We describe a novel device that can be used as a 2.5D
“scanner” for acquiring surface texture and shape. The device
consists of a slab of clear elastomer covered with a
refl...
When a curved mirror-like surface moves relative to its
environment, it induces a motion field—or specular flow—
on the image plane that observes it. This specular flow is
r...

In this paper we propose a robust visual tracking method
by casting tracking as a sparse approximation problem in a
particle filter framework. In this framework, occlusion, corru...
I propose a notion of visual information as the complexity not of the raw images, but of the images after the effects of nuisance factors such as viewpoint and illumination are dis...
This paper addresses the problem of probabilistic recognition of activities from local spatio-temporal appearance. Joint statistics of space-time filters are employed to define hi...
