We present a novel algorithm that takes as input an uncalibrated unordered set of spherical panoramic images and outputs their relative pose up to a global scale. The panoramas co...
The growing ubiquity of cameras in hand-held devices and the prevalence of electronic displays in signage creates a novel framework for wireless communications. Traditionally, the...

We present a novel algorithm, Compact Kd-Trees (CompactKdt), that achieves state-of-the-art performance in searching large scale object image collections. The algorithm uses an or...
We combine and extend the previous work on DCT-based image signatures and face detection to determine the visual saliency. To this end, we transfer the scalar definition of image...
In sports broadcasts, networks consisting of pan-tiltzoom (PTZ) cameras usually exhibit very wide baselines, making standard matching techniques for camera calibration very hard t...

A convenient way of analysing Riemannian manifolds is to embed them in Euclidean spaces, with the embedding typically obtained by flattening the manifold via tangent spaces. This...
We introduce the Longterm Observation of Scenes (with Tracks) dataset. This dataset comprises videos taken from streaming outdoor webcams, capturing the same half hour, each day, ...

Human movements are important cues for recognizing human actions, which can be captured by explicit modeling and tracking of actor or through space-time low-level features. Howeve...
We propose an online algorithm based on local sparse representation for robust object tracking. Local image patches of a target object are represented by their sparse codes with a...
A piece of code in a computer program is infeasible if it cannot be part of any normally-terminating execution of the program. We develop an algorithm for the automatic detection o...
