We present a new statistical shape-from-shading framework for images of unknown illumination. The object (e.g., face) to be reconstructed is described by a parametric model. To de...
One of the challenges in image and video retrieval is the content-based retrieval of images and videos in the web. Less work has been done in this area, mainly due to scalability i...

Abstract. Certain problems in which the environment is not well constrained do not lend themselves to a conventional open loop solution. Image understanding is such a problem domai...
In this paper we present a general framework for object detection and segmentation. Using a bottom-up unsupervised merging algorithm, a region-based hierarchy that represents the ...
This paper presents an application of the general sample-to-object approach to the problem of invariant image classification. The approach results in defining new SVM kernels base...
