoft.com/jojic/epitome.htm for videos, comparisons and applications. We present novel simple appearance and shape models that we call epitomes. The epitome o...
This paper describes a framework for learning probabilistic models of objects and scenes and for exploiting these models for tracking complex, deformable, or articulated objects i...
Viewpoint invariant pedestrian recognition is an important yet under-addressed problem in computer vision. This is likely due to the difficulty in matching two objects with unknown...
In high-dimensional and complex metric spaces, determining the nearest neighbor (NN) of a query object ? can be a very expensive task, because of the poor partitioning operated by...
