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...

We present a novel approach for estimating light sources from a single image of a scene that is illuminated by major near point light sources, a few directional light sources and ...
We investigate to what extent `bag of visual words' models can be used to distinguish categories which have significant visual similarity. To this end we develop and optimize...
A new method for localising and recognising hand poses and objects in real-time is presented. This problem is important in vision-driven applications where it is natural for a use...

Current methods for learning visual categories work well when a large amount of labeled data is available, but can run into severe difficulties when the number of labeled examples...
