Recognition systems have generally treated specular highlights as noise. We show how to use these highlights as a positive source of information that improves recognition of shiny...

Most diagrams, particularly those used in software engineering, are line drawings consisting of nodes drawn as rectangles or circles, and edges drawn as lines linking them. In the...
This paper describes a new approach to color image rendering for mixed reality applications. The approach has two steps. The first uses neural network based photometric stereo to ...

We present a new 3D shape descriptor based on conformal geometry. Our descriptor is invariant under non-rigid quasi-isometric transformations, such as pose changes of articulated ...
Scene understanding is an important problem in intelligent robotics. Since visual information is uncertain due to several reasons, we need a novel method that has robustness to the...
