This paper compares two methods for object localization from contours: shape context and chamfer matching of templates. In the light of our experiments, we suggest improvements to...

Uncertainty estimates related to the position of image features are seeing increasing use in several computer vision problems. Many of these have been recast from standard least s...
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...
This paper introduces a novel colour-based affine covariant region detector. Our algorithm is an extension of the maximally stable extremal region (MSER) to colour. The extension ...
Bad weather, such as fog and haze, can significantly degrade the visibility of a scene. Optically, this is due to the substantial presence of particles in the atmosphere that abso...
