In this paper we propose a novel nonparametric approach
for object recognition and scene parsing using dense
scene alignment. Given an input image, we retrieve its best
matches ...
Matching based on local brightness is quite limited, because
small changes on local appearance invalidate the
constancy in brightness. The root of this limitation is its
treatme...

Image classification and annotation are important problems
in computer vision, but rarely considered together. Intuitively,
annotations provide evidence for the class label,
and...
Depth-map merging approaches have become more and
more popular in multi-view stereo (MVS) because of their
flexibility and superior performance. The quality of depth
map used fo...

Airborne LiDAR technology draws increasing interest in
large-scale 3D urban modeling in recent years. 3D Li-
DAR data typically has no texture information. To generate
photo-rea...
