Abstract— Robust ego-motion estimation in urban environments is a key prerequisite for making a robot truly autonomous, but is not easily achievable as there are two motions invo...
Efficient detection of objects in images is complicated by variations of object appearance due to intra-class object differences, articulation, lighting, occlusions, and aspect va...
This paper proposes a novel image modeling scheme for object detection and localization. Object appearance is modeled by the joint distribution of k-tuple salient point feature ve...

Histograms of local appearance descriptors are a popular representation for visual recognition. They are highly discriminant with good resistance to local occlusions and to geomet...
The large number of rear end collisions due to driver inattention has been identified as a major automotive safety issue. In this paper, we describe a 3-phase vehicle tracking met...
