Markov Random Field is now ubiquitous in many formulations
of various vision problems. Recently, optimization
of higher-order potentials became practical using higherorder
graph...
We present a manifold learning approach to dimensionality
reduction that explicitly models the manifold as a mapping
from low to high dimensional space. The manifold is
represen...
We present a method to learn visual attributes (eg.“red”,
“metal”, “spotted”) and object classes (eg. “car”,
“dress”, “umbrella”) together. We assume imag...
We present a novel variant of the RANSAC algorithm
that is much more efficient, in particular when dealing with
problems with low inlier ratios. Our algorithm assumes
that there...
Fusing partial estimates is a critical and common problem
in many computer vision tasks such as part-based detection
and tracking. It generally becomes complicated and
intractab...
In this paper, we introduce a novel iterative motion tracking
framework that combines 3D tracking techniques with
motion retrieval for stabilizing markerless human motion
captur...

Face identification is the problem of determining
whether two face images depict the same person or not.
This is difficult due to variations in scale, pose, lighting,
background...

Random Forests (RFs) have become commonplace
in many computer vision applications. Their
popularity is mainly driven by their high computational
efficiency during both training ...

Atmospheric conditions induced by suspended particles,
such as fog and haze, severely degrade image quality.
Restoring the true scene colors (clear day image) from a
single imag...
We introduce a novel parametric BRDF model that can
accurately encode a wide variety of real-world isotropic
BRDFs with a small number of parameters. The key observation
we make...
