In this paper we present two contributions to improve accuracy and speed of an image search system based on bag-of-features: a contextual dissimilarity measure (CDM) and an effici...
The compositional nature of visual objects significantly limits their representation complexity and renders learning of structured object models tractable. Adopting this modeling ...
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 ...
In this paper, we present a probabilistic formulation of kernel-based tracking methods based upon maximum likelihood estimation. To this end, we view the coordinates for the pixel...

This paper presents a new structure-based interest region detector called Principal Curvature-Based Regions (PCBR) which we use for object class recognition. The PCBR interest ope...
