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...

This paper gives an algorithm for detecting and reading text in natural images. The algorithm is intended for use by blind and visually impaired subjects walking through city scen...
We propose a method of efficient face description for facial image retrieval from a large data set. The novel descriptor is obtained by decomposing the face image into several com...

We propose to utilize micro features, namely facial marks (e.g., freckles, moles, and scars) to improve face recognition and retrieval performance. Facial marks can be used in thr...
In this paper, we present a real-time algorithm for 3D object detection in images. Our method relies on the Ullman and Basri [13] theory which claims that the same object under di...
