Statistical shape-and-texture appearance models employ image metamorphosis to form a rich, compact representation of object appearance. They achieve their efficiency by decomposin...
Object detection is challenging partly due to the limited discriminative power of local feature descriptors. We amend this limitation by incorporating spatial constraints among ne...
Human identification from gait is a challenging task in realistic surveillance scenarios in which people walking along arbitrary directions are shot by a single camera. In this pa...
This paper presents a generic method for solving Markov random fields (MRF) by formulating the problem of MAP estimation as 0-1 quadratic programming (QP). Though in general solvi...

This paper introduces a new method for shape registration by matching vector distance functions. The vector distance function representation is more flexible than the conventional...
